Aside from "It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown," one of my favourite Halloween tv moments comes from Cheers when Frasier and Lilith come to the bar on Halloween dressed in their costumes. When no one knows who they are, Frasier declares indignantly, "I'm Dante Gabriel Rossetti!" Lilith is dressed as his sister Christina Rossetti. In keeping with the odd Halloween associations that exist, in all likelihood, only in my mind, this week's site has a Pre-Raphaelite theme. It's not terribly funny but it's an interesting "edu-tainment" site that accompanies an exhibit on the Pre-Raphaelites called Waking Dreams. We're planning to go to it in December. There is one funny thing about this site and I'm not sure if this is funny ha-ha or funny odd but Elizabeth Siddal, Jane Morris and Fanny Cornforth all have MySpace pages. It's pretty cool to think about IM-ing Elizabeth Siddal. I wonder what kind of conversations we'd have. Maybe:
Heidi writes: Hey Lizzie, what's up?
LizzieSiddal writes: Not much. Am feeling sort of glum.
Heidi writes: Drag.
LizzieSiddal writes: Yeah. :(
