So, last night I curled up and watched Moulin Rouge, one of my favourite films ever, and as per it got me thinking about living in another time. Could there be a place more exciting and magical than Montmarte in the 1890s? A place all about expressing artistic talents, being free to be whomever you wanted, where sex and drinking were all part of the expectations. I know the film only shows that time in an exaggerated way but the clothes amaze me, the corsets and stockings, the sex and love is intriguing and forbidden and the drinking of absinthe makes me wish I could have seen it with my own eyes. I believe in some kinds of magic, that is one kind I believe in, and if I could choose to live in any other time, that would have been it.
