('right said fred' - decca mitford & maya angelou)

decca had the communist hammer & sickle to mark her territory. unity drew swastikas (bon jovi, clearly the fascists in this scenario) to designate hers. another mitford sis, diana, married oswald mosley. the other three were a duchess, an author (nancy of 'love in a cold climate' fame) & pamela, an accomplished cavorter.
at the age of 19, decca bought a camera with her father's credit & ran away to fight in the spanish civil war.

buckle up for this thread about the hellaciously good mitford sister, decca. [a hefty thread]

You may not be able to change the world, but at least you can embarrass the guilty.
