Versailles

[evile]

So I've had some free time lately and it's being sucked up binge-watching this gorgeous show on Netflix. The history is so-so, the costumes and sets are gorgeous, and Alexander Vlahos  as Monsieur Phillipe hits all my buttons--a long haired pretty boy who likes cross-dressing? THAT'S A BINGO!  whoo. yeah. I'll be in my bunk.

I love costume period dramedies. I may give this a try.

Watching this series also makes me want to go back and re-read The Oracle Glass. It's set in the same time period, told from the point of view of one of the assorted mystics/charlatans/potion-sellers who interacted with the court & was involved with the Affair of the Poisons. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Affair_of_the_Poisons

Oooh that book looks like fun. Added to my "want to read" list.
