Read about the location etc. here: [link]

I think I failed to mention in the other insanely long post , my dress and bolero (jacket ) were made by me As much as I like the colors that this room has, with the nutso colors of the lighting, it just looks so much cleaner in black and white... Which always takes me forever to process because I can't just desaturate and call it a day No, I have to pick out a gradient I like, then add several layers of gradients, maybe some grain too (here I used the 'film grain' artistic tool, not one of my favorites, but it worked here I think?) And then adjust the contrast and exposure and blah blah... And all because instead of being like normal people and giving a place some light, the Alabama Theatre decided to stay historically accurate Oh well, guess I can't fault them too much hehe...

As for the title... well, according to the theater historian, this piece of furniture is called a "courting couch" and was meant for a lady and her gentleman suitor to sit opposite each other, with their chaparones sitting in the remaining opposite seats. and this was less than 100 years ago? My how times have changed....
