Les demoiselles de Rochefort / The Young Girls of Rochefort | 1967

Director: Jacques Demy

Production designer: Bernard Evein / Set decorator: Louis Seuret

So I'm at the Brooklyn Museum and enjoying this extremely homoerotic sculpture Fallen Angels (1893) the other day.

There's so much going on in this sexy tangle. How can you tell they are fallen, you ask?

Snakes in their hair.

At first I'm all, woah, why don't they all have wings like our finger-biting friend in the first photo?

But they do. The women have BAT WINGS like sexy little vampire succubi. Look at how her wing is folded under her back.

But what I love most about this is how the artist, Salvatore Albano, is literally sculpting the pulsing veins on our top angel's hip. And our finger-biting bottom's wing primary feathers are literally caressing the top's crotch.

I used to work in museums and this is among the horniest artworks I've ever seen. While past me would have been asking all the real questions like: Who was this made for? Where was it displayed? Why the weird gender differences with the wings?

Present me just wants to figure out how to put this sculpture in a gay romance story. My queer old heart will not accept less. 🤭

Preparing for spooky season with some Darkplace and gotta say, this is not the worst writing advice.

Some good sex scene writing tips in here!

hey, i'm sorry to hear you have covid. i hope you feel better soon! here are some music asks for you. take good care ✨🌹

16. Do you choose particular albums depending on the mood?

19. A song you like with a color in the title?

20. A song you like with a number in the title?

21. A song that needs to play loud?

Thank you for the asks! It's been a fun way to spend covid Sunday, and I love reading everyone's responses to their ask box too. 💖

16. Yes to picking albums based on the mood! I don't know if anyone else here ever read Phonogram by Kieron Gillen and Jamie McKelvie, but it's an amazing comic about how music is magic and I 100% agree with that. (Kieron is a writer/dj and posts his writing playlists on Spotify and I cannot recommend them highly enough!)

I love album listening, and got a turntable a few years back because it keeps me from diving into other tracks like I do on Spotify (and sounds better!) I love a playlist, but albums are how I really get to know an artist, and figure out how to use their magic to help me feel my way through (or around) any mood. Message me a mood and I will send you an album. 😁

19. There so many! I picked red last time, so let's go with green. My queer heart loves Arlo Parks:

20. I picked a Lucinda Williams 2 Kool to Be 4-gotten last time, so my heart only has one other obvious choice: Alex and Miles, shyly gazing at each other on stage, playing 505. Like my heart can barely handle them.

21. Please turn up the volume for JOE STRUMMER & THE MESCALEROS! Do I play this when I'm mad about work? hells yes. 💥

Title: Material Memories

Summary: The rediscovery of an old outfit gives Alex the opportunity to restore his relationship with Miles.

Inspired by Alex wearing that tracksuit again. My first ever attempt at angst. See how many EYCTE outfits you can spot! Kudos and comments much appreciated if you do give it a read 🥰

Looks like another of Alex Turner's costumes touring during The Car Era.

Dressing as Alain Delon playing the Talented Mr. Tom Ripley is an apt choice:
