The final #JulesMas Day24 - hope you enjoyed! Here’s the inspo for one of my (many) works-in-progress - Bright Vachirawit (as True) and NuNew Charawin (as Benji). True + Benji’s story has a bunch of my fave tropes: grumpy/sunshine college boys, unrequited crush, clueless at dating, >>

A very christmassy #JulesMas Day 23 today (yes, it’s completely out of character for me!) and one of only a few Christmas songs I actually like - Christmas Tree by #KimTaehyung aka V (from the Our Beloved Summer OST) youtu.be/brfiaQ92lls?...

Shiiiiiaa! Forgot #JulesMas Day 22! Finally, YouTube has my favourite ep of National Geographic’s Drain the Oceans doco series! This one is about Port Royal, the Jamaican city that fell into the ocean in 1692. Fascinating history stuff. youtu.be/HvOf2ntOr3U?...

#JulesMas Day 21 and we have the glorious gardens of #Versailles. Enjoy! youtu.be/Jj6JCwiZlck?...

I had a different #JulesMas planned for Day 20, but then I was distracted by these pics of Thai actor #uppoompat. Still speechless, ngl. JUST LOOK AT THIS WORK OF ART 😶😭🤯

Got a bit distracted by life things, so #JulesMas Day 19 was delayed. Enjoy this vid of the discovery and restoration of a long-lost da Vinci.

I am fascinated by art restoration, especially how the curators can peel away centuries of damage and overpainting. For Day 18 of #JulesMas here’s a little video on how the Carnegie Museum of art restored their Isabella de Medici portrait to her former glory. youtu.be/TFhKZv-fgXs?...

Day 17 of #JulesMas and here are some of my favourite photos of #Versailles (from my 2015 grande tour 😊)

It is Day 16 of #JulesMas and today we take a trip to the royal residence of the chateau de Fontainebleau. youtu.be/Dko5_xVQMsc?...

Day15 of #JulesMas and here’s the soundtrack to Le Roi Danse, one of my favourite baroque movies. Listen to the music of the past and forget your worries for a while. Part 1 is here youtu.be/h-IzioUsGW0?...

Do you need to cram some French history into your life today but have no time? 23 mins is all it'll take on day 14 of #JulesMas! youtu.be/7FpeWSFTFRk?...

We all need joy and beauty in our lives during these stressful times. #JulesMas for the 13th is a favourite song and one I currently have on repeat - Ghost by Jeff Satur. www.youtube.com/watch?v=qguo...

Day 12 of #JulesMas and here are some of my favourite Thai BL couples from my fave series - #UpPoom (from My Stand-In), #YinWar (Love Mechanics), #BossNoeul (Love In The Air) and #JoongDunk (Star in my Mind).

Chambord Castle & Domain (Official) Chambord, out of the ordinary, with mysteries... The unique architecture imagined for the glory of François I, with the spirit of *Leonardo da Vinci.

Day 11 for #JulesMas and a gorgeous video of Château de Chambord in the Loire Valley. You can also read about Francis I's glorious hunting lodge-turned-chateau here: www.chambord.org/en/

Portrait of Marie Mancini by 17th century artist Voet.

#JulesMas Day 3. One of my favourite portraits by Voet - Marie Mancini, love of Louis XIV, niece of Cardinal Mazarin, future Princess Colonna, author, adventuress and full of all-round awesome. And apparently, 'the ugly one'. What a hag #17thCentury

Day 2 of #JulesMas and today we have 100 years of banned fashion from Glamour magazine.
