Images of Invalids – Invalid Fantasies

The Gosford Park Faint

Admiring a beautiful movie’s fainting scene, & envying the fainter.

A little infected owie turns into a reality check and gratitude.

Fell down and hurt myself while hypnotized by Nosferatu.

Three generations of iconic invalids in one classic movie.

Inspired by images of the first lady laid up after surgery, eating in bed, with her husband, the President.

Dreamy convalescing sickbed friends.

Your skin is your largest (diseased) organ.

I’d need to be in the sleeper car for this to be a dream come true.

Fall nesting in sickly soft pink light, wishing for someone to prescribe The Cure.

I dream of bringing my visions of padded cells, bookwormholes, and peaceful solitary confinement to life.
