And blondes win every time Goldelox...gentlemen prefer 'em!😄
BTW, I never recognised Agatha Christie! She looked almost modern - better than that 'permed' look on the back of the novels.
Still, I don't 'spose many of us look like our twenty year old selves either...

Hey! They don't! But then I suppose I'm not really a gentleman (except when visiting a public convenience).

Dame Agatha Mary Clarissa Christie DBE (née Miller; 15 September 1890 – 12 January 1976) was a British crime writer of novels, short stories, and plays. She also wrote romances under the name Mary Westmacott, but she is best remembered for her 66 detective novels and more than 15 short story collections (especially those featuring Hercule Poirot or Miss Jane Marple)  DL Sayers as well: her dates are wrong for here, but this is a lovely picture:  Older, she was less pretty but more interesting:  I once named a character in a novel after her ("Leigh"); it was the young Dorothy I pictured as I was writing, because the character was young. (Yes, finished it, in that I got to the end (several times), but not "Finished". Could have done with at least another half dozen goes through.) |

You are an author then? Cor... No, I'm not. I used to write and rewrite a lot, but that's as far as it went. It's people like Dorothy Sayers who stopped me, really - I could never have been that fluid. |

A Fall lyric for every occasion:
Now I've tried crazy things
Abusing my body to a quick end
But I'll never never never never do it again
I said I'll never never never never do it again
To Rowche Rumble
- "Rowche Rumble" - The Fall
(I was hoping that this was released on Rough Trade (for the coincidence), but it was really almost exactly 1 year before their first Rough Trade release: Step Forward, July 1979)
