'Deeply heartbreaking and soaringly uplifting, reminding us to live fully and always to progress. It leaves you panting, exhausted but grateful for every gulp of air and determined to make them count' @Gabrielwilding1

@coryannes Yes QUEEEEN!

[Issy VB @issyvb]

@NastazjaDom This year is SO sparse on work.
I’ve had nothing since mid-feb and suddenly everything came in all at once, crossing fingers some good stuff comes in for you soon ❤️

[Issy VB @issyvb]

@jsavournin @WiltonMusicHall @charlescourt @davideatonmusic @aaronjdoots Gorgeous!

[Issy VB @issyvb]

And get this for a fun fact! Baby Bob Mackie!!

[Sarah McGonagall @gothspiderbitch]

Fun fact: the twin suits and Judy’s “Liza” gown were some of Bob Mackie’s earliest designs. His first job on TV was as a costume assistant on Judy’s show, where his work would be worn onscreen for the first time— launching his historic career designing for Carol Burnett and Cher.

[Issy VB @issyvb]

This has brought me so much joy to watch this evening!

[Sarah McGonagall @gothspiderbitch]

Cannot stress enough how mindbogglingly insane it is that Liza started her career like THIS and then was able to carve out a career so iconic in her own right that most people nowadays don’t even know that she and Judy are even related, let alone the loves of each other’s lives.

@MarkRavenhill2 Happy Birthday Mark!

[Issy VB @issyvb]

@jsavournin Oh this is so beautiful. What an incredible piece of music

@LikeTheMonth_ … get printed on the first journey you take & then just keep it safe.
The Charles bridge up to the castle is a lovely walk or the 22 tram up
If you’re a meat eater U Modre Kachniki (the blue duckling- there’s restaurant 1&2) specialise in czech duck dishes…

@LikeTheMonth_ My favourite city!
Prague castle is gorgeous if weather is warm- beautiful gardens. Quite good to do a walking tour to get your bearings
Wenceslas square is incredible
The city is very walkable- you can get a 24hr/or 3 day train ticket from ‘tabac’ shops near stations which you..
