Marie Antoinette for No Good Reason

February 19, 2017

Marie Antoinette

Know what time it is?

Break time?

Hammer time?

Miller time?

Non, mademoiselle.

It's lovely time.

So take all you want.

All you need.

Breathe in pretty.

Exhale worries of the past.

Let lovely stretch before you.

And meet me for sweets, sweets...at the finish line.

Marie Antoinette

Hollywood's favorite photography artist

Tyler Shields explored the obsession

with Marie Antoinette in an

exhibition titled

Decadence.

My better judgment tells me it is indeed not a

dapper Jimmy Carter (below) viewing Tyler's work

at a gallery in London, but if it's

fine with you, I'll go on believing it is.

Decadence - Tyler Shields

Tyler Shields has created a book of edgy provocative images
reflecting what shifting landscapes look and feel like to his soul
in the 21st century, and this is my favorite capture in it:

Provacatueur, Glitterati (2017)

From the photographer's bio:

"What does it mean to be alive in the 21st century? How does it look? How will it look 500 years from now in the future, in five years? What does it take for an image to capture attention throughout the deep-gaze of time and the ever more increasing scrutiny of the platform of the contemporary space of art, now, then and a thousand tomorrows from today, or a thousand ‘likes’ from now?"

Color me provoked, Tyler.
And now pondering "a thousand likes from now."
Cake too.
Also macarons from Ladurée which just
popped up for a second time
(on Beverly Drive this time)
in the city of stars.
