Charlotte Brontë's gym

Thread covers the Kate Sylvester fashion show:

"All my heart is yours, sir: it belongs to you; and with you it would remain, were fate to exile the rest of me from your presence forever."
Kate Sylvester showed her SS12/13 collection 'All My Heart' starring her muse - a Jane Eyre heroine - in doily prints, punchwork leather collars, tweed shorts suits, and flowing silk satin gowns, amongst the rock and roll setting of Golden Dawn.
The ladylike collection had the 19th century Bronte Babes time-travelling to the Ponsonby bar for this, the last of the five Marr Factory shows put on by Stephen Marr and Hallertau.
I would personally wear every piece in this collection (okay maybe with something underneath...) as they were perfect for everything from work to parties to lounging around. Perhaps not the gym - Charlotte Brontë never went to the gym - but I'm pretty sure she went to a few afternoon teas and there were plenty of dresses to take tea in.
Hair by Stephen Marr didn't take a pretty-pretty, literal take on Jane Eyre but instead had a dishevelled beauty, with back-combed hair giving height to the crown and worn long down the back. Perhaps they were depicting Jane fleeing Thornfield in the middle of the night after discovering Mr Rochester was married? (Megan Robinson. Photography Kevin Robinson)

The Cleveland Plain Dealer reviews The Ballad of Tom Dooley by Sharyn McCrumb:

Told in the reminiscences of Pauline and Zeb Vance, who defended Dula in court, the story puts a new twist on a mystery that reviewers compared to "Wuthering Heights." (Donna Marchetti) 

Fraser Petrick in The Whig explores his personal story:

A few awkward and miserable years later I learned that Grade 13 was not all it was cracked up to be. I became cool, yes, but in my eyes only, and only bookishly. I had read Orwell, Huxley and Salinger (when I was supposed to be reading Hardy, Brontë and sanitized drivel such as “I think that I shall never see a poem lovely as a tree”).

What we cannot understand is why you can't read Salinger and Brontë, for instance. We did and love them both (and Hardy and Orwell, by the way).
  Dziennika Wschodniego (Poland) reviews Agnes Grey:

Książka Anne Brontë pełna subtelności, czasem wzniosłości dziś niemal nie do przyjęcia i ostatecznego morału – najważniejsza jest miłość i zacna kobieta na pewno ją spotka, jest dziś – niestety – czytadłem, choć nie można jej odmówić rzetelnego opisania tego mikroświata w jakim żyły wówczas kobiety. Niestety, talentem i wyobraźnią nie dorównała swoim siostrom. (Maria Kolesiewicz) (Translation)

Milenio (México) discusses the love for reading:

Años después mi padre escondía en su cuarto – biblioteca, en el cual los libreros recorrían paredes del piso al techo y a todo lo ancho, algunos como Jane Eyre de Charlotte Brontë o Adiós a las armas de Ernest Hemingway porque – según el- aun yo no tenía edad para leerlos. En complicidad nocturna lograba descubrirlos para acabarlos rápidamente, y en algún momento fui consciente de que fue mi familia, y no la escuela, quien me llevó a amar irremediablemente la lectura y el olor de los libros de estantes. (Viky James) (Translation)

Business Mirror (Philippines) talks about the works of the director Carlos Siguion-Reyna and mentions

His Hihintayin Kita sa Langit was Brontë’s Wuthering Heights made more epic. It earned him an Urian Award. (Dean De La Paz)

Hollywood.com sings the praisesof Tom Hardy, the actor:

He can go from bashing heads in RocknRolla to staring wistfully upon the moors in Wuthering Heights. "He's got this tough guy/soft heart thing going on. I mean, hello, he was in Wuthering Heights! And that video of him rapping with a baby! It makes my brain hurt," adds [Jenni] Miller. (Kelsea Stahler)

The Briarfield Chronicles speculates about how Shirley might have turned out if Anne Brontë had not been ill and died, which of course affected Charlotte's writing deeply. By the way, are you interested in Shirley fanfiction?

I would write a fanfiction, only I could never do justice to Charlotte Brontë. Anyway very few people are interested in Shirley so it wouldn't generate a fandom. Everyone is into Jane Eyre (sigh) and only two fanfics on Villette at Yuletide. Now that's a great fanfic website. Fanfic writers of Shirley would preferably be well-read in Romantic poetry, something few of us can aspire to.
So what do you think?
