Discreet gay encounters grantham
The Downton Abbey of seasons past is back, warts and all. Last nighttime viewers were treated to a minute episode of pure Downton Abbey-isms, with Violet spewing her wisdom left and right, ethics development galore, only an occasional plot twist that stretched the story line into unbelievable territory, Tom Branson as super hero, and even a glimmer of passion tween the sheets twixt Mary and Matthew. So lets dive in, shall we?
All stoop down and hail Batess release from prison!
Thank you Julian Fellowes for putting an end to our misery. I had reached a point where I didnt care if Bates rotted in prison for the rest of his life. This week we were treated to Bates and his Anna sitting side by side, walking side by side, and painting side by side. Their tepid kisses told me that they should stop taking lessons from Mary and Matthew and embark on another steamy honeymoon night.
Ethel and her miasmic scarlet letter washed clean
Its becoming clear to Violet that: Ethel is notorious in the village.
I dont think so, replies Isobel, who will counter her nemesis any time, any where, even at the price of being incorrect. Violet always has the upper hand: “I comprehend

SARA-MAE: Previously on Heyer Today.
ALISON: I understand everyone else says that Heyer is greatly influenced by Austen, but I think shes more influenced by Shakespeare. And, I mean, if you just think of ‘Much Ado’, there is a robust female character, right there arent they?
JANE: I dont know that Im that influenced by Heyer overtly, but probably at a subliminal level, Im influenced as a reader. You know, Im always looking for that experience, I suppose. Probably the Label I’s [are] my preferred experience.
ALISON: Theres only one person who could possess played Avon. Hes not with us any more. So, you see him walking along; hes got high red heels and silk and lace… jewels. Theres only one person and that person is David Bowie.
SARA-MAE: Welcome to our third Heyer Today book club session. This week we’ll be exploring one of my favourite Heyer novels and I’m so excited about it.
Yes, darlings, it’s ‘Faro’s Daughter’. And my dear companion Geraldine Minuk-Elliot will be chatting to me all the way from Vancouver, Canada.
She, like all our converts, is First, lets just get this out of the way: this show is awful. Bad writing and a terrible plot have conspired to ruin what, during the first season anyway, was once a beacon of televised goodness across a crowded wasteland. But as every season brings new awfulness and Ive lowered my expectations, Ive learned to enjoy the Downton Abbey we possess, not the one we want. And watching it is (slightly) less guilt-inducing than watching any of the Real Housewives, though many of the elements are the same: attractive vacant-eyed people throwing their money around in between arguments at dinnertime, unlikely love affairs and random stints in prison. But I do want to say that in spite of the atrociousness of DA: at least the actors are holding up their end of the bargain by trying to take this stuff seriously, so thats worth something. And in the soul of full disclosure: I plan on watching this thing until the demonstrate breathes its last, miserable gasp. Which might unfold at any time, if the story lines are any indication. The Characters: Carson: We dont want to perceive about Alice anymore, unless it turns out shes NOT dead and living in Yorkshire and ready to love agai By: Alix Cohen I saw a Marvelous Movie September 23, Sir Noël Peirce Coward ( –) was an extraordinarily multifaceted talent, excelling as actor, director, vocalist (Frank Sinatra said, “If you want to hear how a song should be sung, go see Mr. Noël Coward”), songwriter (he could neither write nor read music), and playwright. Not only was he jack of all these trades but, despite occasional failures, their master. The artist was equally good known, in some circles more well known, for wit, brio, sophistication and personal design. He was arguably a charming painter, indisputably a patriot, and discreetly gay. Mad About the Boy, opening in theaters October 11, is an entertaining, illuminating, cohesive, and moving portrait of a autodidact who invented himself. Whether a diehard fan or curious to see what the fuss is all about, the film may leave you a bit in devote. Coward’s crisp crust might’ve been gilded, but his heart was tender. Noël Coward was born poor to an adoring mother and mostly absentee father. “I was trained very adolescent as a showoff. I’ve continued triumphantly till this moment,” he told one interviewer.
