Paris Today, Tomorrow the World!

*hustling to post!* C'est magnifique, genteensybang!

What can I say about brutti_ma_buoni that hasn't already been said? She's a fantastic writer and the nicest person ever, and her kindness and imagination are unparallelled. The atmosphere and characterizations in this fic are reminiscent of 'Cabaret' with shades of 'Moulin Rouge' but ALL BMB. ♥ Romantic, gently ominous,

Gen looks so pretty! And that poster is very French! I love the colours. And Jared looks so cute!

[quickreaver]

Thank ya! I looooved the colors. My fave part, I think. :)

WOW! I LOVE THAT PAINTING :D The colors, the textures - you really captured the vibe and setting ♥

[quickreaver]

Catching the setting was really important to me. AND FUN! (I'm such a forger...)

*draws breath to splurge feelings all over again*

So, I think I've so far complimented the font, the colouring, the aging techniques, the amazing clothes for both of them, how seductive Gen is, how green and sweet Jared is, the period feel of everything... what did I miss?

Did I mention the textures on Gen's image? The collar, and then the rich slippery fabric of the robe. And her make up - that false but gorgeous blush, and the dramatic mouth and eyes, the way the highlights pick up the light but are clearly painted on her skin. (The orange highlighting her lower lids is amazing - I would never have thought that would work, but it's perfect.) How the poster is just dark enough to balance perfectly, and to hint that the story isn't just meetcute. Jared's mouth, oh my god, so full and just hinting at his dimples, and that casual stance with hands in pockets. Just a little Redford in The Sting, or maybe that's just how I like my pre-war guys...

I love it all. You know that. Thank you so much, again!

YOU PICKED THE FONT, DARLING! :D

Gen is so very shabby chic, yeah? And deliciously green Jared was one of my favorite parts of the story, especially as played against Gen's world-weary exotica. (I didn't think of The Sting, but yes! It's close-ish in time-period, eh?)

You were so patient with me and perfectly lovely! AND DAT FIC.

You're awesome, lady. You just are.

This is very pretty. Love the color palette you used on the Genevive piece, and Jared with short hair is very cute. :3

[quickreaver]

Thank ya! (Maybe it wasn't quite so painful for me to cut his hair afterall...)

Absolutely STUNNING! You are always amazing, but that poster is a total WOWZER
