  2. Drool. Drool. Drool. What a delicious compilation. And oh dear wherever did you gather that yummy photo of Mr. Craig? Can't wait to see him on Broadway this September. May I kindly offer: the NYT's alias "the Grey Lady" and that lovely HBO documentary "Grey Gardens."

  6. Hi LA. We are so channeling each other...almost did another gray post today but had a road trip planned with my 17 year old boy and had to keep it short. AND have a great Cecil Beaton photo dying to use...have you seen the Vogue Living Houses, Garden,People spread on his house? (Ummm...lots of Madonna and colored sheep but that's another story). If I use it I will definitely link to your content because you've got him all wrapped up. What SHALL we think of next?

  7. Hi Trouvais- I love your grisaille pieces- mine take on a decidedly mod bent and tried to just do things that were coming up this fall- Gray is a color that seems to be of the moment. Can't wait to cecil- I am into puns at the moment! I would appreciate the link- and loved doing the same with yours.You know your images are perfect to my eye. I have you on my blog love roll.

  9. Thank you kindly for the citation and your continued input. You are too kind. As for the TMK tribute: I've been unsuccessfully on the hunt for an audio clip of actor John Hanna's reading of the poem. Poems are meant to be herd, acted. There are video clips but seemed oddly distasteful to add a film clip to the post. It is a very personal piece and one that paints a haunting portrait of loss.

  10. la: My favorite post! So many inspiring pics....eye candy. Thank you for the tribute. And though grey is of the moment it is also, as we know, timeless. Until next time love!

  19. Ah, beautiful soothing, elegant gray.

    gray has a new fan in Carla Bruni, first lady of France - I think it must be one of her favorite colors too - she carries it off beautifully!
