Austentatious All Around
I'm not ashamed to tell you that I Google myself. Not everyday, just every now and then, to make sure I'm not missing something going on in my own life. Well, before AUSTENTATIOUS, I didn't have any trouble. I'd Google "UNLADYLIKE PURSUITS" or simply "alyssa goodnight," but now that AUSTENTATIOUS is in the mix, because who knows...maybe someone, somewhere is saying something about it--or me--Googling is a little harder.
Because, apparently, LOTS of things are Austentatious! Let's see, there's the new crochet book that came out this year: Austentatious Crochet: 36 Contemporary Designs from the World of Jane Austen, filled with really lovely Jane Austen-inspired crochet patterns. Then there's the up-and-coming Jane Austen inspired musical, Austentatious that's been billed as witty, unique and utterly hilarious. It's the story of a community theater group's attempt to stage a new adaptation of Pride & Prejudice (I'd love to get my hands on that Soundtrack...)
Austentatious: A play on the word 'ostentatious', used to describe the works of author Jane Austen.
and various other things. I don't even show up until page 2! That said, I'm happy to be in such delightful company!
The crochet pattern is Lizzy's Lace Mantelet, via.

Hey, if you made Urban Dictionary, I think you’re doing just fine. I think it’s weird how trends ebb and flow. You seem to be in good company with the Austentatious crowd!

Now I’m wondering if Jane Austen crocheted

I can’t imagine she had time!

You are Austentatious, Alyssa. Simply Austentatious.

I’m guessing that’s a compliment, David…? 😉
