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?
