Mid Century Elegance
Mid Century Elegance: it's a subject in which I consider myself an expert, having grown up in it and around it in a town less than 20 miles south of San Francisco. Here I am with my mother Jane Johnson circa 1965.
This is what we all aspired to prior to the mid sixties: Norman Parkinson's breathtaking 1950 portrait of Jean Patchett for Vogue Magazine.
And then when Flower Power came, we were still OK with it because it was so beautiful.
And then I was lucky enough to hear Angela Davis lecture at UCLA.
And lucky enough to march with Cesar Chavez.
And watch this guy doing his mime act all over San Francisco. It was Robin Williams!
This beautiful actress, Brenda Aoki, was the cousin of my late dear friend Joanne Aoki.
I could go on and on, but driving home a point too long is not Little Missy style. Just remember this: Mid Century Elegance belongs to all of us. And I was lucky enough to be brought up in the Bay Area where that meant something!
Happy Sunday!
Love Little Missy
