So here I was feeling all guilty because I hadn't posted to my blog for a while. Yet after a full day and an evening of a not-very-good production of Tosca, I wasn't really up for cranking out a lot of verbiage tonight.
Luckily for me someone forwarded me a ton of pictures from last Friday's party, thus generously providing me with the opportunity to see whether the adage about a picture being worth a thousand words is actually true.
In fact, I would like to add Poppy's Postulate to the above. To wit: if a picture is worth a thousand words, then a picture of a bunch of idiots wearing rented period costumes is worth at least ten thousand. Maybe more.
If'n I was you, I'd find it VERY disturbing that the outfit--with hat, no less--is rather flattering.
ReplyDeleteActually, there are long stretches of the 19th century that work for me--pretty much all of it except the Napoleonic-empire-waist stuff.
ReplyDeleteToo bad I wasn't actually around to enjoy a century of freedom from tube tops.
--P.
Egad. Don't tell me you have tube tops as part of the attire skeletons in your closet. You think you know a person...
ReplyDeleteBy the way, the guy wearing jeans in that picture looks like he costumed himself with the aid of a book a long the lines of: How To Attire Oneself Like A Common Person: A Brief Introduction for Beginners
