This is my economic miracle of the day.

The Ballad Of Cable Hogue
Immediately after finishing work on "The Wild Bunch" (1969), director Sam Peckinpah started working on "The Ballad Of Cable Hogue" (1970).
While the "The Wild Bunch" is his most famous film, this one seems to be his finest.
It definetely was his favorite.
Cable Houge, played by Jason Robards, while walking through the dessert:
"Ain't had no water since yesterday, Lord. Gettin' a little thirsty. Just thought I'd mention it. Amen."
"Yesterday, I told you I was thirsty and I thought you might turn up some water. Now about sinnin', you just send me a drop or two and I won't do it no more... whatever in hell it was that I did. I mean that, Lord."
"Four days without water... if you don't think I've put in my sufferin' time, you oughta try goin' dry for a spell. Listen to me! Listen to me! If I don't get some soon, I ain't gonna have no chance to repent."
Then, when he "found water where it wasn't" he digs a well and sets up a business:
Great movie with great lines. More quotes here.
And the trailer here.
What sticks with me, is the soundtrack. Each of the main characters has a theme, Hogue "Tomorrow is the Song I Sing", Hildy "Butterfly Morning", and Joshua, the priest "Wait for Me, Sunrise", which is cleverly woven in all along. Can't get it out of my head.

Happy Birthday, Barbie!
Barbie turns 50 today, and she has never been looking better. And Ken's new looks... !!
Thank you, Herr Lagerfeld.
“The doll sells the fashion and the fashion sells the doll.” Ruth Handler.
True. For the last fifty years Barbie was always dressed in vogue.
Ruth Handler is sort of Barbie's "mum". On a trip to Europe she bought three Bild-Lilli-Dolls and took them to America. She pursuaded Mattel to produce dolls with adult physiognomy.
Here are a some more images of Bild-Lilli and some more info. Read about Bild Lilli's histoy here.
Dolls with adult appearance were not a new. Basically Barbie is following the tradition of french fashion dolls of the 19. century.

Work in progress
Though it is Sunday I am working away here at the studio since lunchtime. Just leaving every now and then, to get myself a cup of coffee. When I entered the room again, some strips of fabric that I just ironed, hanging over a board, looked like a painting to me.

Naked people
Clothes are our second skin, used for hiding or expressing our inner self. But can we trust the shell? What's underneath?
Naked people. Click on the images and the clothes disapear.
