In this strange and challenging time personally and globally, I realized that I have sadly neglected magpie&whiskeyjack. So, I have resolved to make several smaller, simpler posts, since I would prefer to share than to disappear. So, without further ado, I would like to direct your attention to the gorgeous anatomical heart clutch worn by Celeste Wait on last night's Oscar's red carpet.

According to
NSS maganize these are not merely clutches, but minaudières, a sort of small rigid container made of soft material origianlly used as makeup cases. So, I am amused to note these are in fact, h
eart-shaped boxes, which in the Nirvana song was an allusion to another organ
