This was on the ABC Nightly News today.... very touching, really, to see an icon pass on. I can't help wondering if her hand/arm position was a secret message....
ReplyDeleteYour blog has added so much to my year in 2010. Many thanks!
And looking forward to more...
As a Brooklyn kid, I am familiar with the secret message in question. :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for your kind appreciation, Elaine. There should be lots more Orange Crate Art to come.
Pink does a Doyle vignette in the video for her Raise a Glass anthem. Pink has the muscles for real.
ReplyDeleteThanks, fboness. I probably would never have known about it save for your comment.
ReplyDeleteFor anyone who wants to see the video, it’s here.
I love propaganda posters. One of my favorites was also from World War II, from a neutral country to boot: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/En_svensk_tiger
ReplyDeleteWhat a cute tiger, like something from a children’s book.
ReplyDeleteBTW, I bought T-shirt in Sweden some years back that is a send-up of the "En Svensk Tiger" poster, featuring an angry-looking moose with blue and yellow tiger stripes.
