Can this baby kill?

Farewell beautiful Terence Stamp. Never better than running around in a pink onesie in The Mind of Mr Soames. (Well, not until Priscilla came along anyway!)

Beautiful photo of Diana Rigg that I'd not seen before, with lovely Alec McCowen (with whom she was appearing in The Misanthrope). Vogue, March 15th 1973.

Do not go gentle into that tapestry knight.

A big badge bearing the Euro Tunnel logo.

"Is that badge for sale?"

"Well, it says Euro Tunnel so I wasn't going to put it out but OK. 50p"

"Thanks!"

When I was young, my mum bought old Sixties girls annuals in charity shops for me to read (and that explains a lot!). I was absolutely obsessed with this article, definitely the first time I was aware of Marianne Faithfull. Farewell sweet lady.

All specific fabric and furniture credits (Liberty’s, Heals, Ken Scott, Laura Ashley, Valentino, Pallu and Lake, Boussac, Sue Collier, Artemide, Sekers etc) in the second image.

Cursed, inept rendering of the cover of Abbey Road in, I don't know, poster paints.

Stewart Orr, with characterful left eyebrow. A leaf from a lovingly curated photo album of 1980s Radio Norfolk personalities.

Detail from a book cover embossed with an Ex Libris press: "ONE OF SHEILA PEALS' BOOKS". You can look her up; she lived into her 90s and got into the local papers a few times.

Presenting John Mills and Carol Bundock. A leaf from a lovingly curated photo album of 1980s Radio Norfolk personalities.

Overwhelmed by the bounty in Norwich's charity shops, I leave with nothing.

Please lift by the head not the hair, thanks.

Still wish I'd had a spare £110 and a car that day.

Absolutely glorious old internal telephones spotted in a charity shop today. I want to know where they came from, who Mr Webb, Mr Stanley and 'Pardoe' were. And why the gramophone had its own number.

Was it a small, brown Richard III?

Also worn by Olivia Newton-John, amongst others...

It's the Diana Crawshaw for Mr Freedom baseball suit! Katy had the full length version. ♥️

People might bring up Vincent van Gogh as an example of a painter who did great work in spite of, or because of, his suffering. I like to think that van Gogh would have been even more prolific and even greater if he wasn't so restricted by the things tormenting him. I don't think it was pain that made him so great, I think painting brought him whatever happiness he had. —David Lynch

I don't think it was pain that made him so great, I think painting brought him whatever happiness he had.

RIP David Lynch

The beautiful visionary artist David Lynch is dead at 78. And the malignant troll Rupert Murdoch is still alive at 93. There are no words and no justice in this world.

I like to pretend Gilmore Girls was a cutesy David Lynch side project.

Only last year we were into the 30s and 40s and next... fashions will take us on to the 50s. It’s going to be a sexy cutie-pie look, the teeny-boppiest, greatest bubble-blowing clothes yet.

The number one movie at the box office on your 10th birthday is how 2025 will turn out for you.

Licence to Kill 😂

"Fantasy can run the whole gamut, but we like the feel of a ‘Thirties-type Hollywood pin-up pic, the soulful tragi-comic look of a clown or even a glamorous ‘Twenties flapper girl."

Model is Vivienne Lynn.

The glorious Miss Eartha Kitt on Parkinson, 10th February 1973. Wearing a dreamy custom Thea Porter abaya dress.

Joanna Lumley giving me the New Avengers and Celia Birtwell-print Ossie Clark crossover I didn’t know I needed. I would dearly love to know what this smelled like, if anyone can remember please let me know!

You know, I'd love to get comfortable in this app, but the fact that I had an explicit content label slapped on me for no good reason the other day is making me feel very unnerved. Do I have a hateful stalker or is it AI moderation in practice. @moderation.bsky.app have so far ignored my appeals.
