Leggiadrous 1. Elegant, delicate, and graceful; lovely; pulchritudinous.
“When we first met, your mother was the most leggiadrous thing I’d ever seen with her riant physiognomy, her coquettish simper, and those mirthfully coruscant ocular orbs.”

One perfect limousine, do you suppose?

Ah no, it's always just my luck to get
One perfect rose"

On 16 June 1963, Soviet cosmonaut Valentina Tereshkova embarked on a solo mission aboard the spacecraft Vostok 6.
She became the first woman to travel into space, just two years after Yuri Gagarin’s pioneering human-crewed flight... 🚀👩‍🚀🌹

Like the quiet type, all Gothic and mysterious? I'm talking books, not men.😄
'Immortelle' is the perfect read for #spookyseason.
Think white-washed church atop a cliff and ghosts that help a grieving mother exact revenge.
Available @sobelobooks.bsky.social and all the usual places.
Trailer👇
