Tonight I got home to see flowers for beloved Elvira sent with love from her dear friend, Gilda Grego. They sit on the table, beneath her brother Emile Kanim‘s conceptual planning for his book on earth sustainability titled, Plentitude. Befitting.
~Remembering, dear. beautiful. Elvira~
To have friends who love your memory is comforting, reflective of a very gorgeous life as these les fleurs blanc bare witness to this fact. Friendship is like fragant flowers, being shared from the heart.
Aunt Elvira would have loved these hot numbers. Just the thought of them, let alone their presence. Thank you Gilda Grego for being a wonderful and thoughtful friend. Your written words say it all.
I write these words as Aunt Elvis’ great nephew and niece, Matthew and Kelly Bryan and friends may jet out to the Hollywood Bowl, to catch Planet Earth Live with the LA Philharmonic Orchestra performing outdoors to the BBC’s footage, underneath the stars. Or, just chill instead too. Again, the Earth is something this family celebrate. Nature is the best teacher.
And as the performance arts is what we all do, both on and off the camera or stage, or blogs, or music concerts or in movie theaters on the silver screen and physicians theater rooms, or island view beachside vistas, gardens, books, (a-hem) tennis courts, court rooms, military bands, canvases, sculpting blocks, jewelry shop windows or in stem cell research laboratories, the phosphorescent depths of the deep sea, the Hollywood Hills, the Mountains of Arizona, China or Hasbaya Lebanon and down the runways of fashion too, here’s a little Rita Hayworth for your entertainment tonight from 1946, especially for GG’s sweetness as a friend. Put the blame on sweetness and fun and a zest for life, always. Go Gilda Grego. And, go baby Elm too.

THERESA DOES CROSSWORD YOGA, MAORI JAZZ POETRY IN NEW ORLEANS, FORMOSA HISTORY, DR. MATT TELLS ME IAN AND JAMIE ARE IN TOWN FROM CHINA – AND SIR ELTON JOHN AND BILLY JOEL ARE OVER THE CELEBRITY REHAB HOLLYWOOD TREND ALREADY TOO
Crossword girl sits opposite me in the cafe, her feet in a cross-legged position on her chair as she scribbles, like it’s yoga class over coffee. It’s good to see someone writing in this day and age. Like, with a pen. I jump on Facebook and see my friend Dale from Wellington, Aotearoa-New Zealand wants to head to New Orleans for the Jazz & Heritage Festival this year. How cultured of her.
Dale must already be over racking up ten out of ten tans in Hawaii. Dale did that twice last year and loved it, but perhaps New Orleans would be more fun. She reads books anyway, so how’s that going to mesh with our spicy crawfish gumbo, serious paella palate research and sarsaparilla vodka martini sessions, with all the beaut music that dance-loving Maoris will instantly want to do, if I go with her? The world’s hottest books list, might feel a bit neglected, this US trip of Dale’s.
Then there’s all those vampire movie sets we’ll have to visit in New Orleans too, like where the Twilight Saga kids (Kristen Stewart, Alex Meraz, Taylor Lautner and Robert Pattinson) all are filming, or where Oscar winner Anna Paquin‘s True Blood cast film too, or even where Brad Pitt, Kirsten Dunce and Tom Cruise filmed the Anne Rice novel adaptation too, of that film, Interview with a
PoliticianVampire we’ll have to get photographs of at – as well, if we do New Orleans with a Hollywood Maori twist. I don’t know if I can cope without my new Orthodox Jewish friends nearby for too long these days in such political-economic climates of the world; or when you pick up any newspaper. But I think I just might manage.Of course we should as Dale and I always had movie dates in the nation’s capitol of Wellington when we both worked in government in New Zealand on Sundays, so we should keep our tradition going as US movie loving hori film buffs. Already the possibilities of fun in New Orleans are sounding tres exciting, and that’s months away. I know Dale already has friends there, so that could be rivetingly wild as Dale does biz too. She’s a bright spark with a fine sense of Nati humor, I have always been proud of to have as my friend.
Knowing Dale though, while I’m running around vampire set locations, she’ll be more green thinking conscience, like wanting to go and meet the real people of New Orleans who live in the lakes and inlet areas, to talk to them about how they managed to clean up the environment after the gulf oil spill crises with BP. Remember that?
