And the Oscar goes to...

...this photograph of Audrey Hepburn & Grace Kelly backstage in 1956. The Awards are tonight & don't tell us you aren't watching. When this was written (early February), we'd not yet seen most films we'd planned on--shrinking bank account, you know. Meanwhile, we can't help saying once again that we're sorry we don't have an Audrey & Grace around today. Oh, there are great actors & stars. But like them? Nope. Why do you think there are so many blogs, books, & so forth with references to Audrey? Our oldest cousin was named for a Hepburn film & if she weren't such a lovely person, we would have been insufferable in our jealousy.

an elegant ciao-meow, darlings!
