here's the thing

I was about half in love with her by the time we sat down. That's the thing about girls. Every time they do something pretty... you fall half in love with them, and then you never know where the hell you are. JD Salinger

the desire to see

"In my films I always want to make people see deeply. I don't want to show things but to give people the desire to see." Agnès Varda. Watching a few of her films at my house this weekend, beginning with The Gleaners and I.

scout

Just a quickie today: my childhood friend Joe sent me this lovely bowl cut. Mary Badham played Scout in the movie version of To Kill a Mockingbird. I just listened to a wonderful recording, the audio book read by Sissy Spacek.

I had this hairstyle for most of my childhood. We called it the mushroom. It didn't suit me like it does her. From un fille comme moi.

bowl cuts

In honor of Milano Chow's t-shirt, I've decided to dedicate the weekend to bowl cuts. Fernande Barrey had a beautiful bowl cut, although when Modigliani painted her it looked more like a bob. Ugly Earring, maybe the best blog ever, has a great post about Barrey's 1917 meeting, love affair and marriage to Tsuguharu Foujita.
