Weekend Reading

She's so Modern

Idylle Moderniste by George Barbier, 1918 [Click image to enlarge]

First Fig
by Edna St. Vincent Millay

My candle burns at both ends;
It will not last the night;
But ah, my foes, and oh, my friends -
It gives a lovely light!

This weekend, I am mostly dressing casual...

...like today's birthday girl, star of the Folies Bergère, notorious courtesan and lover of Natalie Barney Liane de Pougy, later Princess Ghika!

The last Princess

Our beloved Diana, Princess of Wales would have been 60 years old today.

The world still mourns.
