Pygmania

~ ~ We the Pymies of the United Hates, in order to form a more perfect Fashunn, shall overlook, hereby, Coco Chanel's deeds most abhorrent* , in bestowing upon her the Honorary Seal of Pymproval : * In 1923, Vera Bate Lombardi, (born Sarah Gertrude Arkwright), reputedly the illegitimate daughter of the Marquess of Cambridge, afforded Chanel entry into the highest levels of British aristocracy. It was an elite group of associations revolving around such personages as Winston Churchill, aristocrats such as the Duke of Westminster, and royals such as Edward, Prince of Wales. It was in Monte Carlo in 1923, at age forty that Chanel was introduced by Lombardi to the vastly wealthy Duke of Westminster, Hugh Richard Arthur Grosvenor, known to his intimates as "Bendor". The Duke of Westminster lavished Chanel with extravagant jewels, costly art, and a home in London's prestigious Mayfair distric...

I just became aware of this breed. All the following text is taken from Wikipedia verbatim. Enjoy. The Japanese Chin is the dog of Japanese royalty. The distinctive Oriental expression is characterized by the large broad head, large wide-set eyes, short broad muzzle, ear feathering, and the evenly-patterned facial markings. The coat is low maintenance, long and smooth/silky to the touch. This breed is considered one of the most cat-like of the dog breeds in attitude: it is alert, intelligent and independent, and it uses its paws to wash and wipe its face. Other cat-like traits include their preference for resting on high surfaces such as the backs of sofas and chairs, their ability to walk across a coffee table without disturbing an item, and some of the surprising places their owners often find them in. "OK OK OK...so....maybe this is just the weed talking...but do you ever get the  feeling that we're secretly cats? cuz, like, you never know. know what i mean?...

"Too much of anything is bad, but too much of good whisky is barely enough." Mark Twain "The light music of whisky falling into a glass - an agreeable interlude." James Joyce "Always carry a large flagon of whisky in case of snakebite and furthermore always carry a small snake." W. C. Fields "I should never have switched from Scotch to Martinis." Humphrey Bogart 's last words "Whisky is liquid sunshine." George Bernard Shaw "The water was not fit to drink. To make it palatable, we had to add whisky. By diligent effort, I learned to like it."   Sir Winston Churchill "There are two things a Highlander likes naked, and one of them is malt whisky."

BEHOLD: "I can't believe it's not cocaine!"

Mapplethorpe's 1986 portrait of Patti Smith recalls Dürer's 1500 self-portrait... ie, this happened.

old propho smith by mapplethorpe Also...Mick Jagger had this to say about Patti Smith:  "I think it's crap! I think she's so awful...she's full of rubbish, she's full of words and crap. I mean, she's a poseur of the worst kind, intellectual bullshit, trying to be a street girl when she doesn't seem to me to be one, I mean, everything...a useless guitar player, a bad singer, not attractive. She's got her heart in the right place but she's such a POSER! She's not really together musically, she's...all right."

No explanations. No excuses. I wanted to provide a glimpse of the genius. If you can't tell from here, then don't take my word for it - because The Birds is coming out on the big screen this September!  Melanie Daniels on her way with the lovebirds crows gather in the schoolhouse playground  school kids running away from the crows' attack
