Glamorous adventurer author Richard Halliburton, who crossed the Alps on an elephant, swam the Hellespont, and live live lived! Including (ta Paris Police Achives) soliciting in the rue Saint-Lazare, offering "sucking to passers-by". Carpe diem by jingo! paw.princeton.edu/article/trail-…
Fab night @SHCentre #spalden #lincolnshire -lots of people had their photos taken in front of #themakingsofamurderer backdrop including the amazing front of house staff who made sure we were all looked after tonight. Great photos of you both with me THANKS #truecrime #murders…
“Dream Factory”, the short film I acted in recently, has its first screening @RoundhouseLDN 8th June. I can’t be there because of touring, but having seen the finished edit, director Alex Matraxia (pictured right) and the team have done an amazing job. Photos: Adam Pietraszewski.
Further to yesterday, here's the 1895 ball photo with Lord Battersea's procurer – Arthur Thorold. He's at the top centre: self-assured, cocky, cigarette poised, quite Wildean. What an incredible life lay ahead: one that would end on a suicidal ride into infinity. More tomorrow.
At The Door (detail): a 1907 study by Eugene Jansson (see previous posts) of his favourite sailor model Knut Nyam. It comes to auction with a 25-35 thousand euro estimate on the first of June at Bonhams, Paris. Just the thing to fill in a gap. bonhams.com/auction/28127/
Everyone's fave popular novelist and self-inventing lesbian, Marie Corelli. In 1908, in an article Thieves Of Honour, she attacked the British Government and King Edward VII for their suppression of the Irish Crown Jewels theft due to high names and homosexuality. You go girl!
Sir Gyles Isham, 12th baronet & gay scholar squire of the equally dreamy Lamport Hall. A golden blond youth of 1920s Oxford & actor (including opposite Garbo), he served in the 8th Army, & MI5/MI6. For Cecil Beaton his Hamlet offered "the most beautiful back view I'd ever seen".
Critic Hannen Swaffer, born 1879, struggles like others to make sense of the tsunami of change in 1925. (Although Wandsworth has always been a bottomless sink of moral depravity.)
A curiosity of modern life is that, like Marilyn, after your demise you may be re-envisioned in a way you never dreamt. Lord Beauchamp's problematic boyfriend George Roberts (died 1970: see our Vol II), is now retailed via someone's linocut on crafting website Etsy!! Bless.
It’s livening up @Playhouse_WB #whitleybay - great to see the #truecrime northern girls fan team who go to @crimecon_uk every year here to see #themakingsofamurderer @MakingsOfMRDR which starts soon.
This couple checked in to the Metropole Margate 16 Oct 1929. Only one checked out. He was hanged. #sidneyfoxscrime comes to Margate in June. @margatemuseums for tkts. @kentlivewhatson @margatemercury @IamCliftonville @BBCRadioKent @Thanet @bbcsoutheast @MandTweets @MargateBookie
🧐 This strange vertical black line spotted in the Kent sky has left both residents and experts baffled!
This Saturday, global podcasters and Margate residents @RussellTovey and @RobertDiament will be holding a special book signing event at @TCMargate 1/4
1903: when the mere after-lights-out fumblings of upper class schoolboys could make headlines. However in the wake of the Wilde trials, the turn of the century witnessed new concern over amatory unorthodoxy. England needed red-blooded Empire builders – not Continental fancy men!
The past is another country. Illustrator Ernest Prater's amusing image of 1909 was used by Fry's chocolate on cards and in advertisements. While most would have read it innocently, its ambiguous flirting must have given many chaps a knowing laugh, as it was surely intended to.
Look what’s coming to Margate in June! @kentlivewhatson @margatemercury @MargateIs @IAmCliftonville @BBCRadioKent @bbcsoutheast @ramsgatearts @ThanetExtra @Thanet @TomThumbTheatre @MargateBookie @boteproductions @LewisAllcock theisleofthanetnews.com/2023/04/28/tag…
