Anonymous asked: While you are certainly entitled to your opinion and I don't mean to be rude or anything, I don't think anyone is entitled to what others do with a post after they reblog it and put it on their blog. obviously I don't mean stealing or not giving credit, but I don't think someone should have to keep an opinion or a date they don't care about on a blog that they do care...

HEY SO I MADE A THING

hpotterheadforlife: and i would really appreciate it if you could check it out. As you know i really like old things, and I collect photographs. Well I found a site where I can post them and people can like them (basically a pinterest for vintage things) and follow and yea

I hate when people reblog stuff from me and erase the commentary. When you are doing that not only are you literally erasing the OP’s message, but you are likely changing the tone of the whole post. The only exceptions to this are on my picture posts. On those you can delete anything underneath the source, but do not change or erase the sourse. I put it in a hyperlink like this, [X]. ...

The Great Gatsby

myyearinliterature: I just read a review of Baz Luhrmann’s movie that said the characters of Daisy and Gatsby did not come across as star-crossed lovers but instead as a man with grand delusions and a woman with more in common with a porcelain figurine than a human being. I have just finished the book (loved it) and I came to a similar conclusion about Gatsby - that he has built this delusion...

In 1913 The Salamander by Owen Johnson came out. This was the book to read, it spawned a wildly successful play and movie. And it was Zelda Sayre’s favorite book. The Salamander was the first instance of a flapper in a novel. The protagonist was Dore Baxter a woman who thought the only reason for marriage was for money. She called men props Dore balanced a dozen men on a string so that she...

itsbeautifulactually asked: Have you read this new book "Call me Zelda" by Erika Robuck? If yes, what do you think of it and if not do you plan to do so?

miguellikescoffee replied to your link: Was the Great Gatsby Broke? And Zelda helped :) That she did. But to be far she did portion out what she wanted to buy if enough people bought Scott’s books. Everyone must buy this book for the following aesthetic reasons; first because I know where there is the cutest cloth-of-gold dress for only three hundred dollars…and also, if enough...

wordsfrozen asked: OMG, thank you so much for all your posts! They are rare and beautiful! I'm really in love with everything here. Thanks! xoxo

Was the Great Gatsby Broke? →

So I pulled every nugget from The Great Gatsby related to Gatsby’s personal wealth and income, and every passage that detailed his spending, and — with the help of some experts — tried to re-create a historical ledger that might have shown the state of Jay Gatsby’s fortune, if he had been a real person and not a figment of F. Scott Fitzgerald’s imagination. It turns out that,...

“You know, Scott liked people to be accessible and easy. He could be, for...”

– Gerald Murphy as quoted in “Zelda”, p 123 (via hereidreamtiwasablogger2)

“You didn’t care: So I went on and on- dancing alone, and, no matter what...”

– Zelda Fitzgerald (letter to Scott Fitzgerald)

I have The Great Gatsby blacklisted and the entire F Scott Fitzgerald tag is gone. Guess that means it is time to go to sleep.

grungecest: zelda fitzgerald was in a sanitarium that caught on fire and she got out fine but then she ran back in to get her shoes and that’s how she died Actually Zelda was asleep while the fire raged on. She died in her sleep from smoke inhalation. Zelda was on the top floor in a locked room. The fire spread too quickly for her to have escaped even if she had been awake.

anthonyblanche: Daisy Buchanan is not Zelda Fitzgerald Daisy Buchanan is not Zelda Fitzgerald Daisy Buchanan is not Zelda Fitzgerald Daisy Buchanan is not Zelda Fitzgerald Daisy Buchanan is not Zelda Fitzgerald Daisy Buchanan is not Zelda Fitzgerald (Daisy Buchanan is not Zelda Fitzgerald.) Daisy is thought to have been based on Ginerva King who was Scott’s first love.

Just to let everyone know that I will not be watching The Great Gatsby (unless someone buys me tickets). I will probably post some reviews from other sites. But we’re trying to save money (and I don’t particularly like Tobey Maguire). So no questions about what I think about the movie please.

Jay Gatsby was black: an explanation

aterribleidea: stevebuscreaming: So let me explain this theory for those of you who haven’t heard it before already. The Great Gatsby is a story of a man that makes his fortune bootlegging and throws countless magnificent parties all in hopes of attracting the attention of his old flame Daisy. But it’s really a story about insurmountable class barriers. Daisy will never be with Gatsby, no...

at least according to Hem

gleefullyunrepentantnerd: ain’t no party like a Fitzgerald party because a Fitzgerald party don’t end until Scott and Zelda pass out drunk after two drinks apiece and everyone leaves in a huff Two drinks apiece? They could drink a bathtub each of gin. Always take what Hemingway says with a mountain of salt, because he was a jealous hater (who re-wrote his first meeting with Zelda because she...

TV show recommendation time! Call The Midwife is set in East London in the 1950s. It is about midwives who work out of a convent and service the poor. It is a beautiful show about the strengths of these women who endure having child after child in appalling conditions (these were very poor women who had no way of getting birth control) and the women who went out and helped them. I can’t say...
