@homehouselondon where every inch provides evidence of the #history of Britain’s greatest #dandizettes #dandies & #eccentrics - from 1770 when #ladymontagu ( Queen of the Blues as #LordByron christened her) moved her #hillstreet #salon to the #regency splendour of the Adams brothers #portmansquare - the area became the centre of #bluestocking london ⚜️ her salon attracted the leading #thinkers #artists & business leaders of the age including the composer & dandy Ignatius Sancho ( born on a slave ship he became the toast of Mayfair, a dandy of such celebrity even the king could hum his dance tunes! Sancho’s moving firsthand accounts of #slavery in his abolitionist essays inspired my own ancestor #danieloconnell of #albermarlestreet to put an end to #slavery throughout the #empire in 1833 ⚜️ Ignatius composed the musical backdrop of Regency England - rubbing shoulders in Portman Square with the the owner of @couttsbank #gainsborough #lawrencesterne #angelicakauffman et al ⚜️ sitting in the lift in 2019 with @John davidgusman @highfashionhockey evokes 1909 & the #uxurious #samualcourtauld founder of the @courtauld who had this #bespoke lift installed when his wife became infirm - he #handcrafted the seat himself - lovingly ensuring her comfort ⚜️ The secrets of eccentrics past are embroidered throughout the the Regency majesty of @homehouselondon @velveteccentric (at Home House) https://www.instagram.com/p/BtmUkRlAOmz/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=xlxw5cnzbiqd

It's in the Air multi-chapter WIP by @emmilynestill​ - December 23, 2016. It’s Mayor Queen’s first holiday party and love is in the air. No, wait, that’s tension in the air. Bitterness. Regret. Painful longing for one’s former love. Awkward interactions with current significant others. A little humiliation mixed in. Yup, this was one great party. Then the gas came. Maybe love was in the air Afterall. Just my usual lock Oliver and Felicity in a room with a mind-altering substance with a dash of holiday magic thrown in. And, by magic, I mean Sex Pollen. And maybe a little Truth Serum to stir things up. https://archiveofourown.org/works/21552481

We Ended as Lovers multi-chapter WIP by @smkkbert​ - Three years ago, Felicity’s life was perfect. She was offered a job at two great companies.

#LadyMontagu #18yy 'da tüm Avrupa'yı geçmiş, #İstanbul 'da yaşamış, türkçe öğrenmiş, dönerken Kuzey Afrika'yı da gezmiş. #21yy 'da #arkyayinlari bu kısa kitapta typosuz tek bir sayfa bile basamamış, türk dili çevirisini de en dikkatsiz çevirmene yaptırmış. 300 yıl geriye gitsek yine toparlayamadan geliriz bugüne... Lady Montagu bize hayran ama bizim kendimize hayrımız yok...

The #inkyscribe of #mountstreetgardens - I have spent my life living in a 4th floor walk up on #MountStreet #Mayfair opposite these gardens where I find repose with a #book & dream of history wearing my antique @Asprey tiara in what was once the #graveyard of St George’s Church #hanoversquare until 1842 when, following my #ancestor #danieloconnell #kingofireland successfully passing the #catholicemancipation Act 1829 & The #abolitionofslavery Act 1833 enabling the Jesuits to buy land in Mayfair & began building London’s high society Catholic Church so beloved by #OscarWilde #Edithsitwell & #evelynwaugh all of whom sought conversion here. The gardens were the graveyard for #Mayfair #aristocracy #writers #artists #composers #fashiondesigners & #eccentrics - including composer #ignatiussancho who was Born on a #slave ship & liberated by #LadyMontagu ⚜️Sancho became the toast of #Regency #society as composer & #dandy & close friend of our first black #queen - the Eccentric #QueenCharlotte ⚜️ Sancho & Queen Charlotte were both painted by #Gainsborough but whilst Sancho was painted black & the queen’s features were depicted as #African her skin was painted white💜 The gravestones were incorporated into the gardens & the gardens #haunted by the #ghosts of the #Eccentrics #authors & #artists of #Mayfairs #history from #handel & #fannyburney to #nancymitford ⚜️if you need repose from the grandeur of #fashionisart @londonfashionweek @pamhoggfashion @fashion4relief @fashionscout @malanbreton @londonfashionweek2019 take a seat amongst the ghosts of Mayfair past 1630-1842 ⚜️🥂🍾⚜️photograph @muirvidler (at Mount Street Gardens) https://www.instagram.com/p/B2bsOfOAX6g/?igshid=16taja0rmpwt5
