I think this was the image that secured my love for Brazilian supermodels. Rest in peace Irving Penn and many thanks.

The Steve McQueen book I wanted for Christmas? Yeah, I own that now. What's next? I want the Richard Avedon book, Performance. It has one of my favorite editorials, Suzy Parker and a young Mike Nichols as a Liz and Dick. There's something so cool and slick about the two of them. Once again, Avedon rules.
