A large Regency house. Two sisters named Emilia and Charlotte talk on an upper floor. "Mister Blackwell has come to call again." says Emilia as she looks out of the window "Oh, how I despise his uncouth manners and electric bicycle!" Charlotte says "Sister, you will end up a spinster if you insist on a historically accurate suitor." and continues "The romance novel has changed, Emilia, and so must we." Emilia replies "Easy for you to say. You are engaged to the richest werewolf in the county!" They are walking through the house. Charlotte says "Look at Cousin Lucy: She is quite plain, yet made a most advantageous match with the dragon queen of nalthrax." "True." says Emilia opening the door. The tall, solid figure of Miuster Blackwell stands at the door wearing a top hat and tailcoat: "Ladies, I triumphed In my ice hockey match and won ten thousand a year in sponsorship! Miss Emilia, will you be my bride?" he is holding a hockey stick. Emilia swoons into Charlotte's arms.

A hotel corridor, lit by sickly fluorescent lighting, goes off into the distance seemingly forever.

Part ? in my occasional series of creepy hotel corridors.

I feel like I have been in this corridor many times before YET I HAVE NEVER BEEN HERE.

Your poems are shit,
and so are your stunts.
You shout at hotels,
you wife-beating cunts.

I can see how that would be a shock to the system 😆

Title: A Valentine’s Day experiment In an effort to test the efficacy of cupids arrows of desire. A placebo group is shot with regular arrows. Their injuries range from moderate to sever. Unexpectedly, romances struck up in hospital and lawyers’ waiting rooms create a "romance ratio" similar to that of magic arrows. However, once the cost of compensation claims is factored in, it is decided to discontinue.

There was a strange yellow ball in the sky this morning...whatever can it be?! 🌞😎

Thank you!

After all this time I'm a bit mothbeaten too 😁

The title page of a 1971 book by Karen DeCrow. The book is called The Young Woman’s Guide to Liberation — Alternatives to a Half-Life While the Choice is Still Yours. The publisher’s name appears at the bottom of the page: Pegasus, a division of the Bobbs-Merrill Company Incorporated Publishers.

From my vintage advice book collection: a 1971 book for young women. (I can’t get over the subtitle.)
