A showcase for the 'Gardens of Delargo Towers', and a new blog to share the odd bits and bobs in my virtual back-yard - together with a potpourri of bizarre random objets d'art from the dusty attic of my mind.
There will be a good smattering of Divas gayness gorgeousness history and music on the way
So follow me on my journey if you wish, leave comments if you can.
We held the local village fete on our estate a few years ago. we asked for no photos to be taken of us, just of the rustic villagers but an old retainer asked for permission to take this photo and we couldn't say no.
1- Champagner-Dame Das Atelier Manassé (1924-38,1945-1947) in Wien wurde von Adorján Wállics und Olga Spolaric gegründet. Sie waren bekkant für ihre Porträts berühmter Persönlichkeiten aus Film und Kabarett sowie für ihre eindrucksvollen Akte. 2- Eine feine Dame aus London, die sich trotz des Blitzkriegs schick machte. Die britische Beharrlichkeit half, die Nazis zu vernichten. 3- Mick Jagger macht Drag genauso gut wie Monty Python. :) 4- Kostbares Foto, errinerung a die liebe Kindheit. Schöne Fotosammlung. :) (vvs)
I am so pleased that you enjoyed my section from our archives. You have expressed my thoughts exactly. I have loved the first photo for years but had no background information about it. I shall be looking up Adorján Wállics and Olga Spolaric to find out more about them and their work.
Style and pathos - perfect! Jx

Oh! No biscuits! I had to prevent Bitey from seeing that one.
ReplyDeleteI love "The Letter".
Heart breaking isn't it. I wouldn't want Bitey to be upset.
