The Dancer's Only Garment

Deadline pressures will have me just posting a miscellany of material with no theme or thought for a while. And you thought that's what I was doing all along, didn't you?

Starting off the randomness is a scrap of paper found amongst a box of my mom's papers. No idea why, except that it might have originally been in my dad's papers.

    I really like that piece. The combination of energy, seduction and surprise really works.

    I'm sure it's always a nice surprise to find something compelling when looking through the old things. I don't come across art in my mother's things, but I do find nice surprises in letters and postcards and such.

    Finlay was (in)famous for lifting photos of Hollywood stars for his models. I'm going to guess Bette Davis for this one.
