Donna Summers: December 31, 1948 – May 17, 2012

I was so lucky to be able to see you perform in Weston, CT when I was a young girl.  I will always remember singing along to ‘On the Radio’ while stuffed in the back seat of our station wagon with my sisters.  You are the original disco Queen and will live on forever.

Mending some pieces before Hester Street Fair this Saturday. Come visit!

Clara Gordon Bow, destined to become THE flapper of the 1920’s, was born and raised in poverty in Brooklyn, New York, on July 29, 1905. Her mother tried to slit Clara’s throat when she attempted to enter the film industry. She won a photo beauty contest which launched her movie career that would eventually number 58 films, from 1922 to 1933. It was the movie It (1927), which was to define her career.  She married cowboy star, Rex Bell at the age of 26 and retired from the film world at the age of 28.  Plagued by personal crises, a weight problem and mental instability, she never made another film. She died in 1965.
