Small Trades

 



Irving Penn took these portraits of tradespeople in 1950 and 1951.






Not that long ago and yet a different world.

Going Slow In The Fast Lane

 


There is genius in this recasting of a traditional heist comedy-- the lead actress is ninety five years old and her partner-in-crime appeared (as an adult) in Shaft in 1971.

There is suspense. There is action. All with a delightful twist!

Coach Walz

 



First, Biden dropped out of the race. Then, Kamala chose Tim Walz as her running mate.

I can't remember the last time I was this pleased with political decision making. When Obama won the first time around?

A genuinely good human being with an admirable track record-- count me in. I love this dad.

2024 Olympics

 


Who knew the most wholesome fans at the Paris Olympics would be Snoop Dogg and Flava Flav?!

 


These two are DELIVERING the hype-- the ultimate girl dads (now grandpas) and I love it.

 



I mean, come on. These are images I didn't know I needed to see.




Two masters of style, always and forever.
