Hello my little Lilliputs.

Today's theme is fictional species from classic literature.

The last time I wrote, the new year had just started and I talked about not making as many bad mistakes. That hasn't gone too well, but not nearly as badly as it could be going. The real reason I'm writing to you big, burly Brobdingnags is I wanted post the ( Read more... )

I WISH I was literary enough to make a reference as such... but *shhhh*

Why YES! The yellow wallpaper is inDEED a reference to The Yellow Wallpaper by Charlotte Perkins Gilman!

Also, I sent you an old version of the poster by mistake. "Francess ann" is both misspelled and miscapitalized.

PS: I appreciate the H.G. Wells reference.

I was wondering about that. If you'd like to send me a version with the correct spelling I'd be happy to post it. Also, thanks for the link!

Hey Becca! It would be awesome if you could come, but I know a lot of people can't. I'll definitely be in the thick of conference work when you get here, but that doesn't mean we can't hang out. See you soon!

I wonder if they all come out of that wall-paper as I did? moneypenny April 19 2007, 18:03:02 UTC

Thanks, doll. The poster is truly amazing. Also, The Yellow Wallpaper reference may be intentional, eh? Is Lenore's story actually one of a woman who is going crazy from denial of sexual release?

Gabe, the guy who designed the poster, later informed me that the wallpaper was in fact an intentional reference to Gilman's story. It's pretty appropriate, too. In life, Lenore was all but ignored by her workaholic husband. In death, she has a whole song about how bad she wants to bang him, but she can't 'cause she's a ghost.

So sad.
