Hot Stuff

I don't know if I could love this more. Mick Jagger is fantastic as a man and a woman.

You Got the Silver

Anita Pallenberg frightens me a little bit, but she is utterly fascinating. I get the feeling that she could eat people like me for breakfast. Anyway, I find her aesthetically and personally very intriguing. She's not exactly beautiful, but she is very attractive and striking. And she definitely knows how to wear clothes. Add in her riveting German accent and alluring, biting smile, and you have a lasting icon.

Marianne Faithfull says Keith Richards wrote You Got the Silver for her, which is one of my absolute favorite songs.

 

I just love this picture of her in St. Tropez for Mick and Bianca Jagger's wedding. What a fantastic outfit! Best of all-- that's not even her kid! I'm not sure who his parents are (drug dealers maybe?) but I don't know that I would trust Anita Pallenberg with my child...

Anita is a powerful and almost mythological figure. At one point she had three Rolling Stones wrapped around her fingers. She was an inspiration and agony to Brian Jones, Mick Jagger, and Keith Richards during the height of their popularity. She was Marianne Faithfull's partner in crime in the 1960s, and self-destructed almost as spectacularly afterward. According to Keith Richards' Life, she went dramatically insane and drug crazy for a period of time, but is all better now.

Sometimes I just really want to be Marianne Faithfull

Mick Jagger is Awesome

One day I will get over my Mick Jagger obsession, but until then:

Such epic photographs :)

Jagger/Richards

I don't know where I found this, but it's just wonderful.

I'm guessing this is Mick and Keith circa 1969.

Before Sunrise, Before Sunset

I can't even express what these beautiful films made me feel. I think I fell in love, was ripped apart, and then put back together over and over again. Ethan Hawke is the sexiest thing ever in Before Sunrise, and absolutely endearing (and still handsome) in Before Sunset. Julie Delpy is also amazing; she says so many things about women and relationships that could have come from my head.

Sometimes I busy myself with other things while watching TV, but with both these movies, I was RIVETED to the screen. They are almost like plays rather than films, with the focus on amazing and heartbreaking dialogue. I'm not really into Romance movies, but Before Sunrise and Before Sunset manage to be both sentimental and real. There is no perfect happy ending here, but you still feel that you have witnessed an epic romance.

These films just may have changed my life.
