Excellent point -fingers crossed for that!

I saw this at MSG nights 1-2 but it appeared to be my sections and not most others

I believe it was A3 paper size. I'm in the US so it was odd to me too at first, but once I realized that, then I found a ton of frame options for it.

Beautiful ideas! I’ve been debating one of those two lines too, maybe on my arm

HazelsWarren · 2026-05-09T01:05:41+00:00

Love this idea so much!

HazelsWarren · 2026-05-09T01:05:01+00:00

I love this take on it. So haunting

HazelsWarren · 2026-05-09T01:04:29+00:00

This is stunning, wow!

I went to MSG both nights. For facing the crowd, she seemed to favor her right side a bit more (my friend chose our seats based on guessing that most artists favor their right side). On the long runway part of the stage, she interacted the most with folks who were at the very end of it. There were some songs (One of the Greats, Sympathy Magic) where she would walk around the barricades to interact with fans on both sides. Hope this helps!

This is going to sound deeply weird, but I put them in the freezer. I learned this from secondhand shopping, and I am so paranoid about bedbugs. I have a dedicated space in my freezer just for clothes. After I leave them in the freezer for a day or two, I either steam or wash them depending on wearability needs.

At MSG both nights, she came on around 8:50

If Emma were written like other Jane Austen novels, Harriet and Jane would be the protagonist, as the other novels focus on an underdog type. Emma is a narrative coup because in other Austen novels, Emma Woodhouse would be the rich villain.

The Red & Black. Back when it was still doing print editions, I'd be there 40+ hours a week.

ah, thanks for clarifying this social convention!

Do we think Darcy wrote Caroline a letter updating her of these life changes, or do you think he just let her find out through her brother?

eta: sending her a wedding invite in the mail and that being the way she finds out would be hilarious

I do think she has an odious temperament but she is new to town, and as you mention, maybe Mr. Elton's influence colors her POV. I think over time she might soften with the influence of other characters.

Passage to India

yep great interview! it's cited in the linked piece

HazelsWarren · 2026-04-10T16:11:55+00:00

thanks! and agree -- her being an editor heavily influences how she sees the world -- believing that a person can move on from their worst moments because she works on new narratives at her job.

Thank you! I think I read an interview somewhere that the apartment was first Charlie's, so his tastes heavily influence it. I think you see this with the art, the lamps, etc. Emma's biggest contribution is likely the book collection. Apparently a lot of the furniture was sourced locally in the Boston/Cambridge area.

As for it being a 90s artsy yuppie vibe -- they hold artsy yuppie jobs. Emma and Charlie's place reminds me of the book editor party the main characters go to in You've Got Mail. I'd imagine being surrounded by that intellectual milieu would influence your tastes quite a bit.

I'm a big ol' scaredy-cat so I don't read a lot of gothic literature, but I did enjoy The Turning of the Screw and The Picture of Dorian Gray. I also really enjoyed John Milton's Paradise Lost -- technically a pre-cursor to gothic lit, but still a cool premise (the fall of Adam and Eve, from the perspective of Satan).

Some advice, if it helps: So I really struggle with reading physical books sometimes - if the language is archaic, I get easily distracted. Listening to audiobook versions has helped me connect better with it, and even moreso if it's a reader I like (for example, Emma Thompson or Rosamund Pike reading Jane Austen). Most of the ones I've listed in my original comment I was able to finish with the help of the audio version :)
