My Ear-Trumpet Has Been Struck By Lightning

The Wunderkammer of the Mild Colonial Boy, Esq., a Reactionary Tory Gentleman, who armed only with a Steampowered Babbage Engine and Pure Motives, wanders the Time Streams and Aetheric Plane gathering an Eccentric Hodgepodge of Curiousities, Frivolities, Whimsicalities and Nonsense.

Q. Why is your Tumblelog called "My Ear-Trumpet Has Been Struck by Lightning"?

A. Because "My Grandmother's Ear-Trumpet Has Been Struck by Lightning" wouldn't fit in the available space.

frillyshirt: charleshenry: We loved this handy chart on the back page of a JW Losse Progressive Tailoring Company style book. A cap for motoring, grey suede gloves for informal evening occasions, patent leather shoes for formal evening occasions? But of course! Click image to enlarge. This is one part comical, one part useful, one part too narrow (there’s always room for one’s own touches) and one part sadly indulgent (different sets of jewelled shirt studs for dinners out and at home? Nice if you can afford it…)
