Where once the world had been so small
that letters wore stamps
postmarked weary
like travellers on foot
siberia to africa
in another life
another time
where once eyes wide
with all that was wonderful
in this bright new world
saw promise and hope
reflected upon the screen
now
it is all of humanity
that pours forth
ignoring and repeating
reviling and revolting
having forgotten history
and how
to just turn it off

Stay tuned to the entries in the Weekly Photo Challenge: Humanity.

That’s the last time I listen to you, Spike… Where in tarnation… We’re in the Legion now – no more showgirls or fancy French champagne for us. If you thought that gangster was a tough cookie just wait ’til you get a load of these guys!  Non, je ne regrette rien…

Paco Rabanne, enfant terrible of French fashion in the 60s, was one of the first to use black models – here Donyale Luna, the first African American to appear on the cover of British Vogue, was photographed by Richard Avedon wearing one of Rabanne’s controversial metal and plastic link creations.

Anyone in a dress that radical would have needed this as an accessory…
