You\'re getting warmer... warmer... warmer... anonymous November 13 2007, 10:27:46 UTC

I have no idea what you\'re talking about.

Oh, you probably just need a new hobby, or something.

Double your dose, and look at the wonderful Beardsley illustration above. Now there's art!

Fantastic, darling! Thanks for that.

Don't let the crazies get you down. x

Ah, from Beardsley's Tannhauser illustrations, how wonderful! Those are some of my favorite Beardsley drawings, as well as his wonderful illustrations for Pope's Rape of the Lock.

Marvellous, isn't it?

Sadly, I can't really do it full justice here via Photobucket...

The simplicity of his line comes through, though, and that's the real beauty of his work.

Do you know, I just realized, I haven't the foggiest idea what your field is? Is it Literature, Classics, History? I know you're a professor, but of what? Inquiring women from across the pond want to know, or at least this one does.

I'm a strict interdisciplinarian. Very strict. sensaes November 13 2007, 17:42:41 UTC

*Laughs.*

I try to keep that sort of nonsense under my (many) hats.

It's bad enough when worlds collide on here, and bits and pieces of my research interests slip out...

;o)

Ooh, I'm not sure you should be telling me this ;) ! Seriously, though, I am also a strict interdisciplinarian, so I understand completely. Sorry to be so nosy, I'm afraid I rather embody the full saying, "Curiosity killed the cat, but satisfaction brought him back." So I'm justly killed, but I still have eight lives left ;).

The scent of blood sometimes drives 'em into a frenzy, y'know... sensaes November 13 2007, 19:42:15 UTC

*G* No worries.

Last night's nonsense aside, somewhere "out there" is a collaborative paper called The Postmodernist's Pedagogical Toolkit with a section that deals with this stuff. (It's a bit dated now, and not very good, but the relevant passage - "Private Obfuscation in Public Places" - may be worth revising for the next generation of eager beavers who underestimate the human element when it comes to splashing themselves all over the 'Net.)
