You're absolutely right: it was the Victoria "aesthetic" that always appealed to me.Beehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02375981493145612394noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9027621747663402662.post-68433295674731568332008-06-10T20:03:00.000-04:002008-06-10T20:03:00.000-04:00OOOhhhh, look a comment here. After I had given he...OOOhhhh, look a comment here. After I had given her completely up.<BR/><BR/>Bee (drunk on life),<BR/> <BR/> I am glad you can see it working that way. I've decided to move forward with it in place (when I start moving forward again, that is).<BR/><BR/>I didn't either, but there it was, it seemed the same, but for the name.<BR/>Trinidad, that sounds really interesting.<BR/>Yes, it makes perfect sense to me. For I am forever drawn to such pages, yet the outward appearance of life around me (in my home) could serve as no reflection of them. But they speak to me just the same, and it is the feeling of them, I wish I could echo (more so than any specific scene). And there is something fine, and delicate, in that beauty, that seems forever, and feminine, and also strong, it seems antique and enduring, for even when new the items and ideas follow classic lines, so nostalgia on an emotional level for the idea of it, seems perfectly resonable.<BR/><BR/>I am trying harder to make sure that when I purchase something that it works more towards my idea of me (my life). Bob for example likes to bring me home neon green and hot pink, t-shirts and tanks, that he gets on sale for a couple of bucks, which is nice of him, but I am trying to kindly explain to him, that I don't feel comfortable, or at all like me, in those colors.)Taffinyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00961088325369065690noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9027621747663402662.post-58836302170012322822008-06-09T05:21:00.000-04:002008-06-09T05:21:00.000-04:00I like this idea very much . . . from the way that...I like this idea very much . . . from the way that you explain it, the "un-reality" (ie, the unlikelihood of Japanese beetles being in Japan) of the detail seems justified by the message/symbolism of the story.<BR/><BR/>Also, I used to love Victoria magazine. I didn't realize that they had relaunched it! We lived in Trinidad for several years, and I used to pore over Victoria -- in a fit of "nostalgia." (I was nostalgic for a style of life, an aesthetic, lost to me; albeit one that I had never really experienced. Still, it was my ideal. Does that make sense?)Beehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02375981493145612394noreply@blogger.com
