Truman's Swans

(July 28, 1929-May 19, 1994) No words today, just a pictorial homage to the one and only JBKO.

“I loathe narcissism, but I approve of vanity." Diana Vreeland

"I have an absurd kind of extravagance. If I see an orchid that’s fantastically expensive, I’ll buy it. It’s worth it, for no other reason than it gives me pleasure." Lee Radziwill

  “More tears are shed over answered prayers than unanswered ones” Truman Capote

  “When you're bored with yourself, marry and be bored with someone else” The Duke of Windsor

“A little bad taste is like a nice splash of paprika. We all need a splash of bad taste—it's hearty, it's healthy, it's physical. I think we could use more of it. No taste is what I'm against."

“My major regret in life is that my childhood was unnecessarily lonely” Truman Capote
