The Music Lesson, by Henri Matisse, 1917
Sometimes I feel like I’m actually on the wrong planet. It’s great when I’m in my garden, but the minute I go out the gate I think, “What the hell am I doing here?”
i feel ya george. i really do.

Edith Head, iconic costume designer who dressed up such films as Vertigo, Sunset Boulevard, and Double Indemnity (lest we forget Eye of the Cat and The Cat and the Canary) was born today. To honor the occasion, here is a photo of her - taken by Bob Willoughby and currently in our Billy Rose Theatre Collection at our Library for Performing Arts - that happens to coincide perfectly with Caturday. It should be noted, by the way, that her career began early on, as little Edith was often seen dressing up her (what else) cats. Happy Caturday, and thanks again to LPA Photograph Librarian Jeremy Megraw, who continues to find Caturday gold. He’s just the cat’s pajamas!
