For my birthday, Bon Iver baked me a layer cake with a different flavor of frosting for each quality of mine that he loves best. A layer of pineapple for my sunny outlook. A layer of strawberry for my sweet disposition. A layer of lemon for my biting sense of humor. A rose-flavored layer for my beauty. And a layer of darkest chocolate for the depth of our love. 

It is unexpectedly delicious.

I can’t handle this blog….

One of the reasons why I love Vivien Leigh is that although she had striking beauty ( which often, at first, overshadowed her marvelous personality) until people, getting over her physical appearance, actually had conversations with her and realized how knowledgeable she was . So many accounts speak of her wit and intelligence.

“I used to make for her rather better tea than her dresser would have done. At first I went because I enjoyed looking at her… But very soon I went because I enjoyed her company and was fascinated by her character. She was not only intelligent, she had style… Vivien’s conversation had much in common with that of Gwendolen in The Importance of Being Earnest; which examples imply an ear for the rhythm of words, a personal voice, and an occasional sacrifice of the whole truth in the interests of economy. These seem to me the chief characteristics of style, and Vivien had them all.”
-Sir Kenneth Clark (Director of the National Gallery, among others)
[ from Vivien Leigh by Hugo Vickers]

I am sketching Bon Iver as he works in his music room. ‘I’m having trouble with the rhythm,’ he says. He taps a frame drum, tinkers with the temple blocks, and spends quite a bit of time with the castanets we brought back from Valencia, nestled in my beach towel. In my drawing, his brows are pulled together in concentration.

Finally he rises from his stool and comes to me. He places his hand over my heart and we are silent for awhile, breathing and waiting. ‘Yes,’ he finally whispers. ‘Yes.’

Quality.

I mean…. That’s a Tony relationship?
