#visual wodehouse
I just got an invitation through the mails:
“Your presence requested this evening, it’s formal
Atop hat, a white tie and tails”
Nothing now could take the wind out of my sails
Because I’m invited to step out this eveningOr, Bertie Wooster in fancy dress attire (and spats!) ♥ Mental image courtesy of @ohrather (go see her Pillowfort, people, it’s full of Joosterish softness ^^)
*sigh* I have no idea why it looks blurry. Click on the image to make it non-blurry, I guess. Dammit, Tumblr…
This is delicious! Why didn’t I see this before?
Look at this lovely Bertie!

Some assorted Wooster-relevant images:
1) Lester DePester and Betty from C. A. Voight’s comic strip, Betty. Bertie compares Gussie Finknottle to Mr. DePester in The Mating Season.
2) Jessie Matthews, who may have been Wodehouse’s visual reference for Stiffy Byng.
3) Gertrude Lawrence, one of the inspirations for Cora “Corky” Pirbright.
4) Jack Buchanan getting his trousers ogled. Not directly relevant, but it embodies the Wooster spirit.
