A thousand kisses (from a vampire)

Give me a thousand kisses, then a hundred.

Then, another thousand, and a second hundred.

Then, yet another thousand, and a hundred.

Then, when we have counted up many thousands,

Let us shake the abacus, so that no one may know the number,

And become jealous when they see

How many kisses we have shared.

-Catullus, poem 5

Thanks for this picture goes to Susan, this picture is from her vintage post card collection.

Nat King Cole, Besame Mucho (not the usual depressive version)

Thierry Mugler, simply amazing

I see the past, the future, cabaret, circus, sci-fi, romance, femininity, power, erotica, amazing imagination and hours and hours of work. Marvelous and inspiring.

The Smiling Victorian, a happy couple
