decca had the communist hammer & sickle to mark her territory. unity drew swastikas (bon jovi, clearly the fascists in this scenario) to designate hers. another mitford sis, diana, married oswald mosley. the other three were a duchess, an author (nancy of 'love in a cold climate' fame) & pamela, an accomplished cavorter.
at the age of 19, decca bought a camera with her father's credit & ran away to fight in the spanish civil war.

:
that old quandary - nature or nurture - has been rankling the human race for as long as we've existed...or from the second generation, at least. if you think you've fixed your ideas on the subject, you may not be familiar with the mitford sisters.
buckle up for this thread about the hellaciously good mitford sister, decca. [a hefty thread]

that it included anyone suspected of being a communist, feminist or socialist revolutionary.
their lies & propaganda led to jean seberg's suicide & saw the likes of dorothy parker hauled up in front of the HUAC in the hopes they'd grass up their mates. assassination was not beyond their remit.
the black panther party had spectacular reach with their transformative programmes such as school breakfasts & free health clinics.

Street photography is not just about taking snapshots of random people/objects that are around you on the street. Sometimes you just need to ask someone who’s interesting if they’re okay with me taking their picture. This tired, long suffering NY Knicks fan obliged me while wandering around Times Square area in NYC.

: oops, i drew him again. elvis costello - king of cool & compassion - was gifted to the world on 25 august, 1954. i will /always/ love him for 'tramp the dirt down' & his 'heart of the country' voiceover - PLUS, his collaboration with chet baker.

: river phoenix was born in 1970 & i celebrate his short (but impactful) life by trying to transfer his essence in lines & colour. his prescience was staggering.
i know he'd still be the most badarse plant-eater on earth if he hadn't tangoed with the medicine he used to numb himself to the pain of this world - but at least the costa rican rainforest he bought with his hollywood money is protected still.
