Gloria here. I am pumped because fall mystery shows are coming out now, including the new season of Masterpiece Mystery. 🗡️📚This suit was inspired by the ones worn by Max in Vienna Blood. The series writer, Steve Thompson, has a new Inspector Lynley adaptation that I am very excited to see!

Gloria here, sharing a photo from another regency shoot, this one from 2024. I am curious about the new Pride and Prejudice adaptation. I have found things to like in many past versions, even the 1940 black and white movie, which is definitely not all that accurate to the book. Are you excited?

Gloria here, wishing you a happy #caturday with a photo of Victorian Catwoman! I love the spooky vibes of this shot by @angeladesigns.bsky.social from the February @dccosplayphoto.bsky.social meetup at Congressional Cemetery. There are less than 100 days until Halloween!
