Flirting with disaster

Very well then I contradict myself,

(I am large, I contain multitudes.)

I’ve been listening to my 80s playlist a lot lately and there’s a particular boy I always think of when I hear “Crazy For You.” So here’s a little piece straight out of Laurie’s memory vault:

Blue dress, big night. We are dancing as the evening comes to a close. My arms are around your neck as I tilt my head up and gaze. I am not in love, but I am so infatuated with you. Do you feel it—do you feel me? I think maybe you do.

Our eyes meet and for a moment, everything hangs. Your arms pull me closer, I rest my head against your chest, and although I would never have claimed Madonna as my muse, this song says the things that you and I won’t or can’t say.

“…If for some reason a woman was ungloved, proper etiquette called for the gentleman to remove his gloves before taking her hand, as it was discourtesy to behave otherwise.” — Glove Etiquette and Rules in the 1800s

It’s really important on a period movie for the actors to understand how people related to each other then. We wanted to show the young people pushing boundaries. Like in the hallway, before Mr. Knightley and Emma danced, Anya really wanted to have her gloves off in the scene—normally she would have always worn gloves—so we asked Maria [Clarke, the etiquette expert], “Can she have her gloves off?” And she said, “Yes, if she had just eaten, she wouldn’t have put them back on yet. And since she’s so distracted by the way she’s starting to feel, it made sense.” — Autumn de Wilde
