Reposted by Laura KinsmanAdam Mallinger @bitterscriptreader.bsky.social · 25/06/2026Exactly! I once saw a writer say that when he saw something that seemed to go against character or lore, his reaction was never “That wouldn’t happen!” It was always to think “HOW would that happen? What would make that happen?” Way more creative and fun 1303

The beige silk and black beaded top and the black and pink sequined bottom come crashing together at the low waist through sharp triangles. It is very artistic and truly exemplifies the 1920s Art Dec's focus on geometric shapes #Fashionhistory 412620

To start, here’s Gaudi’s Casa Mila (1906–10), better known as La Pedrera (The Quarry) because of its undulating rock face vibe. (Am pacing myself with all things Gaudi, so didn’t go in.) 2222
Reposted by Laura KinsmanRedScharlach @redscharlach.bsky.social · 24/02/2026The main auditorium at the Palace of Catalan Music is SUPREMELY fancy. Everything is stained glass or mosaic or tiles or twiddly stonework, and the central skylight looks like a sunburst surrounded by singing ladies, and droops down from the ceiling like a great big Art Nouveau boobie. It’s amazing. 2171
