Well hello there Dynasty Darlings!
The end of Sweptember is fast approaching and we hope that you were positively swept off your feet these past few weeks. Traditionally the turn of phrase "swept off your feet" has a romantic context to it, and we are overjoyed for anyone in our community experiencing a version of that. But we are also overjoyed for anyone in our community who was literally swept off their feet this past week. Like a situation where you were in a room where someone was sweeping with a broom with such vigorand determination in their mission to rid of the floor of dust and debris that when they saw you in their sweeping path they were undeterred and just kept sweeping and when the bristles of the broom hit your high heels 👠 they gently lifted you off the ground. For a second that felt like a thousand, you were floating. It was unexpected and breathtaking. You returned to your feet, exhilarated. No one was hurt. Just two lonely souls in this Victorian parlor (did we mention you were in a Victorian parlor? Because this is all taking place in a Victorian parlor), one with a broom and a passion for a spotless floor (made of decorative mosaic tiling), and one who just went airborne with no warning, both looking into each others eyes, seeing all the possibilities in the universe being unveiled right before them. We'll let you fill in the lusty details from there. It’s your story after all. We’re just thankful to bear witness. Thank you for proving that being literally "swept off your feet” can also have a romantic context to it. :) ;) Keep sweepin’, honays!
In other news, JAM just got back from an epic Alaskan cruise with Mama Flam. Highlights included a magical train ride into the wilds in Skagway, seeing otters and totem poles in Ketchikan, nightly co-solving NY Times puzzles while trying every item on the dinner menu, and laughing constantly. If you got a cool mom like Vikki, we gotta recommend you book a cruise with them ASAP! Meanwhile, VAN's new dogter Cabbage🥬 is sporting a beautiful new vintage red dress and Herbert has taken on a paternal role with her, according to Oliver.
Also, there were so many amazing shows and events at Dynasty Typewriter last week and there are so many amazing shows and events are coming up at Dynasty Typewriter this coming week. We hope you go to all of them!
Sweep Dreams,
VanJam
