I loved all the in-jokes and callouts to previous episodes in Something Lighter… Please. There was Bing having to stop himself from saying hi to Charlotte, Lizzie saying Jane was busy doing something “super important”, and of course snickerdoodles.
I also liked the callout to ep. 70 (New Jane) in Jane’s dress. That episode included a link to 8000Nerves for people who wanted to pay $123 for Jane’s blue dress. I don’t see a green or sleeveless version there, but the fabric pattern of today’s is so similar that I have to think the reference was intentional.

Les Secrets.
Reblogging myself to add the source: This is The Gallery of H.M.S. Calcutta (Portsmouth) by James Tissot, painted in 1877 or thereabouts.
I liked it when it came through my dash the first time, so I reblogged it then, but didn’t research it further. But yesterday I went to the Getty in L.A. with my wife, my son, and our friend Joanie, and among the paintings that really struck me there was one by Tissot. In looking up more information on the artist I spotted a thumbnail of this painting and remembered reblogging it.
Small world! Or at least, it is when you’re interested in 19th century paintings of fancy dresses and boats.
