Glossop Cure

[godsdaisiechain.livejournal.com]

I have now officially become obsessed with novelty undergarments of the period, as have Jeeves, Bertie and Sir Roderick.  Sadly, Jeeves has some disturbing symptoms in the next installment of the Glossop Cure

Warning: Jeeves is very emotional.

Squeee.... can't wait to read this! I'm going to keep throwing fetish material at you. (This is almost like having my own personal pornographer, except, you know, much classier)

Oh look, now you've gone and disturbed Jeeves while he's shaving (in 1912).

No really, we should have some sort of like, period add porn for stuff like this *drool*

Yes -- we do need some sort of (totally tasteful) porn forum -- there is much male loveliness from the 1910s and 20s... I was vaguely thinking of making a tumblr for it (except I don't really know how that works exactly) ... it could be called "What ho! attractive chaps" or something (I know "what ho!" is not the precise tumblr naming convention, but Aunt Agatha would wash our mouths out with soap and *then* sacrifice us at the full moon if we use the conventional nomenclature. She might be fictional, but I wouldn't risk it!

[godsdaisiechain.livejournal.com]

I think the term we may be grasping for is "nature study of the male form" Isn't that much more tasteful... and educational also?

I borrowed it from Mabel Maney, who writes these really hysterical gay/lesbian Hardy Boys/Nancy Drew novels, so it works effectively for that type of use.

I don't know enough about tumblr....I'm to afraid to make one of my own, because I think it might capture whatever left of my soul....but yes, it needs to happen! And imagine- we wouldn't be limited to jooster related things!

and yes, Aunt Agatha is one of those charters that I would NOT want to meet in the real world- right up there with Moriarty. We must endeavor to appease Aunt A. at all times *nod nod*

Also, this fine chap decided to put in another appearance, it seems. 1912 was a dashed pleasant year...

Dashed pleasant indeed....pardon me while i go drool...

[godsdaisiechain.livejournal.com]

see where it says "gift suggestions" a framed print would do nicely...hubba hubba and whatnot

yipe those razors were expensive.... and maybe i could be your personal canoodle scribe.

[wotwotleigh.livejournal.com]

Holy moly, the most basic of those razors would be worth about $120 today, according to an inflation calculator I just found. The fancy sets come out to about $1,190.50. That's insane! If that was the going price for safety razors back in the day, maybe that's the real reason Jeeves got so fussy when Bertie neglected to use his.

[godsdaisiechain.livejournal.com]

Agreed that the fancy sets seem like a lot... however, just think of how much you'd save if you did not have to pay the barber or valet to shave you with a straight razor... The basic razor would pay for itself in a less than a year...and I imagine that the people of the ton would have had more expensive barbers? Or is this all rot?

[laeticiav.livejournal.com]

But surely you would want your valet to shave you...
It probably is way too much for a razor, but I think I would buy anything that the man in the ad suggested. I really can't think at all in the presence of that illustration.

[godsdaisiechain.livejournal.com]

In cases like this, too much thinking would be unforgivable. I think, though, that ll those poor slobs who hadn't a Jeeves might have wanted to trade in the clump-footed, tea sloshing model for a safety razor... what if they nicked the tender skin, what?

[wotwotleigh.livejournal.com]

I was delighted to see that, in the original Bertie-Grows-a-Mustache-and-Jeeves-Flips-Out story (the title escapes me right now), Bertie asks Jeeves to shave the mustache off of him at the end. Too bad they left that little detail out of the TV version.

[laeticiav.livejournal.com]

And suddenly, just like that, the word philtrum is being all dirty up in my brain. Probably because my brain is confusing it with frenulum. I think we need some (more) shaving porn in this delightful community!

Your icon makes me far too happy, that is all
