So you'll have something to look at while I work myself up to original content:

A L'allure Garconniere tumblr - some posts NSFW but all are awesome. Favorite: Romaine Brooks self-portrait; link to "Queer Enough": "My woman- self is a lusty warrior. Grace Jones in a James Bond film, power-lifting a full-grown man over her head in haute couture and heels. French novelist, burlesque dancer and body builder Colette, dressed in a 19th century men’s suit."

Apochronaut (FYI, music upon opening), "travel & fashion for the pre/post-apocalyptic nomad". Favorites: Anything by Gareth Pugh.

G. D. Falksen's tumblr fashion posts, hat tip danabren, almost as good as OMGThatDress.

In honor of the Kalamazoo Medieval Congress just past, Terry Jones' Medieval Lives in their entirety [YouTube]. Actually, just all of BBC Worldwide's channel.

LOVE "Terry Jones' Medieval Lives" (both the shows and the book)

In addition to being a very funny man he's a damn fine medievalist.

And communicates his knowledge well and memorably. :-)

I've noticed that a lot of people tend to forget that the funny folk known as the "Oxbridge Mafia" all have degrees and specialities that have little to do with comedy, and then are astonished when those funny folk go back to that first beloved interest. Love it m'self when they get the chance to show off their more-than-a-comedian skills.

That lack of awareness of British comedians' other talents might be in part because "showbiz" seems to work so differently Stateside. It seems here that no matter their background, once an actor is famous for acting their other talents aren't explored much, at least publicly. I can't imagine, say, Leonard Nimoy getting to do a TV show about photography.

HT?

HT = "hat tip", as in, giving you credit for finding that link. Sorry - I use abbreviations sometimes when I get lazy :P
