#bright young things
Finally watched Stephen Fry and Evelyn Waugh’s Bright Young Things. I wasn’t expecting such strong flashbacks to my own childhood in the Disco Era, but we also had a world that had undergone drastic social upheaval followed by an economic crisis, beautiful social butterflies who didn’t quite know what to do with themselves, and traumatized older veterans who spent their time being furious at the youths instead of dealing with their own problems. And then that “Saved By the War” ending – well, I suppose it was historically accurate and an improvement on Waugh’s original. Early to mid 20th Century literature was all too often dunked in nihilism, and washing some of that off can’t hurt.
“Put it on and nobody will see your tears.”
A fashionably winterly Miles in Leyendecker’s style for the holiday season. Hope everyone’s having a nice time with plenty of food and wine <3
