Breakfast At Tiffany's

“Breakfast at Tiffany’s” stands as a beloved classic for many reasons. It captured the excitement and glamour of early 1960's New York City chic, made an icon of actress Audrey Hepburn, influenced popular culture and fashion, and contains an immortal theme song. A giant commercial success, it garnered five Academy Award nominations and took home two statues. When I first saw it as a boy, I could sense it was a noteworthy film and even got emotional at the end, though I didn’t exactly know why. I watched it again, and though I liked it, felt I didn’t understand it and brushed it off as one of those classics that just didn’t speak to me. Cut to today, when I rewatched it after years to prepare for this post and had a completely different experience." - Jay Jacobson, Jay's Classic Movie Blog

When Judy Met Marilyn

 

Judy Garland & Marilyn Monroe

"That beautiful girl was frightened of aloneness—the same thing I'd been been afraid of. Like me, she was just trying to do her job—garnish some delightful whipped cream onto some people's lives, but Marilyn and I never got a chance to talk." - Judy Garland

Beautiful souls, wished they had.

"Money, Money, Money"

"All the things I could do, If I had a little money, It's a rich man's world" - ABBA 

Dear money, you are always on my mind. OK not always how about always in the back of my mind. There that's more real. 

Oh all the things I could do, and will do. That's correct Minions "will do" moving on...

I'm a naughty pig and I'm HAF, the more you know...

Someone I cared about once gave me a box full of darkness. It took me a while to understand that too was a gift.

Hump Day & Chill

As the summer heat continues I thought we should Hump Day & Chill to one of the coolest images (figuratively and literally) ever of Elizabeth Taylor in her pool with her parrot. This classic was shot by transgressive German photographer Helmut Newton.

Because let's face it no matter how cool you try to be, you'll never achieve Elizabeth Taylor cool, never!!! 

Hump Day & Chill indeed...

Cheers!
