Happy Almost-Friday and happy International Sweatpants Day! It’s also Christian Dior’s birthday. What fragrance are you wearing?
The Robber Bridegroom is a gruesome tale from the Brothers Grimm, and Eudora Welty took its bones, moved the scene to Mississippi, and added several non-politically-correct elements for her novella of the same name. I’m wearing Diptyque Oyedo for the main character, who is sent to fetch herbs by her evil step-mother, thus setting the action in motion.
Reminder: 1/22 will be Fairy Tale Friday…
