Well, we are back with a new challenge, a bit later than intended! The challenge this time is the mini series "Clarissa" based on the book by Samuel Richardson. He was a popular writer of the 18th century ( Read more... )

You cannot imagine my surprise and glee at seeing not only a post from you but a post in this comm! :-D And an 18th century challenge to boot, mwahaha! ;-D

If you think it is shocking I dare not attempt to watch it, LOL! Still, the pictures are pretty, and that pink and green stripey gown reminds me quite forcibly of some surviving museum examples.

:D I didn't want to let the community fall by the wayside. :) I do love having opened up the community to the entire Georgian period a lot more liberating. I really loved the costumes of the entire era :D

Clarissa is shocking in a way that is not meant to titillate like some dramas. Lovelace forces himself on Clarissa, but the entire scene is horrifying. Hopefully not too many people are reading my reply if they have not already seen it, lol.

My sentiments exactly! I love the Regency, but the Georgian era, ahh...;-D

Clarissa is not unlike Tess of the D'Urbervilles, correct? I just watched the Justine Waddell version a few weeks back. Talk about depressing, LOL!
