Land Girls

I am one of those people that need to take a break while studying from time to time. Normally I watch different TV-show for that reason, and right now I study really, really hard.

Obviously, I wanted to watch something vintage-related. The famous "Mad Men" appeared a little boring for my taste as I like strong women characters. Instead I was given an advice to try Land Girls, BBC costume series about, well, land girls, women conscripted to work on the land during World War II. The plot is very entertaining (even if a little bit cliched). I know that their costumes aren't always historically correct but oh god their hairstyles! I'm in love!

Of course I'm not only watching it because of their 'dos. Maybe just a little. Anyway, the characters are wonderful, very realistic and detailed. It really makes you feel passionate about girls' destinies. Besides, the whole soul of époque is unbelievable!

What are your favorite costume movies and series?

I made some screen capes that you can see under the cut. I tried (and hopefully succeeded) not to spoil anything if you decide to watch it. :)

Wild geese

You do not have to be good.

                                                                           You do not have to walk on your knees

for a hundred miles through the desert repenting.

You only have to let the soft animal of your body

love what it loves.

Tell me about despair, yours, and I will tell you mine.

Meanwhile the world goes on.

Meanwhile the sun and the clear pebbles of the rain

are moving across the landscapes,

 over the prairies and the deep trees,

the mountains and the rivers.

Meanwhile the wild geese, high in the clean blue air,

are heading home again.

Whoever you are, no matter how lonely,

the world offers itself to your imagination,

calls to you like the wild geese, harsh and exciting

over and over announcing your place

in the family of things.
