mortal danger

"...never give your heart to a stranger
Or tell your secrets to a friend
You'll put your heart in mortal danger
They all desert you in the end..."

Don't you know that the blood in your veins Is as lifeless as yesterday's rain?

Suzy Parker by Richard Avedon

"We are nothing but shadow and mist
In the mirror we look as we pass
Our reflections revealed in the glass..."

"...у каждого действительно яркого человека — есть своя история, о которой не знают сторонние наблюдатели и о которой, он не расскажет ни слова. Это книга, написанная карандашом. Она вроде бы существует, она материальна и значима, но буквы в ней едва различимы, текст не имеет материальной формы и никогда не будет опубликован, потому что это не просто сюжет — это правда, но иногда, мы не хотим смотреть ей в глаза...".

let it rain

May is blowing and the story twisted in a new direction.

The last prelude to summer starts today and there's no time to waste.

a little bit of fun

"She's a Park Avenue princess. She grew up shopping and lunching. Her mother did, and her grandmother".
Melinda and Melinda by Woody Allen

C'est le temps de l'amour, le temps des copains et de l'aventure.

So adorable and so amazing - Francoise Hardy

Acquainted with the Night

I have been one acquainted with the night.
I have walked out in rain -- and back in rain.
I have outwalked the furthest city light.

I have looked down the saddest city lane.
I have passed by the watchman on his beat
And dropped my eyes, unwilling to explain.

I have stood still and stopped the sound of feet
When far away an interrupted cry
Came over houses from another street,

But not to call me back or say good-bye;
And further still at an unearthly height,
A luminary clock against the sky

Proclaimed the time was neither wrong nor right.
I have been one acquainted with the night.
Robert Frost

"...Sounds of laughter shades of earth are ringing
Through my open views inviting and inciting me
Limitless undying love which shines around me like a million suns,
It calls me on and on across the universe..."

summer kisses

I'll buy you one more frozen orange juice
On this fantastic day
We'll walk the sunny hills of Madrid
Laughing all the way

Boulevard of St. Michel

You talk like Marlene Dietrich
And you dance like Zizi Jeanmaire
Your clothes are all made by Balmain
And there's diamonds and pearls in your hair

socialite Felicidade de Sousa Campos

You go to the embassy parties
Where you talk in Russian and Greek
And the young men who move in your circle
They hang on every word you speak, yes I do...

photo by Henry Clark

But where do you go to my lovely
When you're alone in your bed
Tell me the thoughts that surround you
I want to look inside your head, yes I do...

shadows from the past.

"The clothes you're wearing are the clothes you wore,
The smile you are smiling you where smiling then,
But I can't remember where...
Or when.
Some things that happened for the first time
Seem to be happening again".

/ - Так может и это тоже судьба? Деньги для меня имеют совсем ничтожную ценность.
- А что бесценно? для вас?
- Бесценное... Я на это не играю.
- Жаль, и я не знал этого раньше.
- Никогда не поздно...
-Никогда - это слишком поздно./

Star of stars.

She made a great sensation with wealth and fame she reward.

"She had only one fault, She was perfect. Otherwise, she was perfect.”
Truman Capote

“I never saw her not grab anyone's attention, the hair, the makeup, the crispness. You were never conscious of what she was wearing; you noticed Babe and nothing else.”
Bill Blass

She is a legend. She is an icon. There's no one like Babe and never was.
