I‘m a day late, the air quality in New Hampshire took me out yesterday with a massive headache. Anyone else?

Anyway, I never read this book but I loved the movie. (Normally I hate a movie cover on a book, but this one has Kate Winslet so she gets a pass).

Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks I hope you‘re feeling better ❤️‍🩹 2w

Cuilin @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks thanks, we still have an air quality alert due to the Canadian wildfires, but it‘s not as high as yesterday so 🤞 2w

kspenmoll I stayed indoors yesterday - air quality was awful due to smoke & allergens. It saps my energy level. It‘s too bad because it‘s cooler outside this week! Hope you are feeling better. 2w

Eggs Headaches are the worst. Hope your head feels better today😌 2w

Cuilin @kspenmoll I just read an NPR headline saying wildfire smoke is like smoking half a pack a day!! 😳 I just want some fresh air. 2w

Cuilin @Eggs thanks. Feeling much better today. 2w

Sarahreadstoomuch NH here too…. And have been feeling run down and headache-y for days. Hopefully the winds will change soon! 2w

Cuilin @Sarahreadstoomuch here‘s hoping 🤞 because my eyes are stinging still. 2w

Sarahreadstoomuch @Cuilin I honestly didn‘t put it together until I read your post! 2w

Fashion Victims: Dress at the Court of Louis XVI and Marie-Antoinette | Kimberly Chrisman-Campbell

We do not care that we bought the shorts we're wearing at a thrift store during Clinton's second term. Some styles are timeless.

We also do not care that we're posting this on Thursday. Time is a construct, and we can't be expected to keep up with what day it is.

Worn Stories | Emily Spivack

Loving this great run of shorter non-fiction reading I'm having, let it never end!
Sartorial memoirs, as the cover suggests, manifest as one- to two-page accounts of how particular garments/wearable items relate to the person in question's life - turns out not all the items are treasured items, even if they have been kept for years, a few painful memories in the mix - the full range from meaningful to light-hearted reasoning for retention, 1/?

Robotswithpersonality 2/? upon recall.
A number of the memoirs are 'as told' to Spivack, but there are also a mix of writers in among the various artists and fashion creatives included in the collection, so you get their own words. As one might expect to find in any personal history surrounding fashion, there is a smidgen of cultural appropriation, purely aesthetic insecurities reinforced by society's unrealistic beauty standards, consumerism, 1mo

Robotswithpersonality 3/3 but overall it's encouraging in today's throwaway culture to see among those interviewed, not just those who treasure keepsakes kept in the back of drawers and closets, but also those who regularly wear the items highlighted. 1mo

Ah yes, the secular cult I have to talk myself out of membership with EVERY TIME I'm in a thrift store. 🤦🏼‍♂️

1. We do not care that we had a full-blown panic attack after a doctor's appointment in the middle of the waiting room.

If you have never seen a middle-aged woman ugly-snot cry and hyperventilate in public, you were too sheltered anyway.

2. We do not care that you've cut down all the bushes and trees in your yard. We are still not wearing a bra in our own backyard to take the dog out!

@dabbe

Chrissyreadit Hope you are ok! ❤️ 1mo

dabbe L😍VE this! #gobralessismymotto 🩵💙🩵 1mo

dabbe And I meant to say that I love #2. #1: I hope you're okay and to hell with anyone who looked at you strangely. 🩵💙🩵 1mo

AmyG I hope you are feeling better. HUGS 1mo

IriDas 🤗 I hope you‘re doing better. And why on earth did they cut down the bushes? Did they want to look into their neighbor‘s yards? 1mo

Eggbeater @Chrissyreadit Thank you. I am. It was just information/stimulation overload. 1mo

Eggbeater @AmyG 🤗 Hugs I am better. Thank you. 1mo

Eggbeater @dabbe 🙌 right? 1mo

Eggbeater @IriDas I know. It's like they stripped their house naked. I don't want to see faces in my backyard, and I don't want to listen to country music about trucks all day every day. But, I draw the line at putting on a bra, so I hope they didn't have expectations. 1mo

Amiable @Eggbeater I am so totally with you on the faces in my yard and country music about pickup trucks!! Ugh 😣 1mo

Eggbeater @Deblovestoread We don't care! User blocked. Profile pic changed to pitbull. THAT'S when you block someone. 1mo

mcctrish I‘m so sorry about the panic attack - the dingdong creeper better hope he‘s not in Cranford 1mo

CBee @Eggbeater been there ♥️ Panic attacks are the absolute worst. 1mo

AnnCrystal glad you're alright. Prayers and good vibes for you 👸🙏🏼🥺👌🏼💝...I hate when people remove all signs of life from their gardens! Poor neighborhood critters... 1mo

Bookwomble I originally thought the tagged book read "Braless in Wonderland," did a double take and saw that it was! ? I hope you're panic attacks are settling ? 1mo

Eggbeater @Bookwomble I thought it was a great title to go with WDNCW 🤣 1mo

Sleeping with the Enemy: Coco Chanel's Secret War | Hal Vaughan

pick

When you thought you couldn‘t read another WW11 story, this detailed and intricate bio looks at the socio-political situation of the time through the lens of the privileged and connected. Despite Coco being an awful Nazi collaborator it‘s fascinating to track her artistic connections and be shown a gritty side of those that really stuck their necks out to help others. Beautifully researched book.
