Brigitte Lin in THE BRIDE WITH WHITE HAIR. Closeup of head and shoulders of a beautiful Asian woman in a martial arts attack pose. She looks like the dark arts witch that she is. Her hair is white, blowing back from her face, which is youthful, with dark red lips and bold red eyeliner. The scalp visible beneath her parted hair is also bright red.

Who robbed The Louvre? Right answers only.
Actress Maggie Cheung in Irma Vep. She is on a Paris rooftop, wearing a skintight black outfit, which blends into her black, bobbed hair. She is turned to see behind her, so we see her in near profile, with the Cathedral of Notre Dame behind her and to the left.

Post a random picture, or else everything will go bad in September.

(Watched CONSPIRATOR, a rather bad Elizabeth Taylor movie this afternoon. Nothing wrong with Liz, though.)
David Bowie taking a drag off Elizabeth Taylor’s cigarette. They are impossibly glamorous, embracing, his arms grasped around her waist, her hand across his back, hand draped along his shoulder. She is wearing his hat.

Tumblr post with picture of T-Rex skeleton on display outside of a building. It is covered with pink lawn flamingos, which appear to be eating it. Text; À flock of lawn flamingos can pick a T-Rex clean in under 90 seconds. Reply from pardonmewhileipanic: Nature is Brutal.

No cheating. Your last saved celebrity photo is your therapist. Who is it?

Don’t know if this is cheating, but it’s my last celebrity screengrab and I couldn’t resist.

Post your current lockscreen!
(And if anyone recognizes this artist, let me know, because I have lost the link to where I found it.)

Interlibrary loan funding is gone. I’ve been cutting down on using it where I can. Looks like there are a lot of streaming options, here’s a screenshot from Letterboxd. And it is on YouTube.

“Big scandals usually first come into view as black holes do. You can’t see them directly. But they exert a mammoth gravitational pull on the things around them. People start doing inexplicable things…”

Feeling very Chandleresque
Big scandals usually first come into view as black holes do. You can’t see them directly. But they exert a mammoth gravitational pull on the things around them. People start doing inexplicable things, acting in what seem like weird and self-destructive ways; people run for the hills for no clear reason or any logical explanation. Like a black hole, the gravity of the scandal has this distorting effect on people and things around it and you can infer the scope and scale by those effects even though you can’t see it directly. This is one of those cases. I don’t know what “it” is. But its force is staggering. It looks like Trump’s actions are self-destructive and inexplicable. But the most straightforward explanation is that these actions are the only option he has. He’s trapped and he’s desperate and doesn’t have any better options.

I love that he seems to be wearing the same outfit as on the red carpet for the Ballerina premiere earlier in the evening.
Actor Gabriel Byrne at the premiere of the movie Ballerina, wearing dusty blue suit and sneakers, white shirt with no tie. Casual, yet dapper.

When I saw your earlier tweets I immediately thought of HorribleMeanBadWoman from Instagram, a fave.
Curly haired woman wearing a hat, orange shirt and plaid jacket. Over her picture is the text: You’ll never catch me taking a man’s side. She psychologically tormented you by constantly putting emphasis on random words in a sentence for no reason? Well, WHAT did you do TO deserve that? PEOPLE don’t just PUT emphasis in inappropriate PLACES for no reason, JASON.

We may celebrate Lexington and Concord, but more American lives were lost in Arlington and Cambridge as militias and locals attacked the retreat.

79yo Samuel Whittington showed up with musket, sword and dueling pistols, killing 3 soldiers. He was shot, stabbed, left for dead, but survived to 98.

They are very cute. Don’t know that I’ve ever seen a grumpy one. I’m a knitter, so lamb pictures regularly cross my path. At worst, they just look sort of chill.
