Bookshelf and romantics

[erastes]

Bagged a bargain today, went down into Norwich today, (which I loathe) and got a massive bookcase for £15 – this is it.

(this is from the advert, not my house, as as soon as I get it into situ, it will be stuffed with books) Plus my house isn’t so tidy!!!  It needs sanding down and tinting but it’s a bookcase!

I’m planning to put it where the upstairs hall banister is, which is one of those horrid 1970’s things with two wooden planks, and I can keep all my gay fiction is one place. I shall start scouring the cheapo ads and junk shops for more. 

OK – running off now to watch Desperate Romantics.  Millais, Rossetti, Ruskin… YUM!

I thought DR was wonderful. A great mix of historical and humour.

I was lucky enough to see Waking Dreams: THE ART OF THE PRE-RAPHAELITES FROM THE DELAWARE ART MUSEUM (http://www.stlouis.art.museum/index.aspx?id=121&exh=48) four years ago. To finally see such famous images for real was incredible. I was stunned at how 'modern' Frederick Sandys' depiction of Mary Magdalene looked.

Yes she could be an anorexic girl from any town couldn't she? I loved DR too, glad it went down the humour route - young men even in that age would be taking the piss out of each other.
