If I could crawl into this book with a pair of slingbacks and a magnum of champagne, I probably would.

you’re so art deco. nee echt top maar ik vraag me altijd af bij kunstgeschiedenisboeken hoe ze zo definitief kunnen stellen dat iets uniform was voor die tijd en plaats? zo van ik kan me niet voorstellen dat er niet (een toendertijd equivalent van) retro-hippies-classici-renaissance-fair-nerds rondliepen toen
