does that IWTV cover have a bucket on it?
lol no, it’s a top hat. I think. I mean keep in mind this is the 1978 edition so perhaps buckets could be worn as top hats? Or were considered dapper? Or merely served as the inspiration for top hats?? IDEK I AM OLD BUT NOT THAT OLD.
A very unusual white top hat, hella dapper, on Alice Cooper:

Or is it in fact an upended wastepaper basket? [sauce] mickimonster thinks so, and shan’t be convinced otherwise!
Leon Bakst, Portrait of Zinaida Gippius, 1906
“Though it portrays one person, this painting brings together a queer trio of creative subjects. Its sitter, Zinaida Gippius, was a symbolist poet and novelist exiled from Russia after the Revolution. In Paris, she became as famous for her androgynous style and rumoured lesbianism as for her writing. The painter of the portrait, Leon Bakst, was best known as the creator of scenic design and costumes for the Ballet Russes, including the exotic, daringly erotic costumes worn by lead dancer Vaslav Nijinksy. Finally, Oscar Wilde, the witty and scandalously homosexual writer, provided the inspiration for Gippius’s cross-dressed attire and dandified pose.”

“…On a gathering storm
Comes a tall handsome man
In a dusty black coat
With a red right hand.”

whiningforcenturies and I were joking about Lestat’s leather pants and how the others must have reacted.
at least Louie can track his movements by the squeaking of leather.
