Amazing plays from lis bts. Rachel as a teenager in 2010 being absorbed in plays from the early 1900s, is such a dreamy-Cali-kid thing. "Full of imagination", as Chloe says.
Rachel "delving into the mind of Chloe Price" by reading the book Chloe liked while she waited for Chloe to dye her hair.
Oh Chloe you'll realise Rachel's such a big fan of Tennessee Williams & Shakespeare, she even hangs posters of their plays in her room.
Kiss Me Kate inspired from Shakespeare's The Taming of the Shrew. Some of these giving me 🏳️🌈 vibes
Blanche fits Rachel like a shirt. Imagine her own heartbreaking take on it.
Reading book "recs" from a fandom is such an experience
I try to give that to people. I do misrepresent things, I don't tell truth. I tell what ought to be truth and if that is sinful, then let me be punished for it.
A STREETCAR NAMED DESIRE (1951)

1988
Kuramata, one of Japan's most distinguished designers, gained prominence in the 1970s and 1980s for his furniture designs and commercial interiors. Drawing on the expressive capacities of modern industrial materials such as acrylic, aluminum, and steel mesh, he tapped their psychological effects, creating objects that straddle the line between function and suggestion.
"Miss Blanche" derives its design from the corsage that Blanche Dubois wore in Tennessee Williams's"A Streetcar Named Desire". The seat, arms, and back are made of clear acrylic resin in which red silk roses seem to float, an ironic memory of chintz upholstery. The gently curving arms and back are joined and proportioned to stand out as individual elements rather than as parts of a whole. The purple anodized aluminum legs are inserted into slots carved out of the underside of the seat.
