Subject: stay-puffed marshmallow man outfit

While thumbing through my daughter's high school history text, I happened on
a portrait of George Villiers, duke of Buckingham.  His outfit looked familiar:
strip away the cloak and various ribbons and medals and decorative chains, and
there was Nick's wedding outfit!  I understand that costume was rented from the
Stratford Festival.  Was it originally intended as a Duke of Buckingham suit
in a Shakespeare play?

Perhaps a tan (as opposed to pigment one is born with) counts as "damage,"
and is therefore "healed" when one comes across, like the lesions caused by
leprosy.

I think the paleness comes not so much from lack of pigment as from the
sluggish circulation. With a heartbeat only every 10 minutes or so, FK
vamps' blood may not get into the capillaries much.

I vaguely recall Ger saying that it was one of his costumes at
Stratford, but I don't know which play it would have been. Ger did play
Buckingham in Henry VIII, but that was at the Chichester Festival in the
UK in 1991.

Saw somebody volunteer to be a beta on here, lost the email though...

Anyway, if you're still interested, and have the hankering for a
Tracy/Miklos 14 part R rated lovefest, well just give me a holler  :)

It couldn't have been because Villiers, a favorite of James I (VI of Scotland)
was a contemporary of Shakespeare and not represented in his plays, just as the
king wasn't. However, that portrait does look like the costume, is the right
period and could well have been the designer's model.

Subject: challenge

There are a few challenges which I have had in mind for a while
for the fiction list and I have decided to start posting them
now, one at a time.
I confess, I won't be sending the first response to these
challenges, due partly to a learning disability which, among
other things, prevents anything I write from being finished in
anything resembling a timely manner.
This first challenge comes out of a book of creative writing
exercises. The assignment was to write a story whose first five
words are "Where were you last night"
This is your challenge, if you choose to accept it.
Also, write and tell me if you want to hear some of my other
challenge ideas.
