Perfect Match - 17

The New York evening is the same as it ever was. Crisp air with just a touch of autumn. The endless sounds of traffic & sirens. Only this time one of the sirens belongs to your ambulance. Bill is besides you, holding your hand while the paramedics try to keep you stable until they reach the emergency room.

They push through the doors and Bill's stopped by a tiny woman in hospital scrubs. "I'm sorry, sir. No one is allowed beyond this point. How about I show you where you can wait," guiding Bill to the waiting room. Bill doesn't find the cream-colored walls & green upholstery the least bit calming. "When we know more, we'll update you, ok?" She gently pats Bill's hand & rushes back through the swinging doors.

Bill wants to argue, but what good will that do him? Billy isn't left alone for long. Soon he's joined by his friends and your grandparents. Some other members of your grandfather's inner circle. Men who watched you grow up, mentored you, trained you. All sat nervously in the waiting room for any information they could get on you.

Time passes so slowly as all they just wait. Everyone is asleep in chairs or returned home, promising to be back in the morning. Billy sits quietly, for 8 hours when a doctor finally appears, making Bill jump out of his seat.

"Are you the family of Y/N Luciano?" she quietly asks.

"Yes, I'm her fiance, Bill Russo. Her grandparents are asleep over there."

"I'm Dr. Wallace. It was very smart of Y/N to legally name you as next of kin when you got engaged. We have the paperwork on file." Billy breaks into a soft smile, mentally thanking Enzo and his ability to make anything materialize. And trusting him enough to name Bill as her next of kin.

"That's my girl. Please, doctor, I have to know how she is." The doctor pat's Bill's shoulder & leads him off to the corner.

"Y/N sustained some pretty horrific injuries, and as you know, she has undergone an extremely complicated surgery. We had to remove her gallbladder & spleen due to the knife wound. We struggled to locate all the places that she was bleeding internally, but I believe we got them all. She has multiple rib fractures, and one of those ribs had punctured her lung. She has a chest tube in place and a machine beathing for her at the moment. She lost a lot of blood and we are currently having it replaced. She's not out of the woods yet, but i am hopeful. She seems like a very strong young lady."

Looking down at the doctor, Bill can see there is more she's deliberately not telling him. A fear goes through him. "What aren't you saying?"

"Unfortunately, no matter how hard we tried, we were unable to save the baby." The world drops out from under Bill. His angel was pregnant? Did she know? Why didn't she tell him? "She was only a few weeks along. She might not have even known, not that it makes it any easier, of course. I am very sorry."

Bill nods, "I have no idea what to say. I didn't know she was pregnant. I'm pretty sure she didn't realize it either." Bill's in a daze. Even though he just found out, he feels like something's been stolen from you both. "Can she get pregnant again when the time is right?" he asks hopefully.

"I'd be very hopeful. Nevertheless, you could get some help with IVF, if it is needed."

"I'd sell a kidney if it meant her getting everything she wanted," he attempts jokingly.

"Well, legally I don't think I can take your kidney."

"Can I see her, Doc?

"We're getting her settled in intensive care. You can come in one at a time to see her."

"I'll be staying with her. The visitors won't be a problem."

"Okay, a nurse will be through shortly to show you where Y/N is. She'll probably sleep most of the night, but that's what we want; her body to heal itself."

Bill shakes the doctor's hand, thanking her for everything. He wakes everyone to update them on your condition. Except for the baby. You should know about the baby before anyone else does. Bill will make it a point to let the nurses know its confidential information. He wants to be the one to tell you.

Walking into the room, and seeing his Angel looking so small, battered & bruised, breaks Bill's heart. He sits down beside your bed and gently takes your hand in his. It squeezes his heart that there's no response from you. He starts talking. He tells you about all the shit that has went down. He tells you he loves you so many times & that he can't fucking wait to make a life with you. You just had to get better and wake up.

*****

You have no idea how much time has passed, but you realize it's nighttime. Everything seems quieter. The lights are low. You do realize that Bill's curled up beside you. An act that he's perfected now to ensure he doesn't catch any of your wires or tubing. As you wake you start taking inventory on all your aches and pains. You shift and Bill wakes immediately. He looks down at you with a smile that lights up his face and presses the nurses call button.

"Hey beautiful."

Tears escape, "I missed our wedding," you whisper hoarsely.

Billy kisses your face, "We can do it anytime you want, Angel. I am all yours. Forever. I love you, Y/N. I've waited forever to say those words to you.

"You did tell me. I heard you; you know. While I was asleep. I heard you tell me every day. Those words helped me fight to get back to you."

The nurse catches Billy midway through untangling himself from your wires, "Mr. Russo," with an exasperated sigh. They've given up on scolding him because he doesn't listen. He'll always find a way back to your bed. "Hello, Ms Luciano, I'm Kate." She very efficiently starts taking your vitals, swatting Billy out of her way. How are you feeling? On a scale of 1-10, what's your pain level?

You quickly look at Billy's scowl, "Um..."

"Don't look at him scowling. I need to know so we can prescribe you something to make you more comfortable. Your man there don't want you to be in pain either."

"7"

"Ok, we'll fix up something for you right away. We had to lower your dosage, in order for you to wake up." Again, the nurse has to nudge Billy out of her way, "You're lucky to have one very dedicated man. He hasn't left your side through all of this. He can improve on his listening skills and rule following, but you're still really lucky."

"No, ma'am," squeezing back next to you on the bed & dropping a kiss to your forehead, "I'm the lucky one."

25. Do you want it on your back or would you like to be on your stomach?

Luciano is not sure what he was thinking when he agreed to this.

Well, that’s actually an understatement; he clearly wasn’t thinking. Spending most of his time surrounded by crazy tattoo artists who use their own bodies as sketchbooks has clouded his judgment. There is otherwise no explanation as to why he has agreed to Martín’s stupid bet.

The wager was simple enough; Argentina and Brazil had a friendly match, which as always didn’t held very friendly spirits among fans at all. If Argentina lost the match, Martín would have to add to his numerous collection a tattoo related to Luciano’s homeland. If Brazil lost, then Luciano would have to get a tattoo related to Martín’s.

Brazil had had a last minute defeat, and now Luciano has to honour his word and get a permanent tattoo related to fucking Argentina of all places. As if Martín’s goading after the match weren’t enough.

Martín had given him a few days to think it over, and last night Luciano had finally showed him the design he had chosen. Martín had made a few adjustments, but had approved of it with a smile and the promise to work on it the very next evening.

Luciano closes the flower shop for the day - Dona Délia has started to entrust him with more and more responsibilities as she slowly lets him take charge of the shop, much to Luciano’s pride. He walks the few steps than separate him from the parlour, and stands in front of its door for a moment. He takes a deep breath and goes inside with the reluctant step of a man about to meet his doom.

Julio spares a quick glance from his phone when the door chimes, lets out a little huff and turns back his attention down once he checks it is only Luciano. His manners are better when it comes to clients, but Luciano is no client so he doesn’t bother to greet him.

“Hi, Lu!” Daniel calls for him, waving from his station.

“Hey, Dani,” Luciano waves back, but his attention is soon claimed by Martín when he all but rushes to him and greets him with a sweet kiss.

“Get a room,” Julio grunts.

“Sorry, are we getting close to your bedtime hour, Julito?” Martín snaps back, to which Julio answers with a long string of curses at him.

Daniel joins them with a smile and a backpack hanging on one shoulder. He has even more piercing than when Luciano first meet him, as impossible as that sounds.

“Let’s go?” he nods to Julio.

Julio snaps his mouth shut, and nods eagerly with a blush as he picks his own backpack and trails after Daniel. Luciano raises an eyebrow at Martín.

“Don’t give me that look, Julio wishes,” Martín replies with a roll of his eye.

Right. Luciano looks around, and then turns back to Martín.

“Sebas?”

“Already gone for the day,” Martín answers, and a slow smile spreads across his lips.

Which means they have the parlour to themselves.

Martín makes sure to turn the little “OPEN” sign on the door to “CLOSED”, shuts the door and then guides Luciano to his station. As Martín gets the machine ready, Luciano spares a glance around.

Martín’s station is surprisingly neat and organised. Luciano smiles fondly at the pictures over a cabinet; there are photos of Martín’s family, of Sebas and Dani (pictures old enough in which neither have tattoos nor piercing), but there also are a couple of photos of Luciano and the puppy they adopted no more than an year ago. He gazes towards Martín’s wall, the one covered with more pictures and sketches of tattoos Martín has worked on, a proud display of his work. Two particularly pictured stand from the rest, hanged and framed behind glass side by side while the rest is simple paper pinned to the wall – two identical floral tattoos, one on a dark forearm, the other on a fair ribcage. The sight warms Luciano’s insides, eases back his initial apprehension.

“So,” Martín prods as he slips his latex gloves on with an unnecessary snap. “Do you want it on your back or would you like to be on your stomach?”

“No sex pun intended, I’m sure,” Luciano rolls his eyes at him.

Martín snorts.

“So, where?” he insists.

As simple answer, Luciano takes his shirt off and lowers the waistband of his pants and underwear dangerously low to exposes his hipbone.

“Here.”

Martín nods in approbation and gets to work. He makes a stencil and places it over Luciano’s hipbone, rubs and presses at it. He removes it, but the drawing remains on Luciano’s skin.

“Go check it out,” he asks.

Luciano stands in front of the full-body mirror resting against the wall, and peers at his reflection.

A little elegant sun stares back at him from his hip. It looks surprisingly nice, Luciano must admit. It s innocuous enough, the sun could mean anything. It could mean Luciano likes hot weathers, or the beach, or summer, which he does. Only Martín would know the true reason behind the tattoo. And Sebastián. And Daniel. And Julio. Oh, and Miguel. Surely Manuel too. Well, basically anyone Martín talks to, but well. It could be worse. Knowing Martín, it could be much muchworse.

Luciano is lucky he is getting away with so little.

“Like it?” Martín asks.

Luciano nods. Martín takes a sit on his stool, gesture Luciano to join him on the tattoo bed. Luciano lays down, crosses his arms behind his head and stares at the ceiling.

“Take a deep breathe,” Martín says as he turns the tattoo machine on in a loud buzz. “And here we go…”

That’s all the warning he gets before he feels the tiny needles breaking into his skin. The initial pain makes him grimace, but after a moment he can relax as his body gets used to it.

“You’re lucky I’m not forcing you to get the actual Sun of May,” Martín comments as he works. “Only because I don’t want a national symbol judging me every time we fuck.”

“Oh, but I do get to have Maradona creepily starting at my ass, uh?” Luciano answers back, raising his head to frown disapprovingly at Martín.

Martín raises the machine gun and gives him a very flat very unimpressed look.

“Do you want me to tattoo the Sun of May on you?” he asks.

Luciano decides it is wiser to shut it – at least while Martín holds the tattoo machine.

Martín continues working in quiet, familiar silence. It is not the first time Luciano is under Martín’s expert hands, and he suspects it won’t be the last either. He lays there, lets Martín work as he stares at the ceiling. To the constant stabbing and buzzing eventually lead him to shut his brain off and zone out.

He is brought back to reality in a little gasp and a full body twitch when Martín’s hand casually cups the front of his pants.

“Hold still,” Martín chides sternly, keeping his focus on his work.

Luciano can’t help to side eye him with a little scepticism - he shoots a glance at the hand innocently resting between his legs, but he ultimately obeys. After all, the many tiny needles are stilling stabbing permanent ink into his flesh. They go back to their still quiet, before Martín’s hand gives the bulge in the front of Luciano’s pants a gentle squeeze and he starts lazily rubbing at it, trailing up and down.

Luciano sighs, and can’t help the cheeky smile spreading on his lips. He closes his eyes as his cock twitches with interest and a familiar warmth blooms in his lower belly. The pleasure and pain, so close in location and so far in the spectrum, mix in a very interesting cocktail he wouldn’t think possible. He grows harder and harder under Martín’s palm, but the buzzing of the tattoo machine reminds him to remain still as Martín continues working on his tattoo.

He acknowledges the elephant in the room by the time his cock is obscenely and unmistakably tenting his pants under Martín’s hand.

“Do you usually treat your clients this way?” he says, trying to go for casual.

“Now that’s some idea,” Martín replies as a twin smile curls his lips. He keep on working, doesn’t bother to look up. “’New service, tattoo with happy ending’. That’d definitely make the parlour more popular.”

Luciano knows Martín is messing with him, and still can’t help the possessive twinge of jealousy stabbing at his side, sharper than the needling on his skin.

“I’m sure Sebastián would love that,” he grumbles back.

“It can be my little secret way to earn juicy tips,” Martín teases.

Luciano does glare at him this time, and Martín has the gall to look up and give him a highly amused smile. He turns the machine off, leaves it on his tattoo trolley and, giving Luciano’s erection one last squeeze, he stands.

Luciano can’t help to raise half of his body on his elbows too peer down.

“You done?” he asks.

“Not quite yet,” Martín answers, takes Luciano by the neck and kisses him.

It has very little finesse, straight to the point – it is wet and open and hot, and Martín pushes his tongue inside Luciano’s mouth to feel what is his favourite piercing Luciano has gotten so far. As they kiss, Martín’s free hand slides inside Luciano’s underwear, pushes the waistband down and lets Luciano’s erection spring free. Martín takes him in his hand, and Luciano groans despite the unfamiliar strange feeling of his latex glove on him. Martín closes his hand around him, and Luciano fucks into it. Pre-cum makes the slide of his cock into Martín’s tight fist smooth and easy, but he is not sure how he feels about the artificial texture of the latex, about the lack of skin contact. He has little time to decide as Martín insistent tugging pushes him closer and closer to orgasm, until Luciano closes his fist around Martín’s arm and comes with a moan in his gloved hand.

Martín gives him one last peck on the lips and pulls away. Luciano lets him go, tries to catch his breath as he watches him walk to one of his cabinets and open a drawer. Luciano gives Martín’s wide handsome back one last appreciative look before remembering the tattoo. He peers down at the finished work, right next to his exposed softening spent cock.

As all of Martín’s works, it’s very nice, with clean elegant dark lines. A delicate reference that will go unnoticed.

Martín is back soon, sits back on his stool with a tissue box and a tube of ointment and bandages. He holds the tissue box up for Luciano, who accepts it with a nod of thanks and cleans the cum off his skin and tucks himself back inside his underwear. Meanwhile, Martín gently rubs the ointment over Luciano’s new tattoo and proceeds to bandage it.

“Remove the bandage after 24 hours,” he recites mechanically, as Luciano has heard him do a hundred times before. “Wash it with cool water and antimicrobial soap, pat-dry it gently and apply a layer of antibacterial ointment twice a day. No tight clothes, no hot showers, no sun for about 2 weeks.”

Luciano has to snort.

“You live with me,” he points out.

“So what? I have to be the one taking care of it?” Martín smirks as he finishes patching him up.

“Well, yes,” Luciano replies. “You’re the expert here, and I’m your boyfriend.”

Martín gives him an inelegant snort. He runs his thumb gently and fondly over the bandage, and gives Luciano one last quick. Luciano catches him by the arm, doesn’t let him get away, and tries to deepen the kiss. Martín indulges in, and only pulls away and stands back when Luciano reaches for his belt. He takes Luciano’s hand in his and entwines their fingers together to raise them to his face and place an apologetic kiss on Luciano’s knuckles with a clear message; not now.

So Luciano lets him go, and Martín slides out of reach with a soft fond smile.

Luciano sits up and puts his shirt back on. He watches Martín move around his working station in a well-practiced routine; he takes off his soiled gloves and throws them away, cleans his station and puts everything away, leaving the space clean and neat for another day of work next morning.

Once he is done, they head out.

“Can’t wait for the rematch,” Luciano comments as Martín closes the parlour’s front door.

Martín hums in agreement. Once the door is locked and secured, he slips the keys inside his pocket and curls his arm around Luciano’s shoulder. He pulls him close and they walk away, back home.

“Maybe I can convince you to get a Messi tattoo next,” Martín says with a dramatic dreamy sigh.

Luciano elbows him.

“You should be the one thinking what to get when Brazil wins next match,” he replies.

“I could get ‘7-1’ as tramp stand…” Martín hums thoughtfully.

“I will dump your stupid ass, Martín,” Luciano threatens darkly.

Martin laughs, tugs him closer and lowers his head to kiss his hair.

“Sure thing, sunshine,” he smiles down at him with a bright happy glint in his eyes.

Luciano doesn’t have it in him to complain; he guesses he has earned the nickname, after all.

The Stravaganza Series: An attempt at in-universe timeline (1/3)

PART 2 [X]

Eh, I know that the Stravaganza fandom on Tumblr (and pretty much anywhere else tbh) is quite non-existent, but, nevertheless, I wanted to share this surely excessive and probably unnecessary ramble/analysis concerning the actual timeline of the show, based on a series of notes I wrote last year, that where then conveniently forgotten in my HD until i remembered about them the other day.

I was inspired to write them down after noticing that events seems to be happening at a way faster pace in later books than in the first ones, so I wanted to verify it this was really the case (spoiler: it is). I also added information about various character’s birthdays and age during the series, as stated or implied from a variety of sources*.

Please note that my estimations are based on several fundamental assumptions, such as:

The day in which a saint is celebrated is the same in both worlds;

Easter is calculated with the same criteria (implying that moon phases are the same in both universes)

People in Talia are already using the Gregorian Calendar (despite the fact that it was adopted only in 1582, while the series ends in 1580). 

This said, let’s get started with the first part, covering the first two books!

CITY OF MASKS

Our universe time: from May 2002 to March 2003 (approx. 10 months).

Talian time: from May 16, 1577 (Marriage with the Sea) to March 8, 1588 (Last day of Carnevale) (approx. 10 months).

Ok, Let’s start with the years: Rodolfo tells Lucien that they are in 1577 during their first meeting, so that’s pretty much set. I don’t remember if the year in our universe is actually mentioned, but it can be inferred from what is said in latter books (it also matches the time the book was published).

Given that Lucien and Arianna are both 15 at the start of the book (turning 16** during the time gap between Arianna’s election and the Epilogue), we can deduce their birth year are, respectively, 1986 and 1561.

As for the exact days, we know that Marriage with the sea is celebrated on Ascension day, so 40 days after Easter. If we calculate Easter 1577 on the base of the aforementioned assumption, we get  7 April, so Ascension day is May 16. May 17 is the forbidden day, and it is also the day of Lucien’s first Stravagation to Talia (the last person to do so before him was Dr. Deathridge himself, who arrived in Bellona 24 years before, so around 1553).

Another important day is the Feast of the Maddalena, which we can assume takes place in the same day Mary Magdalene is  remembered in the saint calendar, 22 July. This makes sense if we take into account that the Maddalena is supposed to be reminiscent of Venice’s Redentore, which is celebrated in July as well. So, by the time the celebration rolls in, Lucien has at least two months of experience regarding Bellezza and its surroundings.

Now, I do  not have exact information about what happens next (i need to read CoM again), but I believe it is safe to say that all the other events from Maddalena onward (Lucien’s trip to Venice, Arianna’s incarceration, the murder in the Sala di Vetro, etc.) take place in at least three weeks/a month. In this case, Lucien’s death falls around late august/early September, and thus the main  plot of CoM takes about three months and a half to unfold. I know that there is a two-week time shift around Lucien’s death due to the gate instability, but I won’t go into detail as A) this would make things even more  complicated, and B) the phase shift eventually gets corrected, so let’s just forget about it.

CITY OF STARS (where things get complicated, thank you Falco -.-)

Our universe time: from late spring/early summer 2003 to 15/16*** September 2004 (approx. 1 year and 2-3 months).

Talian time: from early summer 1578 (Merla’s birth) to 15/16 September 1578 (Stellata di Falco) (approx. 3 months).

See  that huge-ass incongruence in the dates? Yeah, this time it won’t be easy.

Well, we know that the time shift happens right after Falco’s death,which in turn happens the day after the Stellata, on 16August 1578 (the day of Stellata is fixed, and is 15 August). As for when the book starts, we don’t have a precise date, but I believe we can safely put Merla’s  birth at least two months before the Stellata (this would still make her growth exceptional, if we consider that a horse’s weaning doesn’t happen before the fourth month).

So,what does this implies for the characters, age-wise?

For starters, we know from chapter 9 that Georgia is a Gemini. This means her birthday is between 21 May and 21 June. Given that we didn’t get any mention of her birthday since she started stravagating, we can assume**** she already celebrated it before going to Remora, and thus her  being 15 would mean that her birth year is 1988. This means that she is finishing year 10 at the start of the book, and that she is 16 and starting year 12 in the epilogue (which should be the case if the “exams” mentioned in the aforementioned epilogue are the GCSE, which is taken at the end of year 11).

For Arianna and Luciano, they are both 16, turning 17 after the epilogue. This means that, after the time shift, the age gap between Luciano and Georgia is less than a year, around 5/6 months (!). (So much for spending half of the remaining books fawning over Luciano-Senpai)

For the two di Chimici, Falco and Gaetano, we can play  it safe thanks to the dates on their family tree, as provided in the afterword. So, Flaco is 13/14 (we don’t know the exact birthday, but I sort of headcanon him as a Scorpio*****, so that would make him 13 at the time of the main events, and 14-soon-to-be-15 in the Epilogue). Gaetano is 17/18. We know from Falco’s story that his birthday is in summer, so we can assume that he just turned 18, or that he does so before the end of the book.

We also know that Benedetta, the brothers’ mom, died in 1577******, while Falco’s accident happened the year before, in 1576. Poor Falco, talk about traumas. 

this said, the vast majority of the plot takes place is about a couple of months, and,  again, this is sort of a reasonable time for the events to unfold (especially if you take into account that the whole, beautiful mess that is City of Flowers takes place in barely 6 weeks. But we’ll deal with it in part 2)

FOOTNOTES

*: most of which are now  basically gone, in particular: the official site and the promotional Facebook and Twitter accounts created to promote books 4-6.  Unfortunately, only part of said  page is retrievable via The Wayback Machine.

**: Arianna’s and Luciano’s birthdays were actually revealed in the aforementioned Facebook/Twitter pages,which are now unfortunately gone. As the only proof I have is my notes and my memories, I am pondering about trying to contact Mary Hoffmann herself and ask her about said dates, so to have a reliable  sources for my fanwanks. Btw, Arianna was born on  12 October 1561, while Luciano  was born on 22 november 1986.

***: I don’t think it was explicitly stated, but I believe that the time phase that happened after Falco’s death was completely cancelled by the time of the second Stellata. This would also make sense if we consider how Falco, now Nick, felt that he had to stravagate back once again, as if it was now safe for him to move across time and return to Talia in the day dedicated to his remembrance.

****: I know this is a bit of a stretch, but Hoffman is usually really coherent and precise on the  chronological integrity of her works , so I  refuse to believe that she intentionally had Georgia said she was a Gemini without mentioning any eventual upcoming birthday in a paragraph that was all about births and zodiac signs. I mean, that would be extra poor™️ writing and Hoffman can do better than that.

*****: look, we all know that there is only one sign who can realistically believe that dying twice and hopping through dimension is the way-to-go solution to all of your problems, together with “pretending to be a ghost to stop your murdeous parent by scaring the life out of them”. Gaetano is also totally a sweetheart Cancer, btw.

******: this would also  explain why we barely get to hear about the big powers in Giglia for most of City of Masks. They were busy mourning the death of their Duchess.

ANYWAY I LOVE THIS SERIES AND EVEN IF THIS TOOK ME FOREVER YOU SHOULD READ IT AND ALSO READ THE BOOKS!!

Guide to Getting Good Gloves this Winter

Good gloves are often worth the money. If you trust yourself not to lose a pair in a bar or leave them behind a cab, quality gloves -- particularly those made from leather -- will look better with age. One of my favorite style photos is this one of Luciano Barbera’s brown peccary gloves, which Scott Schuman shot for his site, The Sartorailist. Well worn and aged, they’ve acquired a patina over the years like a pair of good shoes. 

Reasonably nice gloves don’t have to be expensive either. You can pick up a pair for about $50 at almost any well-stocked department store. Some of my favorite gloves are a pair I bought almost ten years ago at Nordstom (they were part of the store’s house line, although no longer available). They lack the finer details of my more expensive gloves, but they make up for it in character. Once you wear a pair of gloves for a few years, they’ll become some of your best looking accessories. And while there’s a lot of wisdom in that Coco Chanel line about taking one thing off before you leave the house, practical accessories are a great way to add visual interest without seeming contrived. 

If you don’t already have a pair, here are five things to consider when shopping for some, as well as suggestions on worthwhile brands. 

Know Your Fit: There are some companies out there that can make you custom-fitted gloves, such as Chester Jefferies, but most people will be better served with off-the-rack pieces. The key is to know your size. Wrap a measuring tape around the widest part of your palm and the number in inches is your glove size. Most companies offer sizes in half-inch increments, but if you find yourself in-between sizes, go with the smaller fit. Gloves naturally stretch with time. 

Pay Attention to Materials: Skip anything made from acrylic -- they’re simply not that warm. Wool is worth the up-charge, so long as the knitting is dense. A bit better still is something in leather, but here you’ll want to pay attention to the different types of skins. Lambskin and kidskin are smooth and fine enough to pair with any kind of tailored clothing; peccary and carpincho are slightly textured looking, which I find gives a nice, distinct look against rustic fabrics such as tweed. Deerskin and buckskin, on the other hand, are heavily grained and often designed for more causal use. You'll typically want to use those with more rugged, workwear outfits, where a pair of fine lambskin gloves may not visually hold their own.

Choose a Lining that Fits Your Climate: There’s a trade-off here between warmth and silhouette. Unlined gloves fit closer to your hand, giving them a more svelte and, I think, flattering look. Fur-lined gloves, on the other hand, will keep your fingers toasty in the coldest of climates, but they can look like oven mitts. For something between these two worlds, consider gloves lined in silk, wool, or cashmere. I personally use unlined gloves for temperatures above 50 degrees, then cashmere-lined gloves for anything colder. 

Consider Color: Black and gray gloves can be great for outfits that mostly rely on black and gray, but otherwise, brown is your most versatile color. Your gloves don’t match your shoes, but they should complement your outfit, so think of the total look. Unusual colors, such as green, yellow, or navy, can also be a nice way to add a bit of a colorful eccentricity. If you, like me, favor texture over loud colors, try something in suede. Just note that suede will age in patchy and uneven ways, but that

Look at the Construction: Hand stitching can be nice on higher-end gloves if you value craft, but the biggest distinction is in how the fingers have been made. If the edges have been tucked in, such that the fingers have been sewn and then flipped inside out, you'll have a slightly slimmer silhouette. If the edges face outward, such that you can see the stitched seam from the outside, they'll look thicker. Some gloves will also have little diamond-shaped gussets, known as quirks, sewn between the fingers to aid movement. 

Where to Buy

As mentioned above, most people will be fine with just a single pair of gloves in mid- or dark-brown leather, which can found in almost any well-stocked department store for about $50. For something that’s a step up, check Dents and Hestra. They have a wide range of makes -- some handsewn, others machine made -- but they’re guaranteed to be constructed from quality materials. Aarch, Thomas Riemer, and Merola are also exceptional (better than some Dents and Hestras, depending on which sublines you’re comparing against). For the top-of-the-line, I’ve yet to come across anything as finely made as Lavabre Cadet, although you’ll pay for the quality. 

Many of those more versatile styles can worn with almost anything, but if you have a particular wardrobe, you may want to look elsewhere. Ah Okay sells contemporary styled gloves that would work well with similarly contemporary casualwear (I like their two-layer model). Red Wing and Dachstein Woolwear would be nice for rugged workwear. There are also a ton of companies selling well-made wool gloves of various designs, such as Drake’s, Upstate Stock, American Trench, Guideboat, Howlin’ by Morrison, Barbour, and J. Crew. I have a couple of pairs of fingerless wool gloves -- one pair navy, the other gray -- from Margaret Howell that I really like. Wool gloves look a bit more casual than leather, and they won’t acquire a patina, but they can be a great way to accessorize an outfit all the same.

The 2010s Have Broken Our Sense Of Time

This is one of those places you go for Instagram. The Manhattan Bridge looms, immediate and substantial, over a cobblestone street, framed on either side by a pair of old brick buildings; if you’re standing in the right spot, you can see the Empire State Building through one of the bridge’s uprights. Imagine a woman, young and ambivalent, staring into the middle distance, white sneakers aglow in the dawn, bridge overhead. This area of Brooklyn, once home to abandoned factories and warehouses, now hosts an annual festival for $3,000 German cameras.

A couple weeks ago in New Mexico, a few thousand people in suburban Albuquerque were waiting for the president, the one show we’re always watching.

The time between when you enter a Trump rally and when he finally concludes can be long. You might come in from a bright desert evening, as the crowd did that night, and exit into a pitch-black thunderstorm. In between, you wait for Trump, indoors, without windows, listening to the same 20 songs selected by Trump, from Tina Turner to Andrew Lloyd Webber — that are, like anything else selected by Trump, booming into your brain.

Eventually, to kill time, people at the Santa Ana Star Center did the wave. Seven thousand people rose and fell in red hats and T-shirts — to Luciano Pavarotti’s performance of “Nessun dorma” from a Puccini opera. People raised “Latinos for Trump” signs. A group of teens let out long Woooooooos. Pavarotti wailed in Italian. The wave continued right into the playlist’s next track, “Hey Jude.”

“Is there any place more fun and exciting,” the president asked later that night, “than a Trump rally?”

Trump inspires weird scenes like this from the lovers and haters alike. Pull up YouTube now and you can watch him perform a poem in different cities and in different years, sometimes in reading glasses and sometimes without, sometimes dedicated with cruelty and spite to Syrian refugees and sometimes to the US–Mexico border. Despite the provenance of “The Snake” (an R&B song from 1968), the lyrics have that Classic Tragedy vibe that matches Trump’s acid edge id. “‘Oh, shut up, silly woman,’ said the reptile with a grin,” goes the poem. “You knew damn well I was a snake before you let me in.”

He’s the man for a moment of algorithmic timelines.

But the algorithm didn’t used to rule all. Most of the basic experiences on our phones didn’t even exist 10 years ago. In 2010, Instagram launched and the messaging app WhatsApp came to both Android and iOS; in 2011, Snapchat opened for business and Spotify came to the US; in 2013, the workplace chat system Slack launched. When Pew first began collecting data on the subject in 2011, 35% of US adults owned smartphones; in 2019, 81% do. Here at the decade’s end, there are 1 billion global Instagram users.

The early part of the decade was about building the systems. And though Twitter preceded this decade, the platform came to political and cultural prominence in the 2010s. Initially, information flowed in chronological order, unfiltered, strictly concise, and mostly from strangers, which distinguished the platform from the more insular and curated Facebook. During the 2012 election, Barack Obama’s presidential campaign formalized a kind of faux-intimate voice — personal messages, initialed by the candidate — that retained a corporate distance. But that kind of fakery couldn’t hold; as the decade progressed and platforms like Twitter shifted from novel experiences into assumed foundations for business, media, and culture, the nature of what we put into the platforms also changed.

This isn’t contained to Twitter: The internet has finally and firmly moved from being an obscure gathering for nerds to the foundation for most communication. Linguist Gretchen McCulloch traces that history in Because Internet, her recent book that is particularly interested in the different waves of users — people who started using email at work in the ’90s, for instance, or millennials who grew up chatting on instant messaging apps — and how those platforms or users have affected language. These generational differences can manifest in small but familiar ways; McCulloch explores why people who are long accustomed to chat and text use line breaks for timing and emphasis, and intuit information left unsaid in an ellipsis. (Hey are you around…) She contends that a younger generation of users over the last decade, who’ve never known an internet without Facebook or YouTube, have turned to a phone experience that emphasizes control over context: disappearing messages, live video, using second and third accounts for specialization and privacy.

As the 2010s went on, the platforms adopted the live and the disappearing and attempted to reach you with what you care about most — to make the experience less disorienting by focusing on what garners the most attention. During the 2016 election, Instagram added the ephemeral stories and shifted to an algorithmic timeline. “If your favorite musician shares a video from last night’s concert, it will be waiting for you when you wake up, no matter how many accounts you follow or what time zone you live in,” reads the corporate unveiling, a cheerful promise of permanent detachment from the clock in favor of what you (are thought to) care about.

Twitter had built its business on the ordered timeline, but it too introduced algorithmic weighting that same spring. “Someday soon, the tweets you see will be a little more interesting, and the tweets you miss won’t be as important,” a former Twitter employee wrote at the time. “And guess what: You won’t even notice. You won’t! You think you will, but you won’t.”

The new Twitter feed transformed how a user perceived something going viral; while a viral tweet used to get a few thousand retweets, it would now get tens of thousands — or even hundreds of thousands — of retweets. Powered by the new algorithmic weighting, the platform’s new quote-tweet function further turned Twitter into an ever-escalating, ever-nesting series of warring comments, dunks, and owns. Memes take hold, then disappear. One link of breaking news might hang suspended in your feed, hurtling through time like when astronauts do zero-gravity somersaults. You might see this as it happens — or 6, 9, 15, 22 hours later.

Trump’s racism, excess, nihilism, humor, and all the rest make him the ideal host for such a system — destroying forever that antiseptic corporate voice. But what Trump does best is reveal the nature of people and institutions. Even when Trump is gone, we’ll still have the algorithms; whether it’s that track from 2009 crossing from TikTok to Spotify, or a politician going live on Instagram, or whatever is happening on your phone right now — we’ve already adapted, and the next thing will be built on that shifting foundation.

Change like this can be overwhelming. The first run of Black Mirror, the dystopian British show that rose and fell inside Netflix, featured an episode about the relentless fragments that people now accumulate. Filmed in 2011, “The Entire History of You” takes an existing technology (the archival breadth of our phones), applies the logical conclusion (in the episode, people receive implants to track their every interaction for later playback), and sets both against a simple Greek tragedy–style story (a husband suspects his wife has betrayed him, and is driven mad by jealousy). The wife, hair over her eyes like a veil, reaches up to replay her memories for her husband.

Even in 2011, the episode presaged the now ever-present dialogue about cutting back, dropping out, and disconnecting: At a dinner, the table marvels at a woman who, without regret, has risked her memory and her eyesight to remove her implant.

The dynamic of overload and disorientation, and the final cathartic break from them, isn’t isolated to Black Mirror — it’s a dominant theme of the last five years of culture.

In real life, in the wake of the election, Facebook, Twitter, Google, and Instagram have talked about screentime limits, mute functions, preventing harassment and abuse — clawing back control. How to Do Nothing, Jenny Odell’s case for reasserting yourself in the tangible world, has become the centerpiece for essays and takes about cutting back and seeing, again, reality free from the algorithmic commodification of the personal. There are the essays about quitting Twitter, or the inherent avarice of Instagram, or reclaiming the life beyond the external presentation of self.

But people always seem to come back.

“This watch tells time,” begins a recent ad for the Apple Watch that then lists off all the other non-time-telling functions the item can do, from taking phone calls to playing music to performing an eletrocardiogram, before looping back around one last time at the end to say “This watch tells time.”

The introduction of this watch (that tells time) in 2015 deepened a kind of existential dilemma for the other kind of watches, which merely tell time. What purpose does a machine serve when the commodity that machine produced is all around us? “Why Men Are Wearing Watches That Don’t Tell Time,” read a Wall Street Journal headline a few years ago, like a riddle, above an old black-and-white photo of Andy Warhol wearing a Swatch.

Some men, the Journal reported, buy vintage mechanical watches but never get them serviced or repaired, or even wind them — they simply leave the watches dead. Stories like this can’t apply to that many people, but even if it’s just one man, somewhere right now, he walks this earth with a beautiful, broken watch.

Over the last decade, there have been little niche resurgences for items like this: record players, for instance, which promise tangible craftsmanship, and an audio experience that can’t be replicated in the digital. For $41.98, you can buy a lime green vinyl copy of Lana Del Rey’s new album and listen to her describe the end of the world and promise that she’s signing off before whispering at the very last moment “I hope the livestream’s almost on…” in perfect offline clarity. It’s hard to shake, however, the idea that these machines are simply counting off something that no longer needs counting, and trying to reassert the physicality of something no longer physical, detached and distinct from where all things meet.

We all know what’s changed — what’s really happened in the 2010s. It’s beneath that bridge in Brooklyn and it’s at the Trump rally in New Mexico, where exiting fans stopped to take selfies with the president speaking behind them in the distance. The man with the broken watch knows, the people who can’t quit know, and so does Lana Del Rey: The internet is no longer a place you go. Who we are on the phone and in the walking world have merged.

This is why algorithmic time is so disorienting and why it bends your mind. Everything good, bad, and complicated flows through our phones, and for those not living some hippie Walden trip, we operate inside a technological experience that moves forward and back, and pulls you with it. Using a phone is tied up with the relentless, perpendicular feeling of living through the Trump presidency: the algorithms that are never quite with you in the moment, the imperishable supply of new Instagram stories, the scrolling through what you said six hours ago, the four new texts, the absence of texts, that text from three days ago that has warmed up your entire life, the four versions of the same news alert. You can find yourself wondering why you’re seeing this now — or knowing too well why it is so. You can feel amazing and awful — exult in and be repelled by life — in the space of seconds. The thing you must say, the thing you’ve been waiting for — it’s always there, pulling you back under again and again and again. Who can remember anything anymore? ●

FNB Maties run rampant in late charge against FNB CUT

It took FNB Maties more than an hour, but they eventually ran in eight tries to the two of FNB CUT, scoring a convincing win of 50-15 against the home side in the Varsity Cup.

FNB Maties fullback, Anton du Toit, with a personal tally of 22 points, scored an amazing four tries and one conversion, and was deservedly crowned “FNB Player that Rocks” for his efforts.

Up to the final quarter of the match, FNB CUT were still hanging in there, highly competitive against their highly rated opponents.

This win sees FNB Maties consolidating their lead at the top of the Varsity Cup log, taking home a valuable bonus point in an away match. During the final 17 minutes, the emotive home crown were stunned into shocked silence, as the Maroon Machine ran in four of their tries, of which one was a seven-pointer from inside their own 22. Flyhalf Reinhardt Fortuin scored two tries himself, rounding off an excellent match of opportunistic play and superb attacking skills.

Some defensive errors on FNB CUT’s side saw FNB Maties crash through their defensive line, allowing the visitors to run long-distance attacks into the FNB CUT red zone.

Varsity Cup Scores FNB CUT: 15 Tries: Anrich Alberts (2) Conversion:  Heinrich Bitzi Penalty: Heinrich Bitzi

FNB Maties: 50 Tries: Anton du Toit (4), Luciano Elias (2), Chris Smit, Edwill vd Merwe Conversions: Adriaan vd Bank (2), Reinardt Fortuin, Anton du Toit

The Ark Cruise Festival Announce Two Cruises & Full Lineup For 2018

111 DJs - 4 stage hosts - 2 voyages From 30/08 - 03/09 and from 03/09 - 07/09 As the 2018 edition gets ever closer, THE ARK is now revealing the whole of its impressive line-up, featuring 111 DJs over four stages hosted by 15 leading dance brands. The names on the line-up are completely different for both departures (from August 30th to September 3rd and September 3rd to 7th) thereby allowing you to chose the one that best suits you this summer, and each one is a mix of established names and young talents featuring a mix of names such as Booka Shade, Loco Dice, Faithless (DJ set), Nastia, Patrick Topping, Luciano, Nic Fancuilli, Andrea Oliva, Miguel Campbell, Camelphat, Claptone, Yousef  and many many more. More than ever in 2018, THE ARK is focusing on a 'mature sound', so a wide selection of electronic music genres are addressed, with extra attention to house and deep-house. These styles perfectly match the intimate club spirit of the four different stages spread across the stunning Vision of the Seas cruise ship, including an impressive open air stage on the upper deck around the pool. Those who opt for the first sailing will be presented with names such as Booka Shade, Camelphat, Claptone, Nic Fanciulli and Patrick Topping. All of these big name house tastemakers not only dominate the turntables but also the charts, such as Cameplhat with 'Cola' and Claptone with 'No Eyes'.  Best to these, there is also room for a heavy dose of retro with none other than Sister Bliss, the ravishing DJ behind the Faithless hit machine. She makes her appearance for a 'Faithless DJ Set'. There will also be a lot of  Belgian DJ stars on board including Buscemi, Sven van Hees and Yves Deruyter and 'young gods' like Curtis Alto and Sem Thomasson. Passengers who opt for the second sailing will be served by DJs like Adriatique, Art Department, Dada Life, Loco Dice, Luciano and THE ARK’s very own Henri PFR. These are assisted by 'hit machines' such as Fatman Scoop and Infinity Ink, and here too, the Belgian sound is well represented with John Noseda, Kenn Colt, Mystique, Neon, TLP, and more. The ARK consists of more than just parties for this sensational 2018 edition: good food and drink, sport and relaxation, beauty and wellness and discovering the ports and islands where the ship will moor are also an integral part of the experience. Our special guest chefs, mixologists and yoga instructors will be announced next week to add even more temptation to the trips. Ticket prices start from €149 per person for the shortest package of 2 days / 1 night and from €649 per person for the basic package of 5 days / 4 nights.

IVAN PERISIC showed why Jose Mourinho desperately wants him – as Chelsea suffered another pre-season blow. Manchester United are trying to get Perisic for the pace and finishing that led to the decisive goal at the National Stadium in Singapore. Inter Milan proved much too strong for Chelsea in SingaporeAFPThibaut Courtois saved Stevan Jovetic’s penalty, but couldn’t stop the reboundReutersThe Croatia winger added to Stevan Jovetic’s opener and Geoffrey Kondogbia scored one of the all-time great own goals to pull one back. But this has been a poor second leg of Antonio Conte’s tour of Asia. The Italian keeps saying he needs more players and this defeat – along with the result against Bayern Munich earlier in the week – shows why. It was Chelsea’s last game before next week’s curtain-raiser at Wembley in the Community Shield. And it looks like record signing Alvaro Morata will be on the left flank against Arsenal. That is where the Spaniard started in this defeat, with Michy Batshuayi the central striker up front.

It seems like a bonkers decision to leave the club’s main striker feeding off scraps – and Chelsea certainly struggled to make chances.

Nothing looked on when he approached the penalty area and Azpilicueta backed off – but he angled a lovely drive into the far corner. Chelsea were given a lifeline when Kondogbia was under pressure from Charly Musonda and managed to lob his keeper from 45 yards.

“The objective of this session is not to conduct a show trial. We want to learn some lessons.”    

What happens when something goes wrong? Who holds us accountable?  On 15 October 2015, as part of an inquiry into ‘The collapse of Kids Company’, Camila Batmanghelidjh and Alan Yentob gave evidence to The Public Administration and Constitutional Affairs Committee.  Hadley Fraser, Josie Rourke and composer Tom Deering have transformed that evidence session into a new musical.

This production has not been authorised by any participant or Parliament. We present it to you – the public – to consider how civic life in the UK is really governed.

It is based on the Parliamentary transcript of the oral evidence session on 15 October 2015 and the words spoken by those participating in the Inquiry.

Making theatre accessible to as many people as possible remains at the heart of the Donmar’s mission. Committee... (A New Musical) has KLAXON tickets available throughout the run: a new allocation of tickets, starting from £10, put on sale every Monday for performances in the following three weeks.

The Donmar’s YOUNG+FREE scheme, which provides free tickets to those aged 25 and under, will also continue throughout the Power Season, with releases for tickets at the end of every month. YOUNG+FREE is made possible thanks to donations from Donmar audiences via PAY IT FORWARD.
