Lee Radziwill meets Continuity Pleas

Image

Today is exactly 3 months since I started this blog. I have not missed a day; that’s 91 daily posts. I celebrate by presenting two pages today.

The first is of Lee Radziwill, a tragic figure if ever I saw one. Many of the people who gave her life weight–sister Jackie, brother-in-law Jack, Her former husband and son, both princes, and Andy Warhol and Truman Capote–are long gone.Today, she bears enough of a resemblance to Jackie that it is easy to imagine what Jackie would have looked like, had she lived this long.

By the way, Wikipedia says it’s not pronounced RAD zee will, but RRAH gee veeaw. Yet another cross for her to bear is that probably almost no one can say her name correctly.

Sympathies and best of luck to Lee, who is actually Caroline, a beautiful name once worn by my grandmother, who died before I was born. On to Continuity Pleas:

This page was started a long, long time ago. I don’t have much to say about it except that I am glad to have reduced my unfinished projects by one this morning. Also: aside from the triple acrostic, I gave myself the additional constraint of using a maximum of three words per line. Oh, and Beale Street is a famous landmark of Memphis, Tennesee.

    Hi Gary,

    Yous consistency in this project has inspired me: when my daughter pointed out a promotional project Neil Gaiman was doing for BlackBerry, and when I noticed it still had 20 days left, I decided it was doable. So I have been doing about a drawing a day myself, just two to go now. The result are here: http://michelresidence.wordpress.com/ and the Tales are here: http://bit.ly/14haxWJ.

    Regards,
    Michel Lamontagne

      So claims New York Times Magazine, as of quite recently. Amazing, eh? –Oh, wait; you didn’t mean Lee Radziwill; you meant my mother with child. Poetic and artistic license, my friend. šŸ™‚
