685. RT Rewind: August 1996 Ads & Features

It’s the 90s so the Ads and Features from the August 1996 issue of Romantic Times are a treasure trove of confusion. We’ve got:

• A tour of Jude Deveraux’s Grade II Listed Home in Suffolk
• Barbara Cartland perfumes
• How should emoji faces be written? Nose or no nose?
• What is the appeal of “nursing him back to health” plots?
• And RT is going to answer the eternal question that has plagued womankind throughout the ages. It’s a doozy.

We mentioned:

• Anne Rice: A Critical Companion by Jennifer Crusie (eBay) (Thriftbooks)
• Barbara Cartland perfumes (eBay)
• The Perfume Society’s remembrance of John Bailey, former president and personal perfumer to Barbara Cartland (that’s a job!?)
• Jude Deveraux’s former home in Suffolk, Ketton House
• Is this Peter Gallagher?
