red tights

note to self: must get red tights













netflix just added a few jeremy brett sherlock holmes movies to watch instantly. you know i can't get enough of that stuff. victorian mysteries with the best set design and costumes and shot design and cinematography. the master blackmailer in particular is very pretty. and jeremy brett is by far the best sherlock holmes ever. he is the ruler against which all other holmes should be measured.
aside from the above red tights, that movie also features this perfect victorian equstrienne costume, complete w tiny tilt top hat and skinny necktie. maybe my favorite mode of dress in history..



that skinny tie really kills me.
