If you need a Christmas gift idea for me I'd love an adult-sized version of this chair. Photo from my collection, no date/info.

This is very funny and also brings to mind the time a work friend directed a "your mom" joke at me and I replied "my mom is DEAD," which I thought would be hilarious, but he was not remotely ready to "yes, and."
Will Arnett was on Conan and told a story about how Conan dealt with the death of his parents by accusing Jason Bateman of killing them. It’s so funny.

Have this photo of me and my mom on the shelf year-round, but I'm looking at it a lot these days. It seems some of the memories come back more vividly as the years go on.

Day 8 of my Edwardian #AdventCalendar is this vivid evening cape of orange silk, embellished with lace and rhinestones. Designed by Jacques Doucet in c. 1900-05, this garment belonged to American heiress Caroline Schermerhorn Astor Wilson. Met Museum collection. #fashionhistory

Was just lamenting that I didn't have a decent copy of LARCENY, INC. at hand and behold, it's on TCM tonight. A Christmas miracle.

Tonight's rewatch. Full of touching moments of everyday gentleness, and deep wounds that seem to open up whenever souls stray from their own humanity. Lovely performances all around, but I was particularly taken with Drew's warmth this time.
