Underscoring that it was really was a touch hipper than its inspiration & rival “Blue Peter”, the 1973 Annual of children’s ITV show “Magpie” had presenter Susan Stranks in a 1971 design by Bowie favourite Kansai Yamamoto: “I don’t know quite when I’d wear it, but it’s certainly very colourful.”

Beloved Ishtar! Hail to the Queen of Heaven!

How did the Romans design, mark out and create their beautiful mosaic masterpieces? ⛏️ In the first episode of this three-part series, we followed a joint team from King's College London and the London School of Mosaic as they reconstructed the mosaic in our hypocaust room. youtu.be/MwoVAVmKNFc?...

I pulled up this cool featurette because it includes a close-up of a beautiful but grisly artifact known as "Cybele's nutcrackers." Part one of an excellent series from a few years back. www.youtube.com/watch?v=DHpi...

Detail of untitled work by [Dora] Carrington (who hated the name Dora, but if I don't write it, people think it's from Leonora Carrington). 1920s. I think of it as "portrait of a mountain Goddess."

He looks like he thought the house was empty when he took a shower, only to step out and be confronted by his mother in law.

Heartwarming. I saw their very busy booth today out on the Common but they were all talking to other people so I had no opportunity to offer my personal support to them as an old queen.

I'm not going to Toledo but if I were, I'd be tempted by this. Spotted this exhibition catalogue for a forthcoming show in a bookshop this evening.

Only Vampira could make me smile about Daylight Losing Time.

Centennial birthday remembrances for Jack Creley, an American who studied with Marie Ouspenskaya and established himself as a versatile character actor in Canada. Noted for his role in VIDEODROME... I loved his portrayal of acerbic scoundrel Laslo Thaxton in the Gothic serial STRANGE PARADISE.

Gallows humor. But I still laughed.

Peter Davison, Janet Fielding, and Mark Strickson (who had gorgeous legs once upon a time) in a new Dr. Who skit. This is my happiness place. www.youtube.com/watch?v=9WAB...

Spring will get here eventually. Today was sunny and high round 50. But we have to wait a while to get to where this favorite photo points us towards.
