I just read a piece in the Atlantic on John Didion by Caitlin Flanagan.

http://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/2012/01/the-autumn-of-joan-didion/8851/

"...and early Didion by the ravishing photographs of the mysterious girl-woman: sitting barelegged on a stone balustrade; posing behind the wheel of her yellow Corvette; wearing an elegant silk gown and staring off into space, all alone in a chic living room."

“What makes Iago evil? Some people ask. I never ask.”
― Joan Didion, Play it as it Lays

The essence of cool elegance. And a brilliant writer, some have such rich karma.
Lovely and nuanced piece D.

Very nice, Duane. It almost has a mural-like quality, meaning it feels like it's painted on cement--or is that just her demeanor? (Don't you just love painting cigarettes? I do. Hate smoking, but love to draw it).
