If you wanna read some dime novels, Northern Illinois University has a nice searchable database: https://dimenovels.lib.niu.edu/

If you wanna watch ‪@MorganDonner‬ and I be silly little Love Nuns at the Ohio Renaissance Faire:    • Naughty Nuns and Tattoos: a response to Yo...  

👗Green Velvet Dress in Parts 1 & 2 is from Voriagh! https://en.voriagh.com/misha-embroide... (not sponsored or gifted - bought w/ my own money)

Outfit from Parts 3 & 4 - Pants are Ralph Lauren from 2018 and sweater is thrifted.
