Dracula’s Daughter

Lips are blue, eyes are red

A laugh like gurgling water

But I can’t resist that passionate kiss…

The Ingenues

August 1930:  The Ingenues, an all-girls band and vaudeville act, serenading the cows in the University of Wisconsin-Madison Dairy Barn in a scientific test of whether the cows would give more milk to the soothing strains of music.

Oh sweet music they make:

Barbara Stanwyck is a lady, so is Clark Gable

(L to R:) Lew Smith, Barbara Stanwyck, Clark Gable, and Bill Hickman

“…while reading johnnie parsons book i came across this photo. and here’s the story behind it…

The MGM movie crew, including handsome Clark Gable, the top box office star of the era, was in John’s pit box during the race. (1950) They had become close to each other and they were cheering him on. They watched as chief mechanic Harry Stephens kept giving John “EZY” signals. John felt this same tactic had cost him a win during last year’s race, so John wasn’t about to slow down even though he had a lap on the field. Growing tired of the continuing “EZY” signals, John flashed a sign of his own to Stephens. The universal one finger salute. The MGM people got a real kick out of it.

At Milwaukee for the June 11th race, John received a large envelope via special delivery at a cost of 21 cents. It was from MGM’s J. L. Smith, one of the MGM Indy Pit observers. Inside was an 8×10 photo of Lew Smith, Barbara Stanwyck, Clark Gable, and Bill Hickman (stunt driver). In the photo each of them were giving the famous one finger salute mocking Parsons’ message to Stephens.”

All four are seen in the auto racing movie “To Please a Lady” (1950).

Dream of Icarus -- Sergey Solomko

Reblogged from biblioklept:

Landscape with the Fall of Icarus - William Carlos Williams

According to Brueghel
when Icarus fell
it was spring

a farmer was ploughing
his field
the whole pageantry

of the year was
awake tingling
near

the edge of the sea
concerned 
with itself

sweating in the sun
that melted
the wings' wax

unsignificantly
off the coast
there was

a splash quite unnoticed
this was
Icarus drowning
