What Classic Pin-Up Are You?

This is cracking me up because I have a few pieces of Brigitte memorabilia in the hut on permanent display! One of my prized possessions is a book from 1957 titled "and GOD Created Woman" by Raymond Boyer. This book has hundreds of B/W pictures from the movie by the same name and other shots from BB's early career.

I found it in a used book store a long time ago when I was in a PhotoBook collecting mode. I knew nothing about Bardot but as they say, the pictures just spoke to me.

She has *It*.

I don't have *It*. Most folks don't have *It*. Every once in awhile, someone comes along who just has a love affair with the camera and we can't seem to get enough! VOILA! The Pin-up!

AND, this door swings both ways. A woman I worked with had one of the best Male Pin-up Galleries, incognito, at work, that I've ever seen. There was a partial drop ceiling in her office that created a tiny little *wall* between her desk and her door at ceiling level. Here she hung her favorite GQ covers of her fancied HOLLYwooD mEN. It was months before I noticed it - you had to be sitting at or very near her desk and glance up to be Rewarded...

Yes, girls look too...

While I'm wading through the pile of almost FOs, I'm tempting myself with some inspiring goodies. In the mail comes:
- the new Spring 2005 Rowan
- a bag of All Seasons Cotton in...

LIMEDROP!

We need some serious Warmth in these here parts and even though the sky is blue today, my brain is still a little frozen. Lookin' at some TROPICAL color just wakes it back up.

To keep the b.Limey Journey going strong (since I can't buy yarn EVERYDAY can I can I canI???) I've sifted through some of my photographs and have put them in a color Journal of their own. It isn't much, but it is a simple Hue study of Number 4 Yellow-Green on the Color Wheel, using images I can relate to because I took them. Going back and looking at them in a series is a fun way to try and understand that strong mental realtionship I have with this hue. It has *It* for me - I am drawn to this color over and over again.

Since it is never seen in isolation but as a part of a whole, I can think about what makes it such a powerful creative SPARK in my brain...

Gallery b.Limey, if you please...
