The Wunderkammer of the Mild Colonial Boy, Esq., a Reactionary Tory Gentleman, who armed only with a Steampowered Babbage Engine and Pure Intentions, 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.
How much do you think this ensemble (vintage velvet dress; lace stockings; mary janes) cost?
Set of black lace + solid plum stockings: three dollars, from a Rue21 clearance rack.
Shoes: fifteen cents, from Goodwill.
Dress: twenty-nine cents, ibid.
Feeling like the heroine of a Victorian gothic romance: priceless.(Also I plan to wear this as inspiration for The Novel every day. If I had owned it during NaNoWriMo I might never have removed it.)
