Lullaby

It is a summer evening. The yellow moths sag against the locked screens and the faded curtains suck over the window sills and from another building a goat calls in his dreams. This is the TV parlor in the best ward at Bedlam. The night nurse is passing out the evening pills. She walks on two erasers, padding by us one by one.My sleeping pill is white. It is a splendid pearl; it floats me out of myself, my stung skin as alien as a loose bolt of cloth. I will ignore the bed. I am linen on a shelf. Let the others moan in secret; let each lost butterfly go home. Old woolen head, take me like a yellow moth while the goat calls hush-a-bye.

- Anne Sexton

““I live here all alone with my snowball, my little white poodle – he was given to me by my dear old friend Frank Sinatra. I call him Maf.” Marilyn Monroe on Maf. 

Maf was a gift from Frank Sinatra gave Marilyn. Frank had purchased the dog from Natalie Wood’s mother. Marilyn named the dog Mafia Honey, as a humorous reference to Sinatra’s alleged connection with the mafia.

Maf would tend to sleep on the expensive white beaver coat of Marilyn’s, that was gifted to her from Arthur Miller. 

—In these collection of photos you can see personal photos of Maf taken by Marilyn herself! And also a dog license of Marilyn’s about Maf, and one of his toys he played with. 

After Marilyn passed away, Maf was inherited by Frank Sinatra’s secretary, Gloria Lovell. Although Maf didn’t live much longer after Marilyn passed, he unfortunately was run over and passed away on the 8th of August, 1974. 

In the first photo, Marilyn is photographed with her snowball and with James Haspiel, (a fan and friend of Marilyn’s) in 1961.”

TIANE DOAN NA CHAMPASSAK , Paris – Hollywood

“In this subtle sequel of his rearrangement of the Thai adult magazine “Siam’s Guy”, Tiane Doan na Champassak revisits a number of issues from the iconic magazine “Paris-Hollywood”, launched in France in the 1940s. In the middle

of its pages, the original magazine had the particularity of offering pin-ups in relief or on tracing paper that the readers could undress. By using his extensive arsenal of postmodern tools, Doan na Champassak cannibalizes the original content with his own photographs, creating a hypnotic dialogue between then and now, recto-verso, dressed-undressed, Bangkok-Paris, Paris-Hollywood. In addition, the alternation between censoring the genitalia and hiding the identity adds a thought-provoking rhythm to the whole.“




Andrew Wyeth 
Christina's World
1948
“Set in the stark landscape of coastal Maine, Christina’s World depicts a young woman seen from behind, wearing a pink dress and lying in a grassy field. Although she appears to be in a position of repose, her torso, propped on her arms, is strangely alert; her silhouette is tense, almost frozen, giving the impression that she is fixed to the ground. She stares at a distant farmhouse and a group of outbuildings, ancient and grayed in harmony with the dry grass and overcast sky.

Wyeth’s neighbor Anna Christina Olson inspired the composition, which is one of four paint­ings by Wyeth in which she appears. As a young girl, Olson developed a degenerative muscle condition—possibly polio—that left her unable to walk. She refused to use a wheelchair, preferring to crawl, as depicted here, using her arms to drag her lower body along. “The challenge to me,” Wyeth explained, “was to do justice to her extraordinary conquest of a life which most people would consider hopeless.”

The high level of detail Wyeth gave to every object in his paintings encourages intense inspection, but his titles reveal the inner significance of their outwardly straightforward subjects. The title Christina’s World, courtesy of Wyeth’s wife, indicates that the painting is more a psychological landscape than a portrait, a portrayal of a state of mind rather than a place.“

My dream from last night...
Me, Kirsten and Carys moved into a hotel and I had a room on the ground floor. My room and it had all glass walls and many doors. X and I were in bed together, He took off his hat and he had these long strands of hair like Gollum from Lord of The Rings. I pretended I liked it even though it repulsed me. We fell asleep in bed together and I woke up in the middle of the night, All the doors in my room which lead to the street were wide open. I was terrifed and confused. I felt violated and exposed. The night was dark outside the open doors and the glass walls. I felt the terror of the night, I had the night terrors . Yellow street lights cast shadows on the walls. I shut the doors and went to sleep, and when I woke up inside my dream I couldn’t remember wether I had dreamed waking up and seeing the open doors or if it had really happened.

A few notes...
My sweet sweet boy, take me back to this day. 
The pain of humilliation.
Sadie’s vomit room / The Desperate Kingdom of Love.

There was God inside her bithday cake and there was God in the touch of her mothers warm hand on her shoulder. She focused on the soft glow of the tiny flames, in the dark kitchen, in the big house. Yellow in the blue dark. Her parents singing in the dark.
When she was little Sadie slept with open eyes. She dreamed wonderful dreams, of knights and dragons, of castle gardens full of blooming lillies and roses, of a frog prince and her, the beautiful princess, all grown up. All grown up and beautiful. They appeared like puppets before her face in the dark. Her own secret place to  inhabit that she’d been haunting since birth. On the night of her seventh birthday, she dreamed the most vivid dream of them all. She dreamed a tower, which climbed high into the sky, high above the hills. Inside the tower was a long spiral staricase. At the top of the tower was a circular room, and inside was a girl, who was her. The girl was half child half woman. She 21 and grown up, but she was not grown up beautiful, and she was not grown up properly. She was sick and in pain and trapped and alone. The sky outside of the only small window was always grey. She had to strain her neck and stand on her tip toes to see the ground below.
