Judy and Johnny just walked thru the door, like a queen with her king. Oh what a birthday surprise, she's wearing his ring.
Today's my birthday: I am so old it's scary. Actually, girls, just so you'll know: it is great getting old. If I knew then what I know now, I'd not have wasted such head space dreading it. I'd not have changed a thing about my life: just not have bothered the worrying part. Worrying about this boyfriend, will he call.. or any of it. My husband keeps coming in and giving me another kiss and saying again, 'Happy Birthday', then walking back out. Life is good.
Shot at Vogue's FNO, 8 September, 2011, outside perhaps Dolce & Gabanna. Sabine shot the same woman. She also turned, smiled, and posed for us, but we each happened to prefer the unposed shot, I guess.
It's like Paris in the Twenties, our blogs. It's like we're in some kind of virtual smoke filled cafe, in black & white, on the Left Bank. Artists & friends, influencing & inspiring each other.

Happy Birthday!
Love the shot. It's melancholy, but beautiful! Much better than posed.

Happy Birthday, dearest Jill. Sorry I've been so out of touch - nose in a book most of the time. Hope your birthday is as good as you deserve - although that's probably not possible.
xoxoxo
Have a great birthday, Jill!
What dress is out of this world. Love the color, textures, and the shoes and the fur stole. Love it all!!

Wishing you a really lovely birthday Jill, you are such an inspiration to me and I really admire your words about not worrying about growing older because it's actually great! Loved this: "It's like Paris in the Twenties, our blogs. It's like we're in some kind of virtual smoke filled cafe, in black & white, on the Left Bank. Artists & friends, influencing & inspiring each other". Influencing and inspiring each other - I couldn't think of a better definition for blogging Jill, and I know that even if I didn't blog myself I still wouldn't be able to stop reading blogs like yours. It's a give and take process - we give our own writings - our stories, our photographs, our hopes and dreams; and in return we get to consume everybody else's experiences - be they be good or bad. Blogging is a giant melting pot of life and our inspiration for it. May it long continue! xxx
Happy Birthday Jill! It's just another number, nothing else really changes apart from that :)
