Leap Year, Baby....

"I treated art as the supreme reality and life as a mere mode of fiction."
-- Oscar Wilde

Count  Balthasar Klossowski de Rola 

When Balthazar Klossowski turned six, he had a large birthday party in his family's apartment in Paris. Birthdays were a funny business for "Baltusz" — as everyone called him. Since he had been born on February 29 in 1908, his family did not know precisely when to celebrate except on leap years.....

to re-phrase OW
 and succinctly(my favourite word) sum up B...
Life is an absurd Fiction-Folly,
only Art contains any Truth and Beauty.

Heartfelt wishes to all 

for some Holiday Magic.    

Thank you to those who stop by here on occasion,

and to those that I visit who so inspire me 

with your wonderful 

images and words.

Pip Squeak Chapeau

 I have one, in black that I adore.........

 I've never received 

so many smiles and compliments
as when I wear it!

or,
a Crown and some Wings?

 favourite photos from
  Bloom,
proving a girl can be a fairy princess at any age!

or basic black and a fur throw...

I like this for the

insouciant/nonchalant

"I've just dropped by the party"
look....

I used to wear my hair just like this....
Maybe a fringe is in order?
Now that I'm wearing glasses, this might be my New Look?
(Apologies, no clue where this  photo is from.)

a ballgown....

really festive!

Might be good for the church activities.
I have a major one
the day after Epiphany
(January 7)
