The "Brit a Day" series

What does a months-long parade of attractive British men have to do with fiction, you might well ask? These gentlemen have inspired some lovely scenes, part of the life I live in my head. Over time, some of these scenes reach out to one another and begin to form a story. For the present, each one of these pictures provides a writing prompt for me, a way to keep me writing with a sense of passion and narrative, even when the stories are not yet fully formed.

A Brit a Day [#613]

Benedict Cumberbatch and Gary Oldman in 'Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy.'

I can't wait for this movie.  I've been living in a kind of Cold-War-European-1970's aesthetic lately.  I traveled around the East/West German border in 1980, and this week I had my Kodachrome slides of that trip transferred to DVD.  [See a few on my other blog: http://anthropologic-ephemera.dreamwidth.org/]  So I've been reliving my brief days behind the Iron Curtain [that's so fun to say..]

And as for the 1970's--I finally saw 'Last Tango in Paris' for the first time on Netflix the other day.
