This week the theme word at TAW is FLY. It occurred to me that there must be a moment when a woman thinks she is old enough to fly whenever she wants, fly meaning whatever she wants.

Ladies: Elke Maravilha (Brazilian actress, 71) and Daphne Selfe (British model, 87); Sky, stars, fireflies and overlay: Createwing Designs; owl: hyperactive activate; bird: Graphics Fairy.

It was written in the stars

It was written in the stars

What was written in the stars shall be

It was written in the skies

That the heart and not the eyes shall see

This week the theme word in Take a Word is STARS. I was inspired by the song It Was Written in the Stars, by Harold Arlen, with lyrics by Leo Robin, in the voice of the great Ella Fitzgerald. It was written for the movie Casbah (1948). As I haven't seen it I chose another one: It happened One Night, directed by Frank Capra, starring Clark Gable and Claudette Colbert. Love it.

Silhouetted In The Moonlight

Silhouetted in the moonlight you'll linger on

Hi, guys! This is my contribution to The Three Muses which  challenge this week is Silhouettes. I was very much inspired by the song that entitles this collage.

Le croissant de lune

Hi! Take a Word asked for MOON and I decided to try a different approach. The only problem is that now I need a snack!

I googled cookies and croissant; background by ShippD; the pair are Ryan and Tatum O'Neal in Paper Moon (1973).

Movie Memories

I have a theory that movies operate on the level of dreams, where you dream yourself.

The theme word in Take a Word is MEMORIES. I was stuck with this one, then I decided to work with my movie memories. The first try was a mess because there were too many movies. I started all over again with this tiny selection of my favorite movies: Rear Window, Wings of Desire, Blade Runner, Singing in the Rain, The piano, Casablanca, Breakfast at Tiffany's, Amélie, Some Like it Hot, Amarcord. 

“People who LIKE movies have a favorite. People who LOVE movies couldn't possibly choose.” ― Nicole Yatsonsky 

O tema em Take a Word é "memórias". Eu não conseguia decidir como começar, então resolvi trabalhar com minhas memórias cinematográficas. A primeira tentativa ficou uma bagunça porque tinha filmes demais. Comecei tudo de novo com essa pequeníssima seleção de meus filmes favoritos: Janela Indiscreta, Asas do Desejo, Blade Runner, Cantando da Chuva, O Piano, Casablanca, Bonequinha de Luxo, O Fabuloso Destino de Amélie Poulain, Quanto mais Quente Melhor, Amarcord. "Pessoas que gostam de cinema têm um filme favorito. Pessoas que amam cinema simplesmente não conseguem escolher." - Nicole Yatsonsky.
