Just Because: Venus del Pomo

From the Museo Nacional del Prado in Madrid: a classical marble statue of the goddess Venus. It is a Roman copy of a Greek original, and it dates to 150 B.C. A seventeenth-century artist added the perfume bottle under the goddess’s right hand, giving the statue its nickname of “Venus del Pomo.”

You can read more about this work of art on the Prado’s website, here.

“Anna” from Downton Abbey Discusses Beauty and Perfume in The New York Times

anna

My husband, who is just as much of a “Downton Abbey” obsessive as I am, just pointed out an interview with Joanne Froggatt, better known as housemaid and ladies’ maid Anna, in today’s New York Times.

In this interview, Anna—all right, Joanne—discusses her on-screen and off-screen beauty routines and names her favorite fragrance. Read here to find out more!

[Edited to add this possible perfume-spoiler: I sort of wish Ms. Froggatt's fragrance pick didn't happen to come from Downton Abbey/Masterpiece's corporate sponsor, but that's the way of the world, I suppose.]
