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.

JD—Nice assessment.

Annie—what you are finding are the REAL treasures!

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