I bought some of these Clarks shoes today because superheidi said they were good. AND THEY ARE. These are teh most comfortable shoes ever.
That’s the internet for you. A person you’ve never met, but who you consider an acquaintance/futurefriend, who lives in some other country (I don’t even know which one! [...]
is why I haven’t been plumbing the depths of Rudolph Valentino for fashion ideas.
I mean, he’s totally the definition of dandy:
He likes accessories:
He’s not afraid of the utterly ridiculous feature item:
He’s good at strict poses:
And doing suspicious poses:

Last night I dreamt that Todd Yannacone and I were BFFs on a coach trip together, and were particularly enchanted by some squirrels we saw through the window.
WTF unconscious? I mean, it’s not like I’m even interested in arboreal mammals…

It’s women’s history month again, and I’m listing a different woman musician from the first half of the century every day (as I explain here). Last year I did a different woman dancer every day, and that was super great fun. I’m enjoying the women musicians, but I haven’t really had [...]

(photo of Mary Lou Williams, extremely awesome woman pianist, who fucking PWND the fairly dick-centred boogiewoogie piano world, from here. She was all about OWNING the discourse.)
I’m back running, desperate to get some serious exercise during the christmas dancing drought. So far it’s going well, except today I did run [...]
Eleven charming songs. Some of them are serious and some of them are not. I don’t think I’d count any of them as lindy hop songs. But all of them are suitable for dancing the fandango wearing only a marmot after drinking entire bottle of gin (as suggested by @ARPy_ and encouraged [...]

Lovely Doris sent me this as a belated birthday present. Doris is the best. She is my no.1 CD supplier, and she always sends the best bands, well before I’ve heard of them. EXCELLENT WORK DORIS.

It’s raining a lot in Brisbane, and I’ve finally managed to ascertain the whereabouts of the various family members who’ve been Left Behind while the rest of us fled south. I am now also sure my Brisvegan friends are safe and well. No one is injured or missing, and we southerners are very relieved. Meanwhile, [...]
