L’ancien Gibet de Montfaucon (Paris)

I take ZERO pleasure in this energy but I MUST work through it. One person will understand just how deeply I researched 17th century France. Anyway. The energy today… …Crows. Gallows.

Roads that Lead Everywhere

I had a strange memory about Malory and Newgate prison but was too lazy to research properly so I went wiki – Thomas Malory and also wiki – Le Morte d’Arthur. Oh. my giddy aunt. The connections are MIND-BLOWING! I haven’t got time to name all but Steinbeck? T.H. White? And – Aubrey Beardsley. When […]

Bollinger

I have a photo somewhere of a bottle of Bollinger resting in a bidet full of cold water and ice cubes. The staff at the Ritz in Paris got a little suspicious of me and her when we kept calling room service and asking for MORE ice! Well. When you buy bolly in a Tabac, […]
