Hello. I'm writer Antoinette Beard... WOO-HOO-HOO!!! The mid 1800s to the mid 1900s were a sensual, bizarre, slightly wicked time of quaintness and blossoming industry. Keep scrolling after the posts for much weird info and wonky photos. Also, use the "Search Box" for even more quirky fascinations. Outwardly, Victorians were strait-laced, but always there are those who flaunt society's conventions!!!... ADULT CONTENT, --- naturally, Darlings. ;)

"Feed The Birds," ~ From "Mary Poppins"...
***PLEASE be kind to pigeons... They're not vermin. In their own way, they're beautiful, with their irridescent soft gray feathers. I have a feeling that they're the descendants of the brave meessage carrier pigeons of WWI. Just leave them alone. Please, don't hurt them. ...Thanks.

Sweeny Todd, ~ The Demon Barber Of Fleet Street...
Sweeney Todd is a fictional character who first appeared as the villain of the penny dreadful serial "The String of Pearls" (1846–1847). The original tale became a feature of 19th-century melodrama and London legend. A barber from Fleet Street, Todd murders his customers with a straight razor and gives their corpses to Mrs. Lovett, his partner in crime, who bakes their flesh into meat pies. The tale has been retold many times since in various media.
Claims that Sweeney Todd was a historical person are disputed strongly by scholars, although possible legendary prototypes exist. ~ "Wikpedia".
