Iseult

Can you tell me where I can shop for authentic 1920s clothes and accessories? (I mean not too expensively.)

Thanks!

I'm looking for accommodation for my London staying and I've found something in Harrow, but I'm not sure how safe this suburban area is.

Can you help me?

I'd be there in winter when days are shorter.

I'm spending my birthday in London, and I'm looking for a hotel, that serves traditional five o'clock tea complete with sandwiches and biscuits. I wonder how much this fancy would cost me. (I don't plan to stay in a fancy hotel, but I'd like to have this traditional experience in a relatively fancy place.)

Please suggest me a place to have my traditional 5 o'clock tea, and tell me how much this would cost me approximately.

Thank you for your help very much.

I have a male friend. He's very shy, he has absolutely no self-esteem. He's even left handed. He wants to know how to communicate easily with anyone and how to gather a circle of friends for himself. He works in a factory where he can't really talk to people about his interests.

Do you have any tips?

I suggested him to find a technique that he finds appealing but he doesn't really do anything about it. How could I help him?

Because of his low self-esteem he doesn't want to get to know my university friends.

I would like to ask you to describe me Schuyler van Alen from The Blue Bloods series. I need her outlook description and her inner qualities as well. Anything you could tell me I'd love to hear. Thanks!

I'm looking for websites where ordinary people publish their own meditation texts. A couple of years ago I came across such a site but I can't find it anymore and I didn't bookmark it either.

I'm thinking of the kind of meditation where you transport yourself to a forest for example, and you meet someone there and ask your questions, etc.

I'd be grateful for your help.

I wonder how long does it take for a non-native speaker to pick up some kind of accent of English.

I want to take my character back to 1920s America via time travel. I want him to meet a smuggler who was not so famous as Al Capone but who managed to achieve a luxury lifestyle. Do you have any ideas who should my character meet? I'm not at home in the gangster world of America in the 1920s. Thanks for your help!

I'm writing a story in which there's this character who's mad about antiques. He doesn't only collect them but also uses them in his everyday life. Well, at least, I plan him to do so. I wonder if he wanted to eat his soup with a Victorian silver spoon what did it take to do so? Imagine, for decades that Victorian spoon had been scrubbed with various disinfectants and the likes. What my character needs to do so that he could eat his soup with that silver spoon without risking his health?

When you've passed your Standard Grades in May at the age of 16, do you continue going to school till the end of term (first week of July) or you don't go to school after passing your exams?

This question is about Scottish educational system.

I have an old photograph of a woman with the words portrait de visite written under it. What is it? What was it used for? Is it a special thing?

I'm looking for an experienced scuba diver who could help me make a scene in a work of fiction authentic.

I'd like to know the correct pronunciation of the word Gwithian. It's a Cornish place name Gwithian Beach.

I'm looking for the source of this quote attributed to William Carlos Williams. Where can you find this? Is it from an interview? Is it from some of his essays or autobiography? Please, help me!

"But all art is sensual and poetry particularly so. It is directly, that is, of the senses, and since the senses do not exist without an object for their employment all art is necessarily objective. It doesn't declaim or explain, it presents."

I'm looking for European and American contemporary poets who have poems written about paintings. I'm writing an essay on William Carlos Williams' poems written about Brueghel's paintings and I also want to list some contemporary poets who write poems about paintings that are not by Brueghel!!! It is important cos I already have a section on poets writing about Brueghel paintings. Do you know any European or American poets who write poems about paintings? Let me know. Include both the poet's name and the title of the poem!!!!

I'm writing an essay on William Carlos Williams' poems written based on Brueghel paintings. I'd like to discuss what brought these two artists together through space and time. I wonder what do YOU think. (You may have something in your mind that wouldn't cross mine.)

I wonder where's Vanessa Bell's or William Carlos Williams' family now. Do they have living descendants? What are they doing? Are they artists, too? What are their names? I'd also be interested in any artists (painters, sculptors, writers, etc.) who lived in the Victorian or Modernist era. Add your favourites!

Hello,

I'm writing an essay about the visual approach in William Carlos Williams' poetry. I'll deal with the poems describing Brueghel's paintings from the Pictures from Brueghel volume. To show how the paintings are transferred into the poetry I'd need to get familiar with the visual theory. Any good books you know that I could use? It should be something light, not too deep. Just to get a feel of the idea. Thanks!

I'm looking for Viking themed PC games in hidden object, puzzle or adventure cathegories that come with a 60 mins free trial.

I love playing hidden object games. I think they are not only great as games but also an excellent way of improving your vocab if you're not a native speaker. Now I'd like to improve my French vocab with hidden object games but unfortunately I have no idea what do you call hidden object games in French. If you could suggest me sites where I can download a 60 mins free trial of French hidden object games I'd be grateful for that, too. Thanks!
