  1. Notes: 9 / 4 months ago  from ohmytweedysteed
    ohmytweedysteed: The first post at Oh, my tweedy steed has to be Gilbert, the hero of Alfred Hitchcock’s 1938 film The Lady Vanishes.  Gilbert is an anthropologist so the tweed fits with his academic side.  He gets himself into a scrape involving a pretty lady (whose love of l’ascots could probably inspire a whole other tumblr) and an international spy ring.  So he’s romantic and adventurous, a side of tweed that we don’t see often enough.  Furthermore, Gilbert is to my mind the quintessential British hero: helpful, sardonic, brave and incredibly sexy.  All things that tweed can be if a fabric can be brave or sardonic.  He hides his chivalrous nature under a facade of reverse snobbery and practicality (and what could be more practical than good old tweed?) This sums up my feelings.

Before the first steps have been taken that can lead to achievement or to failure, there is potential in all its unblemished perfection. Sometimes it's good to step away from the execution and to just find safety in the potential.
