Dalek dress by somevelvetmorning
Yet another costume I’d love to have for ComicCon…le sigh.
Of all the Dalek-y costumes I’ve ever seen, this is probably my favorite. Because, you know, also a very cute dress.

Every once in a great while, I get a little nostalgic about college. And you know that I like historical postcards and ephemera.
Alas, this one is from before the construction of Denney Hall, the entirely nondescript fifties era building wherein I spent the majority of my time.
But the Oval looks pretty here, and you know I spent quite a bit of time there, too.

Before I saw the caption, I thought this was very good Sherlock fan art.
Jessica Mitford and Esmond Romilly in Bayonne, 1937
Esmond Romilly and Jessica Mitford rejected their privileged backgrounds and became communists in the 1930s. After he ran away from school, Esmond began working in a communist bookshop and later took part in the Spanish Civil War. When he was recuperating from an illness back in England, he fell in love with his second cousin, Jessica Mitford, one of the famous Mitford sisters, and at the age of nineteen, they eloped together to the dismay of their families.
(I am currently reading Jessica’s autobiography ‘Hons and Rebels’, and I am in love with Esmond.)
Automatic. They remain one of my most favorite love stories.

My library! I should take a picture tomorrow, so we can compare. But I’ll probably forget.
