A particular video was immensely uplifting today. Have a gander yourself. (via) I’m sure that at some previous point on this blog I’ve made mention of Shorpy, the historical photograph blog.

Rebecca West is a fine [...] I think I’m coming in just under the wire with this: happy birthday to Myrna Loy, the funniest women I’ve ever seen on screen. You can go here to read a lovely tribute. Two random bits this evening: 1. Checking the logs for this site for the first time in a great while, I am astounded to note the large number of referrals from Spanish Vogue. Que? 2. It’s hot. Again. I could murder a French 75. Instead I will settle for one of my daughter’s juice boxes. [...] |
