Los Paños del Cielo, inspirado en el poema homónimo de Yeats.

Si tuviera los paños bordados del cielo,
extendería los paños bajo tus pies:
Pero yo, siendo pobre,
he extendido mis sueños bajo tus pies;
pisa con cuidado porque pisas mis sueños.

It’s the 111th anniversary today of the birth of Harry Rée, who was a teacher and conscientious objector when the Second World War broke out, and by the time it ended, when he was 31, had invented ‘blackmail sabotage’ and got a DSO, an OBE, a Croix de Guerre, and a Medaille de la Resistance

FRED WEST CELLAR.

SHE STOOD UP IN COURT AND CALLED HER BASEMENT A FRED WEST CELLAR HOLY SHIT

I have also been compelled to reach the sad conclusion that Ms Saunders did not instruct solicitors to act for her in this litigation as she wanted to retain control over the issues in the case and, in particular, wished to control the disclosure of documents. As a former solicitor she understands, or should understand, disclosure obligations and she knows that any solicitors instructed would supervise a reasonable search. She is very familiar with instructing solicitors in other contexts. Ms Saunders said that she had six filing cabinets of documents held within what she referred to as "the Fred West cellar". Not only was that part of her evidence in shockingly bad taste, and another indication that she is an individual who lacks empathy or feeling for others, but it shows just how poor her disclosure has been. It is a fundamental of the adversarial system of litigation that there must be openness in the disclosure of documents and in Square Global Limited v Leonard [2020] EWHC 1008, it was set out that:

"The client should not be allowed to decide relevance – or even potential relevance – for himself, so either the client must send all the files to the solicitor, or the solicitor must visit the client to review the files and take the relevant documents into his passion. It is then for the solicitor to decide which documents are relevant and disclosable"

Los Angeles has just declared a state of emergency.

Not because of wildfires. Not because of riots. But because of an invasion by federal government troops.

We can see where this is going.

This striking kimono transforms the classical arrow-feather (yabane) motif into a sophisticated exercise in pure form and color, where angular chevron shapes in vibrant yellows, deep purples, rich browns, and silvery grays create a syncopated pattern across the garment's surface. 1926-1940, Japan
