Weekend Reading List

I had lots of mags dumped on me over the week, including Elle Decor, Time, Men's Health (yes, very unlikely, but I share them with my father). I'm also reading What Is Remembered by Alice Babette Toklas. Ms Toklas is known for her relationship with Gertrude Stein, whom she met in Paris on September 8, 1907, on the first day that she arrived. Together they hosted a salon, with Ms Toklas playing 'wife': She was Ms Stein's confidante, lover, cook, secretary, muse, editor, critic, and house keeper, remaining firmly in the shadow of Ms Stein. They lived as a couple until Gertrude Stein's death in 1946. Yes, Edwardian muff-divers. Not very auspicious for the new year, but there you go!
