The voice jumped me out of my daze. All five foot two inches of fire breathing hell that she was. Since I wasn’t too fond of procrastination, and wasn’t looking forward to losing my fucking mind, we were gonna have to speed things up.īesides the clock was already ticking since I’d seen it, which meant that from this moment on, she was mine. If the tall tales bore any truth, then it won’t be long before she was all I thought about before I finally took her beneath me. It was said that the man grew increasingly possessive and pretty much loses his fucking mind. The male’s obsessiveness in the tales was always a bit fantastical for my taste, but if there was any truth to them, then I might be in trouble. My family had a whole cabinet of documents dedicated to what I had always counted as an old wife’s tale. It had been that way with my mom and my grandma and the others before them.

From left to right: Ivan Chermayeff, Tom Geismar, and Sagi Haviv Some of their most recent projects include new logos for Armani Exchange and the Library of Congress. In 2008, designer Sagi Haviv became the third principal partner at the firm, and the youngest in its history. Their logos for high-profile corporations are instantly recognisable, including designs for Mobil, Time Warner, Viacom, and Xerox (before their recent re-brand), and for institutions such as the New York Public Library, the Smithsonian, and the Museum of Modern Art.

Ivan Chermayeff and Tom Geismar met as students at Yale in the mid 1950s. 5/21/2023 0 Comments Vanina Vanini by StendhalIts characters are neither idealized nor familiar, and if the ending appears to be tragic, it's as open-ended as that of a continuing serial. ROBERTO ROSSELLINI'S "Vanina Vanini," which opens today at the Little Theater in Joseph Papp's Public Theater, is one of the last more or less conventional theatrical films that Rossellini made before he began that extraordinary series of "teaching films" ("The Rise of Louis XIV," "The Age of the Medici," "Socrates," among others) on which he was still working at the time of his death in 1976.I emphasize "more or less conventional" because although "Vanina Vanini," based on a Stendhal short story, seems to be a highly romantic melodrama set against the background of Italy's Risorgimento, it's not to be so easily categorized. 5/21/2023 0 Comments Lawrence cohen playful parentingProfessional journals and popular magazines, and he has Cohen is the author of numerous published articles in Magazine was the winner of the 2003 Golden Lamp award fromĭr.
