Well, this post seems like a lifetime ago but as promised, I did finish putting together the kit in time for May Day.

Sorry for butting into this conversation, but I had a bunny named Dennis Hopper! He was the sweetest boy.

Found some scans of lovely vintage photos and postcards I had collected at some point, so I think I will post a few here! Here are two ghostly children.
Antique sepia-toned photo of young girl in a white dress staring straight at the camera. She is standing in the grass. Behind her are trees and the side of a house surrounded by a fence. Hazy vintage photo of a young boy all in white. He is standing in the grass. Behind him is shrubbery, trees, and the window of a house.

Lately I've been thinking about how little Euchariah Who stood up to the Grinch in my favorite Halloween cartoon "Halloween is Grinch Night" so I made myself a silly little inspirational graphic. I will not flinch!
Still of a Dr. Seuss character, Euchariah Who, from the 1977 Halloween special "Halloween is Grinch Night." He is sitting with arms crossed and a satisfied smile on his face. He is wearing a long orange shirt and orange stockings, glasses, and has spiky hair. A text block reads "Do your worst. Bring on your spooks. Shoot the works. I will not flinch!"

They are very sexy but not this sexy:

I'm not sure if it's a really good time or a really bad time to start re-reading Thomas Hardy novels but here we go...

What else does my Wall of John Goodman need?

Finished this one tonight which I read after seeing @mjpcuervo.bsky.social speak highly of it. At first I was a bit daunted because I didn't know if I wanted to commit to a 650 pager right now but I flew through it! Now off to google all the historical sites mentioned in the book...
Book cover of Green Darkness by Anya Seton. The cover features an orange pattern of heraldry with crests, heraldic beasts, crown, and other flourishes on yellow background. The text is on a white square in the center of the cover and reads Anya Seton. Green Darkness. A Novel. New York Times Bestseller.

If you asked me what my favorite pieces I've choreographed are, the list would be dominated by the David Lynch-inspired acts I've done. I often get really stuck, but those acts came so easily because the source material just provided so much for me to work with. A few pics in honor of David.
Group of women in plaid vests and clear ponchos holding clear umbrellas reenacting the Miss Twin Peaks pageant dance. There are red curtains and a black and white chevron pattern on the stage. Woman in black sitting on a chair playing the part of Laura Palmer at the Black Lodge. Another woman in a red suit is dancing as The Man From Another Place. There are red curtains and a black and white chevron pattern on the stage. Group of women in white shirts and black suits wearing white wigs, meant to look like Leland Palmer. There are red curtains, a black and white chevron pattern on the stage, and projections of a chevron pattern behind the dancers. Man in a suit with an FBI badge playing the part of Dale Cooper flanked by two women playing the part of Dougie Jones in bright green blazers and tan pants, dousing themselves with glitter coffee. Two other women in the role of Mr. C wear black leather jackets and sit on the stage pretending to arm wrestle. There are red curtains behind the dancers.

It's cold and dreary out, so I'm really excited about this little craft kit I got to make a miniature maypole and dancers! It's from a company called Copse and Spinney. I will post a picture of the result (unless it looks terrible).
Box containing an instruction sheet and supplies to make a miniature maypole and dancers. The supplies include a wooden dowel, wooden peg dolls, fibers for hair, paper leaves, and dried florals.

@johnnyriordan.bsky.social had me at "William Blake comic." I think this was the quickest purchase I've ever made after discovering something, and it was more gorgeous than I ever dreamed. Very much looking forward to the next issue!
Cover of Los: A Vision of William Blake by John Riordan, along with a bookmark. The cover features a red and blue swirling pattern and shows bare trees around a nude figure with arms outstretched. The bookmark features an illustration of Blake as an old man in bed with a text bubble that reads "Ah, hello. How good of you to call again."

Yesterday's read was A Pattern of Roses by K.M. Peyton. I actually searched for the film first but couldn't find it anywhere. A sad ghost story, but I enjoyed it. Lots of interesting discussion about work and education.
Book cover of A Pattern of Roses by K.M. Peyton. Solid red with no image and overlay of text excerpt. Title and author name is on a white banner on the top half of cover.

First two post-holiday reads - Wylding Hall by @elizabethhand.bsky.social and Sweetheart, Sweetheart by Bernard Taylor. Both had gorgeous descriptions of nature and the countryside, while also providing some terrifying images I won't soon forget.
Two book covers - Wylding Hall by Elizabeth Hand and Sweetheart, Sweetheart by Bernard Taylor. The Wylding Hall cover shows a bloodied wren on a background of purple and magenta swirls. Sweetheart, Sweetheart shows a skeleton hand reaching out to touch a white rose on a black background.

"I have not received tartlets. I am not thankful!" Definitely enjoyed this one (although I was worried about the fate of Foxy the whole time). I think we are on a Powell and Pressburger kick now!
Film poster for "Gone to Earth." Shows a woman in a green dress with red hair blowing in the wind. She is standing on a hill; the sky in the background is yellow and orange and there is a mountain in the distance. Text reads "A London Film Production Presented by Alexander Korda and David O. Selznick. Jennifer Jones. David Farrar. Powell and Pressburger's Production Gone to Earth. With Cyril Cusack. Color by Technicolor. Written, Produced, and Directed by Michael Powell and Emeric Pressburger.
