Darling Bonnie’s Memos 📝 Re: Hi, Society!

🔊 Sound on & up! Feeling like a show off, decided to grace you with a showroom that’s giving High Street Culture versions of a speech made at balls designed for debuts, mostly because tis the season for small offerings designed for the Interlude.

fandom politics are so funny

my favorite character is also your favorite character but you cannot interact with me because we wish for loki from the avengers to kiss two separate people. this divide is irreconcilable and i am inherently irredeemable. to suggest bipartisanship would make us both radicals.

That said it IS really fun to think about how fashion would differ in Kryta compared to how it actually is. With things like class, religion, and immigrant cultures all having clear influences on how people would dress (just like real life!)

#girlbob.txt #gw2 #i was specifically thinking about canthan-krytan fashion and how it would change between high class and low class #current idea being that high class follows things like current chinese street fashion trends #while lower class has a counter culture fashion consisting of looser shirts tight belts and asymmetry #not sure tho it was just an idea seeing as i'm not skilled enough to draw what i want #for concept arts

Magnolia about to flower, Insta selfie trap railway bridge in Camden and lights on the Regent’s Canal with my hands going numb in the cold; ancient faces at the British Museum. However the highlight was taking my 4 year old nephew to school in the freezing rain, another child’s mum asked him who I was and he told her and she goes, “oh yes we’ve heard about her!” Thus my legend is spread by the 4 year olds of north london

#v intense family bonding time #they may be in another country but I’m so glad I like them #still revelled in hours of museum alone time #bracketed by my bro’s family & my oldest friends #what a luxury to have a day like that! I am renewed my crops are watered!#I’m also exhausted from the trip but yk #sucks to be my job because I’m barely phoning it in #also: not north london but Lewisham is included as london borough of culture????#going up in the world baby! but not Sydenham where this was taken #the high street is still shit

The Campaign That Sparked The Fire.

When it all began it was 'The Darling Campaign', it was the spark that led to the fire that is breeding greater things. For this I am forever thankful.

Katara Cultural Village

Il Katara Cultural Village di Doha (Qatar) è situato tra il distretto finanziario di West Bay e le torri a mezza luna dell’area residenziale di The Pearl. Un mix di modernità e tecniche antiche costruito per ospitare attività culturali, intellettuali ed artistiche che lo hanno reso uno dei centri artistici più importanti della regione del Golfo Persico. La nostra prima tappa qui è la colorata Moschea di Katara o Moschea Blu progettata da Zeynep Fadilloglu, la prima architetta donna a specializzarsi in questo tipo di edifici religiosi. Ricoperta da meravigliose piastrelle blu e dorate, trae ispirazione da diversi edifici civili e religiosi del mondo musulmano.

All’arrivo siamo stati accolti dalla guida per un interessante approfondimento sui momenti di preghiera.

Vi è anche un’altra moschea a Katara che però abbiamo visto solo esternamente perché l’accesso non è consentito ai non musulmani, la cosiddetta Gold Mosque, così chiamata perché è interamente ricoperta da piastrelle dorate.

Abbiamo visto anche delle strane costruzioni, strutture oblunghe con fori e trespoli: si tratta delle Pigeon towers dedicate ai piccioni che servivano per raccogliere i loro escrementi utilizzati poi come fertilizzanti. Curiosa anche la forma dell’edificio dove ha sede Al-Gannas Qatari Society, un’associazione culturale che promuove la tradizionale caccia araba e la falconeria: infatti rappresenta uno chaperon, il copricapo per gli uccelli rapaci.

Nel cuore del villaggio si trova il grandioso e bianchissimo Anfiteatro, un mix tra arte islamica e greca,che può ospitare fino a 5 mila spettatori.

Anche se non volevamo fare shopping abbiamo raggiunto la 21 High Street, la via super lussuosa dove si trova il grande magazzino Lafayette, per ammirare le stupende sculture all’aperto in vetro di murano e poi siamo entrati al SNAN Food Hall per sbirciare la copertura in stile liberty.

Non mancano poi le sculture, ad esempio “The Force of Nature II” di Lorenzo Quinn oppure la fontana in movimento nella piazza principale.

Infine, per la mia gioia, la street art è arrivata anche qui.

We had one of Steff's comedian friends staying with us on the weekend, lovely lad called Sam from Singapore. He had never been to Wales before, and he requested that we take him to a Welsh restaurant so he could try Welsh food

That's surprisingly difficult, actually. Like a lot of Welsh culture, our culinary traditions have not exactly been applauded over the years, so you don't really see them. But a lucky Google search revealed a brand new one has just opened in SA1 called the Welsh House, so great! Away we went.

Fuck me, they went all in.

It wasn't just the menu (though fuck me, what a menu - one of their 'for the table to share' options was little mini leek and cheddar Welsh cakes with salted butter and they were paralysingly good). It wasn't just that every alcohol was Welsh, even including the wine (surprisingly good btw, called 'Naturiol'.)

The table centerpieces were daffodils. All signs for the toilets were Welsh only. The walls had photos of Wales, modern and historical; the windows had the fleur de lis; the specials board (pork belly in Welsh cider and damson sauce with honey and wild garlic glazed carrots) had dragons on. I realise this is probably normal for country-themed restaurants, but I've never been to one for Wales before.

But the best bit, see, was the music

I clocked, when we walked in, that they were playing If You Tolerate This Then Your Children Will Be Next by the Manic Street Preachers (you always clock the Manics). Ah, I thought. A Welsh song! In a Welsh restaurant! Ho ho ho.

As they seated us, it became What's New Pussycat. Ah! I thought. Another Welsh song! Fu fu fu.

Then they played Monster by the Automatic and I was like my god are they only playing Welsh music?? That's so cool! What an eclectic mix that's going to be. We should suggest to them they should look into Welsh language music too, really mix it up.

And then they played Anrheoli by Yws Gwynedd and lads, Steff and I lost our shit. We lost our fucking shit. Sam's sitting there, utterly bewildered. The staff are nervously edging away from us. We don't care. It's the first time I have ever heard a Welsh language song played outside of a Welsh language setting. We're so excited.

"They're playing Welsh music!!!" says Steff. "Holy shit!!!"

"Imagine if they played Sebona Fi!" I say, humorously.

"Nah," says Steff. "You can't in a restaurant. There'd be a riot, it's faerie music."

"...what?" says Sam

We explain the cultural phenomenon that is Sebona Fi. The song changes: Primadonna Girl, by Marina and the Diamonds.

"She's Welsh??" says Sam.

"She's from Abergavenny!" we beam.

"I don't know what that means," nods Sam, who is from Singapore.

Next: The Bartender and the Thief, by the Stereophonics. We're in high spirits. The extraordinarily Welsh wine arrives, as does the rarebit on sourdough starter. Sam, a gay man, delightedly orders the faggots and peas.

They play Ben Rhys by Gwilym Bowen Rhys, and we lose our shit again. Sam is now used to this, because comedians are adaptable. "They even have daffodils!" I say, misty eyed. "Is that relevant?" Sam asks, fascinated.

They play Hiraeth, by PLU. Hard to explain that one. Very hard to explain the effect it has when it's played in a restaurant, but Sam looks around the suddenly muted room and whispers "Are we in church?"

"It's about Hiraeth," whispers Steff. "So kind of."

Next: the Masses Against the Classes, by the Manics. Utter tonal whiplash. This playlist is not remotely restaurant appropriate. It's perfect.

"You'd think they'd pick like... a genre," Sam says dreamily. "We just went from church to the barricades."

The faggots arrive. "I forgot it would be a western sized portion," Sam says morosely, of what to me is a normal sized plate of food. He tries one, and brightens.

They play Sebona Fi.

The place erupts.

#I am going back there #going to try the rarebit next time #and the popcorn cockles #WALES!#closed for cleaning on mondays
