Blackberrying

Come, my love, let's go a blackberrying. It has been raining all day, and the woods are fragrant and soaked with dew.

I had a taste.

This is when I fell in love with you. The way your hair fell around your ear. Oh, God.

Forbidden fruit is the sweetest. The berry you never taste, delicious.

I realized I just wanted to be alone with you. I forgot about everything else in the world.

My whole world, which is too complicated.

Let's go in, my love. We are soaked from the rain-drenched grass.

Bonnie the Beautiful Bride, a 1950's-1960's vinyl jointed doll from the Deluxe Reading Company

Korean literature, and Hallyu 1.0, topics so important to me, will be legitimated as part of my scholarly identity. I feel like today is a kind of spiritual wedding day for my scholarly career (although the dissertation defense will more literally be that). My goal is to become a professor of Korean literature and that dream, as of today, is much closer. Almost fatefully, I happened to see this Soom Super Gem Girl sculpt that the vendor posted on Den of Angels. I was not in any danger of forgetting the elements of Korean imaginaries that make my blood run cold and my heart drop into the pit of my stomach. "Gross beauty," I have called it, but I really mean it in the nicest way.  A number of Edgar Alla...
