She takes her bike and paints it green. She hangs a white basket off the front and places a bell on the handlebar. She doesn’t wear spandex, but a flirty skirt. A smart, navy jacket rounds out the ensemble. Putting her bag in the basket, she pushes off towards her destination. The crisp morning air as she moves through it brings a slight blush on her cheeks. Her sunglasses catch the sun and she flashes that smile of hers as she enjoys the morning ride. Picture perfect.

Here’s to girls that ride bikes. The greatest invention. The bike. Plus, females. The two combine for beautiful motion. They are things to be happy about.

Morning, Mon Amour

Emmanuelle Riva as the Girl from Never in “Hiroshima, Mon Amour.” Thought she looked beautiful in these shots. Loved that she’s wearing a yukata. She’s just radiant in the morning.

I’m sleeping on my couch with the television on. I left on TCM because it’s the only channel that isn’t some infomercial. When I wake up early, the show was some musical. It kind of sucked so I changed to Fox Movie Channel.

And I stopped because it was a movie with Henry Fonda being conned. No, not “The Lady Eve,” but “Rings On My Fingers.” The girl he falls in love with though is Gene Tierney.

Wow. She’s absolutely beautiful.

I had to go on a ride, but I’ve tivo’ed the film, which if I am not mistaken, I tried to watch already.

Ms. Tierney most famous role was the dead girl, Laura, in the eponymous movie. She’s a really, really, beautiful brunette.
