And all the art-associated links you have listed on you blog will definitely draw me back here again.

It was like my life at the movies in review and I don't think Gone With The Wind was anywhere near my first movie but it was shown in probably it's first re-release when I was a child and my mother and aunt took me and hmmd and ahhd through it leaving me baffled. I must have fallen asleep in the second half waking up for the child's fall from the horse and being afraid of them for some time after. <br /><br />Your work here is deft and clever. I loved it.Beachannyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08638256396472533685noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2639339699258439249.post-32346175404033319712011-11-07T06:07:21.902-05:002011-11-07T06:07:21.902-05:00This is quite rich and lively, Maureen!

A true sashay and tour d'force of image and involvement of the senses in this-- <br /><br />used to dreaming about some French<br /> connection on whom she could turn<br /><br />a single eye like a gimlet, boring in on dry<br /> red lips for a chance at that Parisian<br /><br />fool's gold. Every gentle Ben for as far as you<br /> could see would fall for her, always on<br /><br />Cinco de Mayo, when she, dressed up in black<br /> velvet, batted those long lashes like<br /><br />the femme fatale she put on<br /><br />the ref. to emu export cracks me up-- I know people who went bust on the llama boom-- you can't give them away around here now and then took up emus for reasons that utterly baffle me! xxxxjJenne' R.
