We Love You Slim, It Was Nice Knowing You

Hello Lovelies!

Probably the reason whyshe was nicknamed "The Look", via tumblr

I was so sad and startled to hear of Lauren Bacall's passing away that it took me a few days before I could even react. I'm glad that she had a long, fulfilled life, of course. But I'm saddened all the same by the loss of this major role model of mine.

Here are a few images to remember her by:

I chose on purpose her lesser known photographs. Here she is with Bogey, of course:

What a beauty!

Tea with... Jim Jarmusch

Hello Lovelies!

You all know by now just how much I love tea but maybe you don't know enough about my love for indie movies. Oh yeah, I'm a crazy cinephile. And Jim sounds like a terrific guy to have tea with! 

So below is a crazy dialogue about tea/coffee and the like that is taken from one of his movies, one that started as student project in 1983, and ended up as a full length feature in 2003. Enjoy your caffeine guys!

GZA: Want some tea?

RZA: Yea, splash me.

GZA: It's all herbals, man. No caffeine.

RZA: That's what I'm talking about. No caffeine. Caffeine is ridiculous right now, man.

GZA: Tell me about it.

RZA: Caffeine leads to depression, makes you all irritable, have your heart beating fast. Faster heart rate, you know what I mean? And worse than anything, you drink that coffee, it gives you the shits, you know what I mean? So I try to stay away from that.

GZA: I'm off that shit, anyway.

RZA: Crisp and clean. No caffeine.
