HelpVesna Gilbertine
in reply to a message by RegalAmethyst
On the surface, exotic, Russian Vesna doesn't appear to have anything in common with quirky, everyone's favorite girl-next-door Gilbertine. But opposites attract sometimes. The flow is certianly nice.
Wait. Why am I thinking of jet planes with Vesna? Cesna, that must be it. Gilbertine is now a fighter pilot in my imagination, zipping off to parts unknown in stylish goggles. Fun images.
If you like Vesna, you may also like Marna and Morna. If memory serves Marna Liisi (sp?) was a Scandinavian film actress. Or am I imagining that?

I do like Marna (though I'm not sure about the actress). Morna is also lovely, although the sound does remind me of the word mourning, which certainly gives it a darker quality. Ironic, since the page says it means festive! But it's good irony. The image of a Gilbertine zipping off to parts unknown is absolutely wonderful. Reminds me of Beryl Markham. Maybe they could be siblings, Beryl and Gilbertine. Or Beryl and Vesna for that matter. Thanks! :)

Virna Lisi
It was bothering me and I just looked up the actress. She was (is?) Virna Lisi. So there you go.
Oooh. Beryl Markham. Wonderful aviatrix associations if for no other reason than I love saying the word "aviatrix." Beryl and Gilbertine. Yeah, nice sibling set.
