I would also call that a lazy Susan. I would say that’s the dominant meaning, but it’s also used for smaller versions. I’ve never heard of a carousel cupboard.

In the US, it’s a platform that turns so you can access things more easily, like in a spice cabinet. What is it being used for in your book?

This screenshot from Instagram is my only evidence my book was on sale (early!) in the Met’s “Sargent and Paris” gift shop. I went to photograph it today and it was sold out! Releases widely on August 7!

Depends on who is doing the cherishing and what is being cherished. 😅

Does Gallica just randomly go down for people in the middle of what would be the workday in France? Like surely this isn't maintenance...

Oh god. That’s awful.

Saturdays in summer herald wedding season and this was a colourful bride, a gown worn by Harriet Joyce on June 8 1899 for her marriage to Percy Sams. This was a practical choice, one that perhaps meant Harriet wore it subsequently, a reminder of her wedding day on each outing, V&A #FashionHistory 🗃️🪡

Selecting and copying some random text on my iphone and then immediately pasting it into my macbook (any application) makes me feel like I'm living in some kind of Star Trek future. I don't know how they're achieving this, but it feels like magic.

I also have found the results for 19th c. printed materials to be astoundingly accurate (copying text out of photos using an iphone). ChatGPT is really good at transcribing handwritten letters... or at least the ones written by my artist. (Yes it's evil, but it is extremely helpful at this).

Discovering I can access newspapers.com from home thank to my NYPL card makes life so much easier.

Feels rather incongruous to have on my to do list for today: "email the French ministère de la Guerre" (to see if they still have a painting of white roses by Louise Abbéma) 🕊️

While I admire the desire that workers be able to take pride in their work, I hate virtually everything else about William Morris. I like May though.

Oh drat. It includes Dimensions. They made great cross-stitch kits. 😢 #crossstitch

If it makes you feel better stoats are pretty vicious killers. They kill rabbits 10x their size.

I assumed just more stoats had to die? What’s the point of being a royal if not to cause massive small animal death?

I did it via the Wiki edu platform. I think you can see the whole assignment at the link below (& stats so far). I had never edited Wikipedia before and it was honestly quite easy, though it was a lot of work, so I'd recommend it for small, high-level courses. dashboard.wikiedu.org/courses/Fash...

Happy to see my students Wiki edits from our Spring Fashion and Impressionism seminar are getting seen! (I also discuss the photo in my forthcoming book ❤️)

That’s terrible to hear. I definitely credit you in my forthcoming book! Happy to hear you’re pursuing the PhD.

This is a very common prop in fashion plates. In my chapter I argue it’s performing bourgeois femininity.

One of my students did! We did a Wikipedia project in my “Fashion & Impressionism” seminar this Spring. It was an amazing find Summer! I analyze her pose/dress in my forthcoming book, The Art of Parisian Chic (Bloomsbury, August 2025).

Opinion | What I Learned Serving on My University’s AI Committee What I learned serving on a university AI committee.

“Preserving art, literature, and philosophy will require no less than the creation of an environment totally and uncompromisingly committed to abolishing the linguistic alienation created by AI and reintroducing students to the indispensability of their own voice.“
