Things I love
- What I Did for a Duke, by Julie Anne Long.
Despite the title and hilarious cover, I ended up loving this!It will definitely be one of my guilty pleasure rereads. The characters were brilliantly drawn and original takes on my favorite type of Romance hero and heroine - he older, debauched, wicked and sardonic, she innocent and earnest and full of passion (emotional and physical) just waiting to be unleashed. I loved their banter which was witty and delightful and the sexy bits were very sexy.
- Jazz Age Fashion: Dressed to Kill, which Cy got for me.
It's all close ups of actual clothes from the 20s, and the details are exquisite.
- Jamie Oliver's 30 Minute Meals show. Jamie will always be a comfort watch/read for me. I'm not sure if I could actually make all these meals in 30 minutes, since I feel like it always takes me longer to cook things, but I'd sure like to try! YUM
- The documentary Flappers, Speakeasies and the Birth of Modern Culture.
- On a Takarazuka kick again, thanks to Chicchai!Aileen. Although now I am a bit sad that I may have lost my copy of the 1997 performance of "http://www.takarazuka-revue.info/tiki-index.php?page=Romanesque+Mask+%2F+Golden+Days+%28Snow+1997%29">Kamen no Romanesque, AKA the best Takarazuka show ever, because Hanafusa Mari, Takane Fubuki and my favorite of favorites, Todoroki Yuu.
- Getting into watercolors again, which has been fun.
