Louise Brooks’ Knickerbocker Supreme of Chicken

Oh what a beauty!  Louise is definitely in my top three most beautiful screen icons.   I just love her on screen, and love all her studio shots and publicity photos too.  What a babe.

I made her favourite recipe tonight for two lovely men that I have no doubt if she had met she would love too.  Charley and Jan.

I can’t begin to explain how happy I am that they are getting their band back together after a few years of haitus.  It will be performance art and musicality combined to a greater good.  The thought of being present at a gig where at the end of a riotous guitar solo, a plastic tardis is lifted up to reveal Charley sitting on a toilet reading The Sun fills me with great joy! Hoorah!

I remember the first time I went back to Charley’s house when we were on the brink of a relationship.  I had no idea what his house would be like and immediately loved all the pez dispensers lining the walls just inside the front door.  And then there was Jan.  His flatmate.  Sitting on an orange plastic chair with black legs in the middle of his bedroom watching an ancient episode of Dr Who…  Ah memories!

People change but they stay the same too.  I thank my lucky stars for that.
