“Make me a willow cabin at your gate

And call upon my soul within the house;

Write loyal cantons of contemnèd love

And sing them loud even in the dead of night;

Hallow your name to the reverberate hills

And make the babbling gossip of the air

Cry out 'Olivia!' O, You should not rest

Between the elements of air and earth

But you should pity me.”

- Viola, Act 1 Scene 5

REVELATIONS au Théâtre de Passy, rires en cascade avec Daniel Russo, Véronique Genest, Edouard Collin et Messaline Paillet!

Quel bonheur d’entendre une salle rire pendant les représentations d’une pièce. C’est le cas avec REVELATIONS, la pièce est signée Jean-Eric Bielle avec une mise en scène d’Arnaud Lemort. Il n’en fallait pas plus pour que j’ai envie de rencontrer les comédiens. En toute franchise, je connaissais Véronique depuis les temps immémoriaux du festival d’Avoriaz où nous avions fait plus d’une fois la…

The Eras Tour | The Tortured Poets Department section | Version 1

Vivienne Westwood 'Messaline Orb Three Row Choker' - $600.00

Many more thoughts to come on the newly added Tortured Poets set to the Eras Tour, but it feels noteworthy with this necklace to take a moment and track the progression of VW as an Easter Egg.

Back in January, Taylor threw us an intentional Easter egg red herring courtesy of a candid outfit while out to dinner with Blake Lively. Her ensemble (a velvet olive green dress and leather boots adorned with snakes) screamed reputation (as she knew it would be perceived as such) but the hidden clue all along was the VW bag she was carrying.

The bag in question featured VW's iconic 'orb' logo which we also see here on this choker. The orb, to VW, was meant to be a take on the Sovereign orb of the British Royal Family and a cheeky reference to Vivienne's self-described title of "queen" of fashion.

We also saw one of Vivienne Westwood's ruffled shirts pop up in the "Fortnight" music video as Taylor received electroshock therapy for her perceived descent into madness.

And now we see this designer on the Eras Tour stage, bringing together the Clara Bow-esque choker accessorizing from Taylor's 2024 Grammys appearance full circle.

It also doesn't escape my notice that Taylor would opt to use the designs of one of the most well know British designers in the stage incarnation of what she dubbed Female Rage: The Musical from an album that achingly documents two high profile splits from British men.

What's this? A Triumvirate WIP? That's right, I've been working hard on the finale of the Triumvirate series, and it will be posting very soon!

Behind the cut is a little taste from the first chapter (I may have posted a bit of this before??? It was a while ago and I don't remember).

“Baroness Messaline wants to speak with me,” Mara told Luke quietly. 

He followed her gaze. Messaline’s hand alighted on her wine glass, tapping twice. “She’s charm signing,” Mara explained. “She wants me to come alone.” 

“Is that what she’s doing?” The furrow between his brows cleared. “I never got the hang of it.” 

Mara made a noncommittal hum. He looked down at her as if stuck by a sudden thought. “Did you ever try to use it to signal me?” 

“No,” she said dryly. “I knew better than to expect that a provincial prince from Naboo would understand the intricacies of Coruscanti charm signing.” 

Luke snorted. “Throneworlders.” 

She could sense the tension humming under his banter, but it didn’t bother her much; the Solmephodril kept her easy and relaxed. “Messaline might have gossip for me. I need to know what’s going on in the Court,” she reminded him. 

He took a long look at her. “You’re still high,” he said bluntly. “Are you sure you want to go alone?” 

“This isn’t the first soirée I’ve attended on Solmephodril,” she said, rolling her eyes. “It’s only Messaline. She’s not that clever an operator.” 

“Alright,” he murmured after a moment, hand brushing her lower back as he stepped away. “Be careful.”

“A blank, my lord. She never told her love,

But let concealment, like a worm i’ th’ bud,

Feed on her damask cheek. She pined in thought,

And with a green and yellow melancholy

She sat like Patience on a monument,

Smiling at grief.”

- Viola, Act 2 Scene 4
