Apparel with attitude. Literature with a rebellious streak. 💀🏍️

Something wicked this way rides… Meet Will’s Motorcycle Club, our Shakespeare-inspired skull hoodie.

A late 19th-century Bonfire Night gown. 🔥 Look closely at the hem for red bursts and sparkles representing fireworks! Victorians celebrated with bonfires and fireworks too. An annual thanksgiving for the Gunpowder Plot’s failure was required by law until 1859.

Remember, remember the fifth of November… 🔥

In 1605, a medal was struck in Holland to commemorate the discovery of the Gunpowder Plot.

400+ years later, its serpent and flowers inspired my Shakespeare Coin Tee.

A little history. A little treachery. A little Shakespeare. 🖤

The most seductive thing these Italian actors do is stand still.

Under Ludovica Rambelli’s direction, they recreate Caravaggio’s paintings with their bodies, draped cloth, everyday objects and a single cut of light.

They build each scene before the audience, hold it, then dismantle it to become another.

Think about the physical discipline that demands. Supporting another person’s weight. Holding an awkward angle. Keeping a face suspended in grief while your muscles strain.

That tension gives the paintings a disturbing intimacy.

Who said the dark can’t be pretty? 🖤

Pretty Dark. Pretty Familiar. Pretty Christmassy.
For lovers of skulls, cats and a little festive darkness. 💀🐈‍⬛🎄
Which kind of pretty are you?

@CavanOnChain Would that still be coffee though? Or something to take the edge off the caffeine from the morning? 😂

[CapturedCurios @Captured_Curios]

Which mood are you? ☕
Coffee before conversation, liquid lunch, or a bedtime beverage?

Three mugs, each with a little art history and a knowing look.
One mug, two sides.
