Being for the benefit of...!

If any of you have followed me for a long period of time, then you have probably noticed that I have some posts named "Being for the benefit of [insert last name here]". It's from The Beatles' song "Being for the Benefit of Mr. Kite"

Well, I do those posts in honor of some of the people I love/admire and all of the photos have to be of them of course, mostly are women but I did do one for Dylan. Here's the link to all of the the posts (so far... 10) I've done for...

+Edie Sedgwick
+Patti Hansen
+Dovima
+Bob Dylan
+Sophia Loren
+Brigitte Bardot
+Cher
+Catherine Deneuve
+Jane Birkin
+Gia Carangi

I cannot help but wonder what they were experiencing, and also think about the fact that they were among the first ones to experience the beginning of... I'm gonna call it 'something'. [credit: art.com]

These were all taken in 1961 by Loomis Dean! I have no idea for what though, but she was on some set the whole time. In the making of a film is the closest answer. I should have done this 2 days ago, because it was her birthday! oh well. Happy Birthday beautiful!

http://subrealities.waiting-forthe-sun.net/Graphics/PhantasticGraphics/WhiskyGraphics/whisky_stage.jpg

What is your horoscope and do you relate?
Leo. Yes, because one time very long ago this psychic on TV was doing horoscopes so when she started talking about Leo she said "Leo. You are in bed, sitting, eating..." and I almost choked cause that was exactly what I was doing. I was in sitting in bed eating!

What are you wearing today?
Black Jeans and a yellow shirt. Pretty simple.

What is the last thing you bought?
A croissant and a Pepsi.

What do you think about the person who tagged you?

Mashed potatoes with yellow cheese!

What’s your favorite decade, fashion wise?
1960's. Hell yeah! I don't even have to say why, it's obvious.

What are your must haves for summer?
My must have? The beach. The only thing I don't have.

What would you love to be able to afford?
Everything I want and don't have.

What is your favorite piece of clothing from your own wardrobe?
My black&white cardigan.

What is your dream job?
Model.

What’s your favorite magazine?
Teen Vogue I guess. But I don't really have a fave.

What do you consider a fashion faux pas?
>_> I don't... I have no idea what that is.

Describe your personal style?
umm, it shouldn't be described.

Which Beatle is your favorite?
Paul and John and Ringo! of course. and I also adore George but not as much as those three!

What are your proud of?
Myself, but depends though!

And now I'll give this to: only them 2,

"Kate Moss is a vampire. Now I see pictures of her with a boy who looks like Mick Jagger, and her looking like me. So there was a reason. It’s one of her gigs to do me. She wanted to read me like a Braille book. And she did. It’s a vampirical thing. She’s not really my friend. I thought she was, but she’s very clever. She’s very complex – she’s very like me. She’s a Capricorn. I think she’s great. ‘You know, it’s OK. I don’t give a shit. But I was quite offended at the time. We were very fond of each other. And then it suddenly soured,’ she added. She’s very clever, but she isn’t at all educated. We don’t have any [common] references. Except music."

I put a sixties, then a new photo; a oldie, then a new one, etc. All of these have been very inspirational in this cruel, boring summer.

Miracle workers

old Hellen Keller and girl that portrayed her (Patty Duke) in 1962’s The Miracle Worker. This is one of the most beautiful photos i’ve ever seen. Really.




Then old Helen Keller and girl who portrayed her in 1962's The Miracle Worker (Patty Douke). I am so glad Patty won an Academy Award for that role, because she did beyond great. And these photographs are absolutely gorgeous! They were taken sometime in the early 1960s. Ph: Nina Leen

The Beatles Anthology (written by them) and believe, I've seen it and read about 2 pages of it... and the book is NOT small. It's very interesting, just by the things they reveal. Pretty shocking.

and 1967's Birds of Britain which is a rare coffee table book about actresses, songstresses and models of swinging 60’s London photographed by John D. Green. I know that this is probably the coolest book out there (you can tell by the pictures in the bottom). Now I just wish for them...

"i love it when you have a cd for a long time & you always skip over that one track because you heard a second or two of it once, like when you were hearing the whole cd for the first time, & that one song seemed slow or just not your type. so you skip over it every time you listen to the cd, but then there’s that one time when you hear it & you fall madly in love with it, & you wonder why you ever skipped it in the first place."

40 years ago today Brian Jones passed away (in 69). This post is dedicated to him not because he was a musical genius, but because i think he was one of the most beautiful, and interesting people I'm never going to have the chance to meet. He was, and will always be the leader of the Stones for me.

and Cassie.


Yeah, obviously you know what my remark is going to be about this. I don't really want to interfere with it, but I can't help it. Other persons who have done it; Lala Vasquez, Raven Symone & singer Kesh. I also don't know if they're aware that Alice Dellal exits, or else. But Cassie said they she wants to have an
"edgier look" and a "'i don't give a fuck' attitude!" Worst part is... People think that Cassie started the trend! In my opinion, 70s and 80s punks obviously started it. But right now, all credits should go to Alice.
