I adore Victorian architecture with all its gaudy embellishments. It was the neo post Renaissance, Mannerist revival or as some call it, Rococo, with its gold gilding, and extreme ornamentation. Dark earthy tones of ox-blood, and burnt sienna dominated, added to its melancholy mood. It had the hint of gothic, which gave its dark sombre mood, the perfect hunting ground for Jack the Ripper, which contributed to his immortality.

I cannot see the allurement of his legend in a sterile Modernist environment.

Jack to Ripper is absolutely alluring and anybody who would go out of his way to deny his haunting magic, I would question their denial.

However, I seem to consistently forget that angels and saints overrun this Forum.

On another sight, we labelled them Born Again Virgins.

I confess, I am human and more than judgemental.
