She was expecting someone— everytime a door opened, every time she went to a party, to any gathering of people, everytime she entered a café, a theatre.
— Anaïs Nin. From Elena, a short story in Delta of Venus.
Other worlds: The Brothers Bloom
[Blair as Penelope, Dan as Bloom, Nate as Stephen & Jenny as Bang Bang.]“As far as con man stories go, I think I’ve heard them all. Of grifters, ropers, faro fixers, tales drawn long and tall.

“The perfect con is one where everybody involved gets just what they wanted.”
Joseph Mallord William Turner, The Burning of the Houses of Lords and Commons
