I’m going to kind of be rocking Sexy Ayn Rand, y’all, because the only dress shoes I have passable for less-than-modern are peeptoe heels.

Anonymous asked: Late to this, but here it goes.

After the deluge.
That was a lot of posts, sorry, was cleaning off desktop. I also posted a lot of Eyresses stuff and some Beestings! Later I’m updating the Sarah grant site! First, crosswords, though.
