ok, you don't know me and this is a very belatd comment in relation to your date of posting, but i was reviewing back entries from the 'costuming' community and came across this. a few things i can't keep myself from saying:
a. good lord yes, the decameron is based on a book. it was written around the earlier outbreaks of the black plague, let's say late 1300s early 1400s, by giovanni boccaccio, and as a secular work of fiction it is considered a literary breakthrough for medieval europe, transitioning the highly religious late gothic era into the humanist renaissance.
b. i am so incredibly excited for the sequel to elizabeth, thank you thank you for bringing it to my attention.
c. bettie page was a much fuller woman, and far more attractive for it, than the woman in the picture posted for the film 'the notorious bettie page'. it's a shame film producers don't think popular america would enjoy the gorgeous full-figure of bettie page onscreen, and so they substitute somebody so petite.
