Ah. So I hadn’t lost that shot from Ethel Barrymore’s 70th Birthday Soiree at Chateau Cukor, after all!
I’d stick her at the end of the table, too. Put a lovely table arrangement smack-dab in front of her. Aside from Minnelli, who the hell are any of th read more

what’s with the ring on Kate’s left hand?
It’s a poison ring. And, like, that isn’t a joke; it’s one of those rings medieval wives wore when then wanted to off their husbands, so’s they could BREAK FREE from the restraints of their read more

I love how this was watermarked (in actual marker, no less; A+ use of your kid’s Crayola set, seller!) as only “EBAYISH.” As if this photograph measures just short of full-on eBay status, but a few points were docked in the final round, for whatever rea read more
