A Very Contented & Ladylike Sigh

A fashion sketch by Sir Cecil Beaton, presumably for a costume for a film production. I'm too lazy to investigate it. I just want to remain gazing upon it...

If you do join them and write there, then you can count on me reading you. *wink*

Tiger Woods Would Probably Agree With Me
