Twinka Thiebaud is my new Oona Chaplin (nee O'neill), Etc.
There is a very famous photo by Judy Dater that depicts the famed photographer imogen Cunningham encountering a beautiful nude woman named Twinka. I don't want to put nudity here so if you would like to see this photo go here: http://images.google.com/images?um=1&hl=en&safe=off&sa=X&oi=spell&resnum=0&ct=result&cd=1&q=twinka+thiebaud&spell=1 (and I recommend you do) Years ago I spied a postcard on a fridge in a house I was working on. Recently I saw the photo for the first time again found out the title "Imogen and Twinka" Further research reveals that she was the daughter of Wayne Thiebaud and lived with and cared for Henry Miller in his final years. If anyone has a spare $350 dollars I very much would like this copy of Henry Miller's Reflections Twinka edited and personally inscribed that came from the library of "the astrologer to the stars" - Sydney Omarr who was a close friend of Miller and advised and enjoyed the company of beautiful women including Jayne Mansfield, Rita Hayworth, and Kim Novak.
I have always loved Oona Chaplin for many of the same reasons I am now bewitched by Twinka - beauty, pedigree, and the events in her life. She took up with Charile when she was 17 and was disowned by her fatehr Eugene O'neill in equal parts becuase Chaplin was the same age as her father and he rivaled him in fame. She also sewed thousand dollar bills into her mink as they fled Hollywood for Switzerland at the height of the Red Scare. Oona as an actress great granddaughter named Keira, but my heart is already taken by the Academy Award winning actress Marion Cotillard.
Two days ago I was eating at an inn in rural Pennsylvania when the automobile pictured above pulled in. Driven by an older gentleman and a fetching blonde, they soon sat outside and ordered food and an ice bucket with champagne. Later I approached them asked them if it was all right if I photographed their car. I said it was really cool. "No," the blonde purred, "it's hot." I took the photo, thanked them and asked what year it was. The older man said it was a 1954 Jaguar and besides the paint job and the leather interior it was all original.
oh and here are some tunes I would like to crank up in my Jag - Twinka, Oona (rest her soul) or Marion are all welcome to join me.

Billy Bragg - Help Save The Youth Of America
(I'm onboard with what he said)
Help save the youth of america
Help save them from themselves
Help save the sun-tanned surfer boys
And the californian girls
When the lights go out in the rest of the world
What do our cousins say
Theyre playing in the sun and having fun, fun, fun
Till daddy takes the gun away
From the big church to the big river
And out to the shining sea
This is the land of opportunity
And theres a monkey trial on tv
A nation with their freezers full
Are dancing in their seats
While outside another nation
Is sleeping in the streets
Dont tell me the old, old story
Tell me the truth this time
Is the man in the mask or the indian
An enemy or a friend of mine
Help save the youth of america
Help save the youth of the world
Help save the boys in uniform
Their mothers and their faithful girls
Listen to the voice of the soldier
Down in the killing zone
Talking about the cost of living
And the price of bringing him home
Theyre already shipping the body bags
Down by the rio grande
But you can fight for democracy at home
And not in some foreign land
And the fate of the great united states
Is entwined in the fate of us all
And the incident at tschernobyl proves
The world we live in is very small
And the cities of europe have burned before
And they may yet burn again
And if they do I hope you understand
That washington will burn with them
Omaha will burn with them
Los alamos will burn with them
If I Could Write Poetry
The past two weeks I have been up at a horse racing farm outside Easton, Pa working on a barn renovation. I can't get over these three baby racehorses there. Another sighting near the farm was this vintage Triumph convertible. I have always maintained that I wasn't going to get a driver's license because my favorite car is a Rolls-Royce with a driver, but maybe I could get one just so I could spin around on the weekends in this Triumph.
These songs are are some of the ones I couldn't fit on my last mix. But I realized I like this group of songs just as much so here is part two.
