Gay friends in college ensured she was an oft-used reference. It's only now that I realise I have no idea who she is, although I knew so much about her death.
Oh, look at the pretties!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I'm surprised that you all didn't know about Duncan's sad end.
I thought Jesse would know something like that, but I wanted towould include the Wiki info for the people who would go "huh?".

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I wrote a paper on Isadora Duncan in High School. And I think of her whenever someone quotes "writing about music is like dancing about architecture", since there was a great passage in the bio written by one of her adopted daughters describing her dancing in the Parthenon (maybe, somewhere with a lot of columns and historic significance) with no music, just inspired by the building.
Her husband was a Russian poet who thought people should read novels straight through without interruption (not taking time out to sleep or eat or work) to fully appreciate them. He would probably not be pleased that that is all I remember about him.

Thank you!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
In like 7th grade, my best friend had a long scarf that she liked to wear, so someone made the Duncan reference then.

Sad now. The Camelot revival came through town so I was able to see him as King Arthur. Mom had/has such a crush on him.

I knew about Duncan!
So T came over to borrow my computer since hers isn't working and she had to type up a report. Took her about 40 minutes, 2 pages, and I was delighted when we ran the spell and grammar check. The only words were the "new" science terms and she mostly transposed letters (speud instead of pseud.) And she's finally nailing the grammar (I also checked.)
Oh & Devi did not let the terror of a preteen keep her from sitting behind the laptop under the lamp. But it is only 66 inside.
Oh & my heater works. I'm just keep it cool for now.
