New bling. Thought it was fitting as well as being literary-adjacent.

Image of a pretty diamante butterfly brooch on a teal-coloured card, from Pop Up Studio. The butterfly is pink and green, and has a banner across it which reads 'What fresh hell is this?', a quote attributed to Dorothy Parker, who would quip, 'What fresh hell can this be?' if her doorbell rang. (And doubtless at other times, too).
