caps
New Market is always a treasure trove, and not just the Hogg's Market building. Every shop on the street is brilliant, and pretty much every huy with a bundle of scarves/ties. The ties, man.
The trick is to walk the stretch from a little past New Market to the Indian Museum, eyes peeled for anything interesting. I bought a narrow, black tie for Rs. 50, and a wide navy, spotted tie for a little less, about six months ago. Day I bought the black tie I stumbled almost literally into a shop that sold caps, pretty much every kind you can think of, bought a dark brown corduroy golf cap for Rs. 60.
I have to go to New Market before I leave, dammit.
Since I'm too lazy to take and upload a photograph, the cap looks rather like this, except for the pink:

Eleanora di Toledo
about whom I know absolutely nothing except she married Cosimo I de'Medici and was Duchess of Florence.
Chosen entirely because I lust after her dress. Which she was clearly fond of.
I mean, clearly.

A return
to the Victorian era, which I don't particularly like as far as mainstream literature goes (except the Brontes, and it's arguable how mainstream they were), but which is really rather pretty.

Prospero's Hat
could double as the Blue Umbrella. Couldn't find the courtiers, more's the pity.
Instead, have more Prospero.

Mary Queen of Scots
Is it unfair to tag this as Tudor? Ahwell. I love the colour of her gown, but we're aware of my purple fetish, no? And the lace on her sleeves.

Race and Lust
being how Nundy-san misread the title of the blog, (and seeing how we are easily amused), we present a picture (wacked off Wiki, where else) of some very well-dressed New Orleans women out on a walk.

this poster
would love one of these, but hasn't the money for it. (or the figure, but what are corsets for?) and so will simply look, and wistfully sigh.
