Every linen wrapped so tight that it's probably forbidden

A handful of links from the day.

1. Kino Lorber is coming out with a special edition Blu-Ray/DVD of Allan Arkush's Get Crazy (1983) in December. I have no doubt I will enjoy the special features, but I am looking forward just to the restoration. I still hope someday to see this movie in its natural habitat of a big screen for New Year's.

2. Greil Marcus, "Tied to History." On personal memory, communal memory, and secret history in the family. It was published in 2008. I found it looking for information on Halsey's Typhoon.

3. I don't know what the fish are doing on this waistcoat, but I'd wear it. It's terrible how many museum heists I want to plan these days.

spatch captured this picture of me with a very sincere kitten.

Can’t recall if I’ve shown you this waistcoat from one of Vincent Briggs’ blogs: https://vincentbriggs.blogspot.com/2018/10/embroidered-monster-waistcoat.html

2. Greil Marcus, "Tied to History."

Oh, wow!

I may have to link that waistcoat to my friend the seamstress.

And there's something about that angle that makes you ageless.

Aww, kitty!

That is a great waistcoat.

Now me, I don't so much want to wear the waistcoat, as to see it close up.

Is it embroidered or brocaded? What techniques were used?

I'm only just discovering how brocading works - Essentially, it looks like embroidery in many ways, but is don't during the weaving process.

Aww, such a handsome house panther.

unrelated to the contents of this post, I think you need to see this if you have not seen it already. https://wintersoldierfell.tumblr.com/post/665458272834338816/bogarted-you-reach-back-clear-to-east-st
