I was trying to make sure

Which speaks volumes for your mindfulness of lifefiction's mobility issues, which is totally not a bad thing. Though I understand how missing the opportunity to meet more of the cast is disappointing.

Did you at least get a chance to interact with the cast once they'd gone out on the pavement?

[elrhiarhodan]

No...the Paley staff were hustling the cast out and to their cars pretty quickly. Marsha did try to stay and I've got some lovely pictures of her. I'm having trouble getting the rest of them uploaded, but hopefully by tomorrow night.

I still have my writeup to finish (lunchtime tomorrow) and I need to get a fic posted now. And so it goes.

BTW - I adore your Pre-Raph userpics.

Yes, the Paley staff (and the NBC/Universal/USA staff as well, I assume) did get them out rather fast. I was hovering around the edge of the crowd, so I saw them as they passed by (and paused for some photographs and signatures), but didn't want to ruffle any feathers by wading in myself.

But Marsha! *happy sigh*

And thanks! Boreas is one of my favourite paintings, and my favourite Waterhouse. I didn't do anything fancy to make it--just cropped and resized the highest-resolution copy that I could find. The Pre-Raphaelites = ♥.

About 7 years ago, I was in London on business and had a day to myself. I spent most of it in the Royal Academy of Arts which was hosting an exhibit of Sir Andrew Lloyd Webber's collection of Pre-Raph art and artifacts.

It was incredible and almost too much to take in. The Rosetti and the Burne-Jones and the Waterhouse nearly brought me to my knees. What always amazes me about the Pre-Raphaelites is how strong the women are depicted - such an antithesis of the horrendous Victorian genre painting fashionable at that time.

AND THIS IS WHY I LOVE MY FLIST...I meet someone on a Monday...and by Thursday, we're discussing art.

Gah.

ZOMG. You saw the Lloyd Webber exhibition? I remember reading about that at the time! I was very sorry not to be able to make it. Augh, but it must have been amazing. I'm envious! But so glad that you were able to go!

Burne-Jones <3!

At times I question somewhat the idealisation of physical beauty in the female 'stunner', but then I look again at the strength of those women's features and the size and dominance of their forms within their respective compositions, and I'm thrilled all over again.

And now I want to drag out all of the available books and articles on the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood to re-read!

Did you get to the Burne-Jones exhibition at the Met in '98? It was incredible, too. They had some of the tapestries and all of the major works.

bzuhbuhhuh *redundant keyboard smash* NO. Ngah!

(I kind of fail as a Pre-Raphaelite fan, y/y?)

If I had a time machine--!

I have the Exhibition catalog, and if you would ever like to borrow it (and the Farscape DVDs for S1 and S2), all you have to do is ask.

[redjeweled.livejournal.com]

Thank you so much for offering! I confess that I've just done a mad thing, however, and have purchased a used copy of the catalogue online. Sans dust jacket, alas, but otherwise in good condition. Also, affordable. (Whee!)

I'm sorted for Farscape through a close friend, but thanks also for offering to loan that as well!

[elrhiarhodan]

My pleasure...

The catalog is fantastic...you'll definitely enjoy it.
