I really love her on this series, though, and it has really grown into a can't-miss.

It seems that women no eating much was a sort of fad during the Victorian era, and claiming to live on air alone was quite a respectable feat. This was, of course, associated with the notion that women were more otherworldly, idealized creatures than flesh and blood. Makes me crave a big dish of pasta. ;)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08844647108522152502noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7858025146615227317.post-13825603793259606382014-08-12T15:44:33.196-07:002014-08-12T15:44:33.196-07:00Thanks, Collette!
