#Little Gloria

[newyorkthegoldenage]

The custody dispute over the 10-year old heiress Gloria Vanderbilt fascinated Depression-era America in 1934. The girl's aunt, Gertrude Vanderbilt Whitney, sued for custody, alleging that her mother neglected her, had lovers of both sexes, and spent Gloria's inheritance income on her own hedonistic lifestyle. Gloria Senior retaliated by claiming that Whitney kept nude sculptures in her house (she was a sculptor herself and later founded the Whitney Museum in New York).

"The Trial of the Century," as the tabloids called it, began on October 1 and lasted six weeks. Gloria's youngest son, Anderson Cooper, later described it as "the O.J. case of its day, except bigger, because nothing like it had ever happened before." On November 13, the women in the picture above demonstrated outside the courthouse to support Gloria's mother's claim to her child. (Gloria's father had died years before.) In the end, the judge awarded custody to Whitney but allowed Gloria Senior weekend visitation rights. The NY Journal American mocked the verdict:

Rockabye baby, up on a writ. Monday to Friday, Mother's unfit As the week ends she rises in virtue, Saturdays, Sundays, Mother won't hurt you.

That wasn't worth it

If it wasn't apparent enough, I made these on the spot lol. Except for Yan, who I already have a design I use for any animal version of him. Maybe I'll refine them later down the line. (Moirai definitely needs it, for sure... I didn't include her because I don't really have an iterator style yet)

part of the joy of dead woman walking for me is i get to dip into stephen king type stuff with the spooky maine Fog but nick as a character absolutely refuses to engage with it. there's a part where there's a horrible something furling around in a lobster cage and nick says no. absolutely the hell not. and walks in the other direction. not my genre not my problem

Ok ok ok, this episode was like the greatest hits of guest characters. We got a BERT BERT. We got a TAMARA, we got tangle ALICE, hell we even got another appearance of youngest LEIFFF. Like come on I love it. These little dangling character threads from earlier in the season and the Young Leif series we sewn up beautifully.
