Fopperies & Frivolities

@jackviolet / jackviolet.tumblr.com

Twitter A lady living in Philadelphia; an occasional artist; an enthusiastic but unskilled cook; a vintage lover; an aspiring crafter. Things that make my heart flutter: top hats, old silver candlesticks, costumes, books, Victoriana, peacock feathers, masks, stockings, burlesque, feminism, retro pin-ups, kitsch, fantasy, sci-fi, and all manner of misfits and oddities. I blog about my Russian heritage, steampunk, Sherlock Holmes (in his multiple modern variations), art, pretty clothes, pretty ladies, and whatever tv shows catch my fancy.

I think Tumblr has figured out that I am likely to reblog ads that annoy me and is tailoring its sponsored posts to that effect.

Because every ad on my feed is either for some self tanning bullshit, or weight loss ads about“fitting into your skinny jeans.”
