OPEN POST: For the Love of Boa

By
Aretha Franklin

Today's post is a love letter to a beloved, timeless accessory: the boa. Dating back to at least the early 1800s, this fashion favorite was named after the snake of which it resembles. My current regret in life is having never experienced the eleganza of wearing one of these beauties, so on the bucket list this year it goes. If you happen to see me strolling down the avenue and the fashion is just too much for you, you'll just have to excuse my beauty!

Can you hear this painting like I can? Hone in on a conversation; what are they discussing? There's music playing; what does it sound like? There's an aroma in the air; what does it smell like? Who is your favorite guest? What's their name? What are they wearing? The little girl at the top of the stairs - what does she think of it all? Who are her parents? How long has she been there? Why is she there? How long until she's discovered and sent back to bed? Decades have passed; does she remember this night still? BTW, looking for Peckerwood's Weekly Lunocracy Post?

  Here we are: the shortest day of the year, the longest night. Nature is slowly but surely continuing its cycle of rebirth and we will see brighter days ahead. It's the perfect time to reflect on the past year and consider what kind of light you'd like to bring into your life. A time of hope and renewal. I wish you all a happy Solstice!
