Yay Ramona! The illustration below has been my frequent mood so long I made it into a charm I sometimes wear on my work lanyard. Ramona forever.
Ramona Quimby black and white illustration by Louis Darling: legs wide, hands in fists, Ramona shouts "Nooo!" One of her shoelaces in untied and she wears a dark dress with a light buttoned cardigan, her chin-length hair askew.

30 years of watching Rufus Sewell. Want to watch Cold Comfort Farm again. It's also the first movie I saw Rupert Penry Jones in, but I didn't really notice him then because I was focused on Rufus Sewell.
Rufus Sewell looking up, his brown hair in curls, bending over a water pump on a 1930s farm in Cold Comfort Farm (1995), in close up without a shirt on.

Meant to have less screen time and more time reading on my days off this week, but instead... movies and mysteries (Columbo and Cadfael).

Book cover for Beverly Jenkins' Destiny's Embrace with text in dark pink and yellow above and below an African American couple embracing. Her back is to the viewer, her blue 19th century style gown revealing her back and he's shirtless gazing at her. A cowboy hat and yellow roses are on the grass in front of them, tiny purple flowers in the field surrounding them with a sunset and tree-dotted mountain landscape behind.

Black and white photo of Agnes Moorehead sitting in an ornate wood chair with her hair up and am unsmiling and slightly disdainful expression from The Magnificent Ambersons. Color photo of Agnes Moorehead in Bewitched with Endora's iconic look of 1960s-styled red hair, full makeup, and a bright green and purple outfit, her hands up and a smile on her face.

Spec is tired of this drek.
Spec the black and white cat sitting spread out on a wood floor with his front paws tucked under looking at the camera in a way that seems to say "I'm tired of your nonsense" but knowing Spec, he's just chilling before finding mischief or pets.

📚👍 #KidLit The Katha Chest is so gorgeous on every level.
Page spread from The Katha Chest. Pinkish beige background with text on the upper right. A girl is asleep on a pile of quilts in an open chest; the colorful quilts wave out from the chest.

📚👍 #KidLit The cover doesn't quite match the content, in that the book deals with some hard issues, though it does have its cute moments and I recommend if you like romancey YA.
Illustrated cover in bright yellows, blues, greens, pinks, and oranges of Rubi Ramos's Recipe for Success by Jessica Parra. White title text over a couple, a Latina woman in front of a pink surfboard and a white male behind.

Went down a rabbit hole trying to find pictures, and many looks I like are left out. This is a sampling, though I find a lot of other styles and colors appealing, usually burgundies, blues, pinks, and black with pops of color or texture. Mainly it's some color, texture, and some fitted piece.
Winston Duke in a tan striped suit with a wrap/sash-tie jacket and mustard suede shoes standing on a purple carpet. Two Japanese actors posing in front of a red chain link fence. Both wear traditional Japanese robes, once in burgundy and black and one in shades of blue. Gerard Butler and Ewan McGregor in kilts. (Butler's is more like a black skirt with an embroidered in-flight bird of prey). Saif Ali Khan posing in a gold brocade sherwani.
