Summer Lovers

This movie was so, so silly.  But it was also really pretty (takes place in the Greek Islands) and has some great wardrobe choices.  Plus lots of nakedness.

Psychedelic

I've been reading this lately, which has got me fascinated with the psychedelic movement in the 60's.  Very interesting. (All photos from Life).

I mean, seriously,

Look at the man (from Life).

Travels with Charley

Reading this one right now, and loving it.  I may go on a Steinbeck kick after this, which is a bit of a revolution for me--I hated him in high school.  I also may have a crush on him.

Fishing

I haven't been in ages, but I'm tempted to see if I can fit in a fishing trip before summer's over.  And I totally couldn't resist that Paul Newman picture (swoon).  All photos from Life.

Landscapes

I've been thinking a lot about deserts lately--probably because of this.  I have fantasies of being able to survive in the desert, sensing where the water is and when to seek shelter.  But that's not reality right now, so maybe I'll just drive there sometime soon. (All images from Life).
