You gotta love livin baby, cause dyin is a pain in the ass
Basically, I'm for anything that gets you through the night - be it a prayer, tranquilizers or a bottle of Jack Daniels. - Frank Sinatra
A man's game
I'd studied dance in Chicago every summer end taught it all winter, and I was well-rounded. I wasn't worried about getting a job on Broadway. In fact, I got one the first week.- Gene Kelly
C'est Si Bon
"It's all about falling in love with yourself and sharing that love with someone who appreciates you, rather than looking for love to compensate for a self love deficit."Eartha Kitt rides a bike down the street in New York City. Photographer Gordon Parks shot this for LIFE Magazine in July, 1952.
Lady of the Night
Well, I'll say I have an incredible ability to
fantasize - I really do. I don't have to have things tangible to be able
to see them, and therefore I enjoy so many things, because they're in
my mind.
- Donna Summer
Take This Heart of Mine
- Marvin Gaye
Dogs never bite. Just humans.
- Marilyn Monroe
You were such a babe!
"...the moment I wake up, before I put on my make up, I say a little prayer for you.."
I am a bird now
I was aware of people staring at me. No one moved.
They seemed almost in trance. I just stared at the clock in the center
of the church. When I finished, everyone clapped and started crying.
I'm afraid of you? Are you cracked?
Motorcycles, rebellion, and the open road wouldn’t be the same without Marlon Brando’s “The Wild One” (1953).
"It begins here for me on this road. How the whole mess happened I don't
know, but I know it couldn't happen again in a million years. Maybe I
could of stopped it early, but once the trouble was on its way, I was
just goin' with it. Mostly I remember the girl. I can't explain it - a
sad chick like that, but somethin' changed in me. She got to me, but
that's later anyway. This is where it begins for me right on this road."
Aesthetic Experience
I am desperate and vulnerable. I am always terrified. Beauty can sometimes be so very troublesome.
Immortality
If a man can bridge the gap between life and death, if he can live on after he's dead, then maybe he was a great man.
Tutus for Tennis
Designer Teddy Tinling had reason to know what makes a good tennis dress. For 22 years, until the flare-up over Miss Moran's pants caused him to resign, he was Master of Ceremonies of the center court at Wimbledon.
He dressed almost every important woman player—and about half of
the men, including Seixas and Trabert. Mass-produced copies of his
custom-designed Wimbledon costumes were also sold to more than 10,000 less well-known but equally ardent players in England and in America.
The Speed Affair
Racing is life. Anything before or after is just waiting.
- Steve McQueen
Sweet Love - Anita!
I don't let people use me. That's why I like a small
number of people in my life. The more people in my life, the more
complex it becomes, so I just try to keep it at a minimum.
United States Rubber
1957 vintage ad.U.S. Rubber has created a revolutionary new swim cap material - WATER VELVET - that actually looks like velvet... feels like velvet... yet comes out of the sea without a blemish, unbelievably soft and glowing. You'll feel beautiful as never before, and your hair will stay wonderfully dry in a U.S. Swim Cap of new Water Velvet.
Cherchez la femme en la Chevy
So. Let's talk dance.
The creative process is not controlled by a switch you can simply turn on or off; it's with you all the time. -Alvin Ailey
Shelton Jackson Lee - Spike
"I live in New York City, the stories of my films take place in New York; I'm a New York filmmaker."- Spike Lee
