Philippe Morillon Wallpaper

Philippe Morillon is a French painter, photographer, and art director who has created some fantastic wallpapers illustrating his favorite art-world buddies. I am 100% in love with them; they're so funny and weird and pretty and perfect.

In the 70's, he created super-glamorous depictions of the Paris party scene (featured earlier on this blog), featuring socialites and celebrities that were part of his crew. Andy Warhol wrote the forward for his 1982 book of art, Ultra Lux.

Lauren Hutton by Richard Avedon for US Vogue, June 1968. Super cute swimsuit. I especially like the bra top. Also, that seems like an excessive amount of hair.

A still from 1976's "Alice Sweet Alice"

See more at the awesome movie-stills site, I Love Hot Dogs.

One funny thing about this movie, is that the little girl, played by Paula E. Sheppard ended up playing Adrian in "Liquid Sky." They were her only 2 movies!
Chrissy recognized her (even though she was a kid) since we had seen Liquid Sky only a couple of days before.

A bathroom in Polly Mellen's Connecticut home, by Eric Boman for US Vogue, April 2009. I "LOVE" those YSL posters!

A freakishly beautiful photograph. Here is the caption from Life Magazine, May 1947:

"On May Day, just after leaving her fiancé, 23-year-old Evelyn McHale wrote a note. ‘He is much better off without me … I wouldn’t make a good wife for anybody,’ … Then she crossed it out. She went to the observation platform of the Empire State Building. Through the mist she gazed at the street, 86 floors below. Then she jumped. In her desperate determination she leaped clear of the setbacks and hit a United Nations limousine parked at the curb. Across the street photography student Robert Wiles heard an explosive crash. Just four minutes after Evelyn McHale’s death Wiles got this picture of death’s violence and its composure."
