Help[Opinions] Re: Edna
in reply to a message by noel
It's mean and sharp but stylish in a sort of 1920's gender non-conformist way... I feel like everything I'm saying makes no sense to anyone except me...
It's funny how soft and feminine (in a wildflowers, midday sun way) Eithne seems in comparison to Edna.

It makes sense to me, considering Ed* names do seem kinda masculine to me, plus the reason I was thinking of it was because I read "Spring" by Edna St. Vincent Millay, which is all like, "beauty is not enough" and men's brains are full of maggots and April's a flower-strewing, babbling idiot ...although, also I met someone named Bretna recently, so I guess *na names have just been on my mind.

Edna St. Vincent Millay... I've heard of her but don't know anything about her... and I've just read "Spring"... twice now... it's a little depressing lol.
Bretna is a weird one. Like Brittany said by a toddler.

She was a young adult in the 1920s. Also she was considered a tomboy and was openly bisexual and sometimes went by Vincent.
Bretna was a charming older lady (65ish?) from Louisiana. I guessed her name was influenced by Gretna (place name) and Bret.

It's deffos not gender non-conformist presently but uh... Gender non-conformist in a 1920s way. Like you know how flappers were a direct rebuttal to the Gibson girl look. Flappers were decidedly "unfeminine" at least by back-then standards. That's sort of what Edna makes me think of. Like a 1920s lady who's saying a big F U by cutting her hair into a bob and not wearing a corset. All of her non-flapper corset-wearing flowy-haired friends are called Rose and Evelyn and Alice... which sound sappy feminine compared to Ms Edna. imo
