F. Scott Fitzgerald in drag for the Princeton Triangle Club, 1915-1916. And because he was such a free bitch, he was voted most beautiful Show Girl for the play “The Evil Eye” which he wrote the lyrics for and starred in.

There comes a time when you look into the mirror and you realize that what you see is all that you will ever be. And then you accept it. Or you kill yourself. Or you stop looking in mirrors.
Tennessee Williams (via leda-swanson)
She said she knew she was able to fly because when she came down she always had dust on her fingers from touching the light bulbs.

The cacao bit from season one of Portlandia on IFC

A human being is a part of a whole, called by us ‘universe’, a part limited in time and space. He experiences himself, his thoughts and feelings as something separated from the rest… a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and to affection for a few persons nearest to us. Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty.

“Here is the video where Alex says, ‘give us a wave, just put your popcorn down for a second and give us a wave. Put your milk duds down.’ They actually said it before Teddy Picker, not Pretty Visitors.”
FYAM: Thanks, this was from the Philly gig. I’ll update the Black Keys tour tag once I get my crappy internet connection sorted. Hopefully, soon. x

I think as long as you turn in the affidavits by seven…I’m sorry, one second. Dave, can I call you back? Something just came up. Thanks.

…hi, Jose? Hi, it’s Kate in Facial Approval. Hi! Um, something just came across my desk that was kind of alarming, I wanted to see if you knew something about it. I’m looking at a picture of Jamie Cook from Arctic Monkeys and…just at first glance, Jose, this is bending or breaking at least three very important Facial Guidelines including excessive eye blueness, reddened cheeks, and disinterested expression.

Yeah.

No, I’m looking at it right now.

Yeah, and I haven’t even shown this to Carol or Rob but I can pretty much guarantee you this is not going to pass with Haircut Compliance or Wardrobe. Yeah, I mean I’m seeing some chest hair here and that haircut is definitely a Retro Army Issue which I know for a fact has been banned on anyone under the age of 45 who is not in the army.

No, I’m telling you, this has gone out. It came right into my inbox. Do you have any idea who may have approved this?

Okay, well if you get any information could you please call me or Carol? And…yeah. Okay, yeah - and Jose? There are three more pictures here, and I’m seeing more blue eyes in one, I’m seeing plaid in another…yeah. Exactly, this no good. So let me know what you find out.

Okay. Oka - wait what? The fourth one? Lemme see…

…no that one’s fine.

This is wonderful. Just…wonderful.
