Oh my.

There are Natalie Barney naked pictures on Tumblr.

I am ... not sure how I feel about this.
My main feeling, I think, is definite DNW.




(Though seriously, of all the fin-de-siècle lesbians, I am on one level not at all surprised that Natalie's naked pics should be googleable. Oh, Natalie.)
(Also, I was looking up pics of her to put with this Softer World comic. Ahaha.)

That's quite a pretty naked picture!

(Cannot believe this is my first comment on your journal. Starting as I mean to go on, perchance. Um, if your research leads to more naked pictures which it sounds like it might. I googled Renée Vivien and am absolutely charmed by her.)

It is a very pretty naked picture, isn't it? Also, her girlfriend (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Liane_de_Pougy_postcard.jpg) was legit stunning. By all means, let us start our friendship as we mean to go on. :P
I LOVE RENEE VIVIEN SO MUCH. Though that is partly an effect of currently writing extended essay on her and drowning in it, so I have no idea if our true love will last. But she was so angsty and brilliant and messed-up! Charmed is the right word.
(Also, due to extended essay of doom, my mind is fairly solidly one-track right now, as you might have noticed. Normal service will be resumed shortly.)

Omg! There are so many beautiful dead people. I mean, your research sounds like the best thing ever, srsly. I want you to publish it all so I can read it & fangirl wildly.

What is this normal service of which you speak. XD But, no, I am not one to judge; my lj is 50% angst 50% dead Frenchmen.

I agree, it is a pretty naked picture!

I KNOW. Just - how can someone that gorgous actually exist? And be a real person? (A dead real person, but!) And breathe oxygen?

Sometimes both at once!

I will post about it soon, definitely! I didn't get back until the evening yesterday, and we had NO HOTEL INTERNET (I caved and paid for a few hours' worth in the end, mostly to check train times), so have spent all evening since getting back from work catching up on LJ. It was v. exciting, though!

Does Oxford know that this is where it has led you? WICKED EDUCATION, CORRUPTING INNOCENT MINDS. (You're right, her girlfriend is rather stunning.)
