LIZ TAYLOR AND ROPE TRICKS FOR THE WEEKEND


Moments come when I wonder why I am driven to classic images of beauty like Marilyn Monroe and Elizabeth Taylor. Is there some golden age effect here that endows these retro stars with a certain unique class, or is it just that these are the images of my formative years – fetishized and totemized – and I have simply become so old that I’m more comfortable with yesteryear? But, then again, who could equate Liz Taylor with Lindsay Lohan?

Nah....
They were real, not plastic.

real they were, but still in a process of plastifying.

looking better at the image, it could even be one of those high class fashion mag's picture of isabella Rossellini.

And the gorgeous Rossellini is no spring chicken.

Two words -- Maggie Gyllenhaal.

Liz with rope? Maggie Gyllenhaal? Do I detect a latent bondage theme?

Latent is in the eye of the beholder.
