It's a busy week, therefore some fun is most necessary. Last night GG & her editor were looking at hats & old French fashion magazines. These are covers from Les Modes (a French fashion magazine) to entertain & inspire you. All are watercolors by Félix Fournery, 1908 (via LIFE archives). Look at those hats in the first image. Wow. GG is desperate for a summer hat...but her ears, where do we put her ear-tips? (She does not like the cut-out option. We can never win with her.) It is our considered opinion that GG should wear green feathers in her red-orange hair (like the third lovely lady). Very fashionable & chic, non?
Bonne nuit/GG's milliner
Our copy of the New Yorker's September 11 issue has a permanent place in the 'important pile,' in a basket. The cover by the great Art Spiegelman, when it arrived later that awful week, was perfect.
A little summer silver screen relief. GG & her editor are big fans of Penélope Cruz. We are enjoying the current crop of fashion magazines with her on the cover (our copy of W is above) & are slipping into a Spanish mood. Sadly, we have not been to Spain (yet!) & we can't quite believe it.
GG & her editor also enjoy PC's hilarious cameos on Ugly Betty - one of the few TV shows we watch regularly (we don't have cable). Penélope is also involved in many charities & for that we thank her. Especially for her work with UNICEF. We're going to ask our friend Maria Caterina di Perugia for her sangria recipe & have a Spanish summer party. Pourquoi pas?
