I enjoyed discovering warmth with you in this cheeky piece of Prosery, Lisa. I think I would get headaches from ‘bonnets of seagrass firmly attach to my head’! But, oh, learning to know the love of bare and navigate maps on a canopied bed! If it’s snowing, I’d want to be close to a blazing fireplace too.

Parents that are overly strict don’t understand what is unleashed when their control ends. Not the same story, but a friend of mine has a three year old. The parents do not let her have anything with sugar. My friend joked about them going to dinner for her grandfathers birthday and the little girl licked the plate from the cake. They laughed. I thought it was inappropriate but didn’t say so. Anyhow, I asked her seriously, what she planned on doing when her daughter is at the age that she goes to other kids houses. My fear I told her is that the little girl is going to go crazy everytime she is at someones house who has that type of less restrictive diet. She said she hadn’t thought of it. I’m her friend and in a friendly way I said that they need to think about it because otherwise their little one is going to come home sick everytime she goes to someone elses house.

I know exactly what you’re getting at, Christine. There are those individuals who use that excuse to exert control over others as well. I know a person who did that about the sugar and when someone would offer their child something on the “food taboo list” they wouldn’t let the child have it. As time went on it became clear that the only time the rule was enforced was when others offered, as they themselves let the child have all kinds of “taboo” food. It’s a game that nobody can win for sure.

With the rate of childhood obesity I think teaching kids how to eat right is so important but if you keep everything away there’s going to be a day like a dam breaking.

Oh! This is so good, Lisa! How sad daughters (especially) were forced into this submissive state to find a good mate. And then left them unknowing of what was to come. You did this beautifully.
I love you used Mia Goth from Frankenstein (watched it last Saturday, to boot).

Dale, I watched it over 2 days. I loved the movie and I loved the costumes. Her wedding dress, however briefly unsullied, is gorgeous. I love the outfit I chose for this image also. Impeccable. I hope they win some awards. What did you think of the movie?

It’s so funny because I actually only recently read the book (for the first time… yes, yes, I know!). So the story was fresh in my mind and, of course, I was not expecting it to follow but I very much enjoyed what they did. Yes, her dress was and this outfit was stupendous!

Dale, I’m not even sure I have read the book but I’ve seen so many F movies. This refashioning was refreshing and with the awesome special effects, good actors, and the wardrobes, it made it that much better than the usual.

For me, I prefer to read the book after the movie anyway. It is a right good read. Especially when you realise that she was a mere 18 years old when Mary Shelley wrote it!

I’m guessing it is a right good read. Did not know she was 18 when she wrote it. Truly amazing.
