Maenad & Me: Tea Drinker, Bookworm, Hermit

If I Were a Maenad...

So, first of all, I have to say that I did NOT think Maenad could be anything like me. But then, she (Kati Moore) simplified it by saying that Maenads pursue freedom from worry & self-consciousness even if it's by drinking a cup of tea, reading a book or hanging out at home. SO hygge, right?

It sounded A LOT like me so I decided to give it a chance. I thought of Jane Austen and created a Jane Austen Hermit pinboard of all my ideas. But my real-life, I-might-actually-wear-it idea was a uniform of sorts that included leggings + animal print.

By the way, there is a Maenad subtype that could echo Jane Austen's time. It's Vampire and part of its charm is the freedom to use style to hearken back to an earlier time. I love that!

Why call it Vampire? Because the Vampire has been around a long, long time, and has seen everything. She is wise, and has seen style come and go.

If you dressed to suggest an earlier time, which time period would you choose?

I do love that about Vampire, but it's not my favorite Maenad subtype. I'll tell you what that one is, tomorrow. :)

And ultimately, I decided that Maenad is not my type, but I LOVED playing with it!!!

Love, Jeanine
