"This does make some obstruction in the blood." Mavolio cross-gartered and in yellow stockings, in Twelfth Night, performed by Original Shakespeare Practice Festival, Portland OR, 10 July 2011.
(For anyone who doesn’t have all of Shakespeare memorized — I had to look this up, too — the title is taken from the play, Act 3 scene 4, which this photo depicts. For more info, check out Portland’s own Original Shakespeare Practice Festival online.)
I write fiction and teach college writing and literature. I'm the author of the story collection There Is No Other Way to Worship Them, the novel Hagridden, and the flash fiction chapbooks Box Cutters and Where There Is Ruin.
