This beautiful white spencer with light orange vandyking was likely designed by Rosalind Ebbutt for the 1998 adaptation of Vanity Fair, where it was worn by Frances Grey as Amelia Sedley. It was next worn by Ashley Park as Gertie Covington in the 2020 Mr.Malcolm’s List. In 2023 it was spotted on Alice Orr-Ewing as Lydia Montrose in the 2023 third and final season of Sanditon.

Tudor- Brandon branch

"Mary visited London for the last time to celebrate the wedding of her eldest daughter, Lady Frances Brandon to Henry Grey, Marquess of Dorset, who descended from Thomas Grey, the elder son of Elizabeth Woodville (Queen of Edward IV) by her first marriage to Sir John Grey. Frances and Henry were to become the parents of the nine-day queen of England, the ill-fated Lady Jane Grey, who was executed on the orders of Queen Mary I. Recent research suggests that Lady Jane, the eldest, was not born at Bradgate but at the Dorsets’ London residence, on a date somewhat earlier than the usually suggested date of October 1537. The few verifiable contemporary comments on her appearance note that she was slight, and pleasant-looking. The prevailing perception was certainly that she was formidably intelligent and well-educated. The Dorsets appear to have been determined that their girls should develop practical and intellectual skills.

That Jane was also spirited and had a mind of her own even at a young age is evident from the correspondence of her learned tutor, John Aylmer, of whom she spoke fondly, with the Swiss reformer Henry Bullinger, who had sent to Jane and her father ‘a little volume of pure and unsophisticated religion’, with a dedication. Aylmer wrote to Bullinger that young people’s minds needed the counsel of older people and serious influences, thanking Bullinger for his contribution to Jane’s ‘improvement’. Tellingly, he employed the metaphor of ‘bridles for restive horses’.

Katherine, the Dorsets’ second daughter, traditionally considered the beauty of the family, is shown in the miniatures by the Flemish-bornminiaturist to the English court, Levina Teerlinc, as a fair-complexioned, golden-haired young woman, almost the stereotypical English rose. The third daughter, although uncharitably depicted as ‘dwarfish in stature’ – Lady Mary was only four feet in height – was disparagingly described by the Spanish Ambassador Guzman da Silva, writing to King Philip, as ‘little, crook-backed, deformed, and very ugly’, freckled and red-haired, like her sisters. Mary was undoubtedly intelligent, yet her career followed the fateful pattern set by others in her family. She not only fell in love but was determined to marry her beloved, despite the awful example of the retribution which befell her sister Katherine.

After the failure of the Lady Jane Grey plot, it became clear that the Suffolk claims were doomed to failure. It was even questionable whether Henry VIII had had the right to bequeath the crown as he pleased, albeit with the authorisation of Parliament. Moreover, the Will had not been signed by his own hand, as required by statute, but merely by dry stamp. There was much quibbling over the phrase ‘and if it so happen that the said Lady Eleanor die without issue, then we will that the said Imperial Crown shall come to our next rightful heirs,’ not ‘right heirs’, as stated in the first Act of Succession. Under Elizabeth, the legality of Mary Rose’s marriage to Brandon and hence the legitimacy of their children was thrown into question. With each succeeding generation, their connection with the throne grew increasingly remote."

My pictures of Dir En Grey in Paris, Day 2 (23.03.24)~

Day 1 pics here.

(more of my thoughts on the shows below the line)

As I said in my previous post, I'll remember these 2 days for the rest of my life. I was a bit off to the side but still very close to the stage on day 2, and when I tell you I lost my mind when Kyo came out looking like that. It's like he'd answered my prayers cuz I was so hoping he'd do a cool look on day 2, and he looked so fkn stunning. Toshiya also looked so good with the black sparkly dress (shame I wasn't able to capture him effectively for myself but I'm glad others did). But yeah no I'm never getting over Kyo's outfit. He really did that.

They didn't just look amazing, they sounded amazing. What an incredibly solid live band. They have to be witnessed lived, truly. I couldn't believe my eyes and ears. Kyo pulled off all those vocals so perfectly I was awestruck, Kaoru and Die played so intricately, Toshiya slayed the bass, and Shinya was a drumming machine. Thank you so much to this band for the best concerts I could've ever asked for.
