This Galerie des Modes project is making me so happy. So happy that it actually kind of unnerves me. But it combines my two loves, fashion history research and translation - translation is awesome because it's a game, you win it when the sentence makes sense, and my French->English is better than my English->French (although there are still places when I'm confused, and I keep having revelations and having to go back to retranslate bits from earlier sections) - and the fashion history research is fantastic because I've never seen anyone do anything with these descriptive pages and I feel like I'm learning everything. (Except that the colored plates aren't always done quite accurately to the descriptions ...)

Things making me happiest: figuring out that "perfect contentment" means a ribbon tied in a bow for some unknown reason; seeing the word "rétroussée" all over the place.

I'm still rewatching Eleven on Netflix. I really like the individual episode plots of Moffat's Who, but the arc stuff tends to get away from me when not seen all at once, so it makes everything clear to just go through it without a week of waiting between each episode. Of course, what strikes me most is how hot Amy, River, and Rory all look in 1960s clothes.

Patterning trip tomorrow! :DDD
