This was my SOTD today... one of my most recent purchases that I’ve been dying to wear so I took it for an inaugural spin: Plaza de Toros. And, it’s perfect for this week’s theme because I detest bullfighting and wrestled with the thought of owning anything related to it. To me it’s inhuman and barbaric. My grandfather and great grandparents were Spanish, but all from northern Spain where there is not a bullfighting tradition, and they all hated it. But, I’ve been on a mission to collect as many Spanish-themed Hermes scarves because of my heritage, thus my decision to get this design. I already have an orange and red one and thought I was done until I saw this amazing CW and had to have it. I love the fuchsia, aqua and other bright colors. I hide the bulls, poor horses, toreadors and picadors and focus on the gorgeous borders featuring traditional tassel decorations. The first two pics are of my new scarf and the third is of the first one.

PdT has some truly dynamite colorways and I’ve been tempted numerous times, but always desist based on your reasoning. If I had Spanish ancestry, one of these (especially this luscious cw) would probably be in my stash.
It looks gorgeous on you. :heart:
 
Gorgeously creepy wee beasties! I always feel bad for the kitty, but as least he looks well fed.


Definitely Kafka-esque!
Also, I’d hate to get smacked with that flying fish (I’ve seen leaping/flying fish hit unsuspecting boaters); that’d definitely leave a mark!


I didn’t know the backstory on Turandot; seems so serene... eeek!
Your bold collex always knocks me out :loveeyes:



It’s beautiful on you! I love it’s boldness and the flowy way you’ve tied it reminds me of candy corn- perfect for Halloween eve. :yes:
Indeed! :giggle:
I didn't think I had any scary scarves, but @Cookiefiend inspired me to revsit my ocean-themed silks for spooky sea creatures. And look who I found lurking in Grands Fonds

MR. LIONFISH!!! :panic: :panic: :panic:

Now, according to Dr. Google, lionfish are venomous, not poisonous, so if you happen to (accidentally? how?????) eat one, you'll be fine. But having an encounter with the spines will leave you with a very uncomfy rash and painful blisters, or even worse, if you're allergic. So be careful.

:giggle: I burst out laughing - but yes! Mr Lionfish! Scary! :giggle: (Also :panic:)

I get it - and we thank you for sharing with us.
We can’t change the past, but we can improve for today and tomorrow. :heart:
 
So appealing!! (Yet, I must resist)


What a fab’ way to optimize the scare factor! You mentioned stylized meteors... I swear that Disney World’s Space Mountain roller coaster projected images of giant chocolate chip cookies on the ceiling as meteors for years!! :lol:


Honestly never noticed the window man- I’ve always been beguiled by the horse :blush:

I can share les Insectes- creepy crawlers that kinda stay hidden in the pleats, so maybe not that scary? Sharing a stock photo to better show off the silk infestation...
That is WAY creepy! You are a braver woman than me :)

On-theme today with my Halloween colored Cheval a la Couverture CSGM. (Plus the horsie is in costume! And looks kinda creepy!)

This is a purchase that I've come to regret and have only worn once. I'm planning to rehome it but at least I can share it once here.

It's those eye holes again! (It looks baboon though but I understand. You know when you know that it just isn't going to work out....)

Lionfish definitely works for this week!

The pink and yellow is luscious together!​
 
No scarf today as I'm in bed with the flu. Well, there's always fever dreams to put some horror in my favorite scarves :angel:
Mum didn't vet the comics I read when I was a kid. I think she was just happy that we liked to read. So some of the titles were of the Twilight Zone variety. One story told of a young man who wanted to emulate Bellerophon. He laid in wait at the fabled spring and jumped on the flying horse when it came to drink. Unfortunately, he forgot that Bellerophon had a golden bridle to tame Pegasus. The flying horse flew uncontrolled into the mountains and bucked him off atop a nest of newly hatched foals who made a gory meal of him.
The tale made a strong impression on me and I did some research into Pegasus' diet :smartass: Nope, didn't find anything. Figured the person who wrote the plot borrowed from the many folktales of demon horses, and the bloody birth of Pegasus who sprang forth from the blood spilt by Medusa's decapitation.

:amazed: I probably shouldn’t have read this just before going to bed...:wtf: :death:

(Not quite the ‘To Ride Pegasus’ that I remember Anne McCaffery writing about...)
And to keep it on H, here is an old picture of Pegase Pop which for some unknown reason is upside down.
