Louise Brooks

OMD - Pandoras Box

Born in Kansas on an ordinary plain
Ran to New York but ran away from fame
Only seventeen when all your dreams come true
But all you wanted was someone to undress you
And all the stars you kissed could never ease the pain
Still the grace remains and though the face has changed
You’re still the same

And it’s a long long way from where you want to be
And it’s a long long road, but you’re too blind to see

Frame of silence of an innocent divine
Is a dangerous creation when you fall the test of time
And all the photographs of ghosts of long ago
Still they hurt you so, won’t let go
And you still don’t know

And it’s a long long way from where you want to be
And it’s a long long road, but you’re too blind to see

When you look around yourself now, do you recognize the girl
The one, who broke a thousand hearts, terrified the world

And all the stars you kissed could never ease the pain
Still the grace remains and though the face has changed
You’re still the same

And it’s a long long way from where you want to be
And it’s a long long road, but you’re too blind to see

And it’s a long long way from where you want to be
And it’s a long long road, but you’re too blind to see

Louise Brooks autographed picture- “Dear Winston- These earrings are a bit extreme-even for the 1920’s.” “I wish I still had that bracelet. I adore that dress-such an interesting pattern. Sincerely Louise Brooks”

Love it!

happy birthday dear Louise!

i12bent:Louise Brooks, (Nov. 14, 1906 - 1985), was an American dancer, model, showgirl and silent film actress, famous for pioneering the bobbed haircut. She also had a sharp wit and a marked feminist talent for creating playful identity constructs…

I’m pretty sure that is NOT Louise Brooks.
