East London barbers are brutal. While washing my hair, he says ‘Have you thought about making the trip to Turkey?’ 🇹🇷🫨😂

One of my favourite things to find while going through vintage knitting patterns are these little written notes and maths in the text and margins, which show evidence of a garment’s existence - that a garment was made - without the garment physically present. #knitwear #fashionhistory

I walked for 25 minutes in the cold to go to a very large charity shop next to a very large TK Maxx (because I’m house sitting outside London and bigger shops with room to walk around sounds fantastic), the way there was absolutely nothing. Like, not a damn thing worthy of that walk.

Watching the Traitors US and two thoughts: the Traitors never are the last to enter the breakfast room so never seem to have the possibility of being murdered so that should be a signal for the faithfuls, and also the amount of berets worn is astounding.

Sometimes you watch a movie and you really can see all the budget was used in a really spectacular manner. Watching Conclave and that 20 million dollar budget is on display the entire film. Fantastic.

A couple tried to chat me up at the pub tonight, and it was so bad it instantly sobered me up.

Jonathan Bailey’s vintage tees worn during the #Wicked press tour have me reminiscing about the many styles of #WizardofOz graphic T-shirts produced by Stanley Desantis throughout the 1990s #fashionhistory

Odd bit of ephemera added to my collection today: a Bill Gibb hanger, perfect for my 80s produced cardigan. #fashionhistory

Thinking about how I recommended Fellow Travelers to a friend of mine when I meant to recommend All of Us Strangers, and how I accidentally made my straight friend watch some of the horniest #queerfilms of recent history.
