– You know that amazing felted-doll picture book version of Pride and Prejudice? You know, that one. With…the amazing felted dolls. Well, the autumn 2013 batch is out, and features Emma! And lots of other neat books. I can’t decide whether I’m more into the cute felted Moby Dick whale or the full-on War and Peace military dude on horseback.
– So, ostensibly because there are simply not enough Austen sequels/rewrites/reimaginings in this beautiful world of ours—at least, I think that’s how the argument goes—we now have The Austen Project, in which well-known authors (Joanna Trollope, Alexander McCall Smith, Curtis Sittenfeld[!]) take on modernizations of Austen novels. Sigh. What she said. (Via AustenBlog)
– Texts from Emma, you guys! (And may we give a general shout-out to The Toast? You all know The Toast, right? First cousin by marriage to our beloved Hairpin, and source of The Quotable Jane Austen for Evil People?)
(Also: we’re not crazy, right? Emma is having A Moment? How nice.)
– Last week on Twitter, noted Doctor of Celebrity Gossip (and Hairpin contributor—don’t miss her Scandals of Classic Hollywood series) Anne Helen Petersen came up with a standard way to explain the Kardashians to people who Don’t Get the Kardashians, and I think you’re gonna like it. Just think: Kanye as the most agreeable man in the world.
RIGHT?!

I cannot agree, Anne. I think Kim is much more a Lydia type of person, which would make Kanye a George Wickham.
