A little commotion for my Queen Thea!!
She is my glorious FMC from A Maze of Monsters & Men. Shy but unafraid to spar if affronted and push back against pigheaded men in archaeology.
Also utterly unafraid to be ravished by two gorgeous men in the middle of the labyrinth.

The outward perception of this #1880s dress, attributed to Liberty, is of classical drapery, a goddess style Grecian form. Peek beneath, however, and some boned scaffolding holds the body firm @metmuseum.org #FashionHistory 🗃️🪡

Did you know that whilst A Maze of Monsters and Men is spicy and sweet monster romance, it also revolves around a very really archaeology dig in Crete in 1900?
But don't worry! There's no love for Arthur Evans here!
A Maze of Monsters and Men is teaming with heart, heat, and history!

wrote about TWIN PEAKS (coming to MUBI on friday) and the specific cruelty of losing an artist who could capture so elegantly what it feels like to be living through our unfathomable now
Twin Peaks predicted the spectacular collapse of America’s myths about itself
It’s not new, but Twin Peaks is as great as ever – maybe more so as we continue to mourn Lynch and his vision.

I notice that this early #1870s Worth gown features in the Paris retrospective of the fashion house’s designs. I have long used this gown as an example of the bringing together of makers - of passementerie, of weavers, of seamstresses in a dizzying assortment @metmuseum.org #FashionHistory 🗃️🪡

the original LILO & STITCH is my favourite disney animation. i really did not enjoy the remake & find the primarkification of stitch to be obscene, somebody please save him from this millennial cringe
