Holsby, I don't swing much anymore. Although, with the right music, I am likely to "bust a move" or two whilst seated in my wheelchair. My high school boyfriend and I used to occasionally get a crowd of people around us to watch our dancing.

I’ll be your twin, Sferics!Thank you! I was searching like for ever and did not find any proper pic!
Now I think I have to buy it
As I have no scarves with dancers, I am off topic with my SOTD, new to me Le Jardin de la Maharani (maybe the animals on the border are doing a line dance?).
Bunnycat, we are fraternal twins with Cosmos, as I have the same cw, except it’s plissed (I posted it yesterday). The carre is so pretty on you. Seeing your Cosmos carre and Croisette 7’s Belles du Mexique carres, of which I also have a plisse in a red cw, makes it clear to me that had I the choice of carre or plisse in these designs, I’d have had some serious decision-making to do! Because I love plisses and the casual way they can be worn, but the design often is submerged in the pleats. The carre, OTOH, can often look more dressy but one gets to revel in the beauty of the design details. Not regretting my plisses at all, however
.
Hello twin!
It also ties nicely as a casual tie too in the 90:
Very nice!very casual look, linen shirt and CS shawl
Awooo t
Oh, Fizzy! Now that gives me yet another criterion to ponder when wishy-washying on this design
Methinks you are right
There's no clash. I don't turn into a zombie. This mid-tone brown just makes both me and the silk look meh. Perhaps I'll try it with a red collared shirt to pick up the red accents and distance it from my face. The few brown vintage scarves I bought - now those I really need to rehome because that shade of brown is really not me. I should do a spread of the varying browns I have.
It plays so nicely with the color & stripes of that topvery casual look, linen shirt and CS shawl
Awooo t
Yes! I am a total sucker for illustrated horses & adorable critters (I can use that word since I live in the South)
I appreciate you noticing that little detail- I thought the fox needed a snowhare for company
I appreciate the kindnesses, all!
Wiw. What a magnificent colorway of this iconic design!
They certainly are... and I’m your twin on this lovely scarf!
Such a great way to knot it. Is that a Mors ring at the bottom?
@ElainePG Yes, it’s my first time using a Mors ring (and @Cookiefiend gets the credit for the knot!).
I'm going East today for dancing
When I was an itty-bitty girl, I worked in a souvenir shop. Amongst the goods on sale were a series of silk paintings showing dancers from China's minority tribes. While packing house for my mum's move earlier in June, I came across the two I purchased all those years ago.
This dancer from the Yi tribe wears a pleated skirt. This tribe hails from the same general vicinity as the Miao tribe, so I'm not surprised that their skirts look an awful lot like the one in Cents Plis de Miao.
The other painting is of a dancer from the Tibetan tribe. Do you notice those flowing sleeves? There is a whole school of Chinese dance technique based on (literally translated) "water sleeves". As the dancer twirls, the flowing fine fabric will ripple like water. You can see the similar long sleeves in the two dancers in Galop Volant.
Dancing needs music. I'm sure these musical apsaras in Nikko are swaying along with the tunes from their lute and dizi.
And geishas of course undergo training in all the fine arts, including dance. Yes! I bought a grail this year!
