Two Women, One Smoking

Musical Accompaniment: If I Can Dream by Elvis Presley, from his 68 Comeback Special.

 

Well at the beginning of the week, I was writing about looking your best and listening to Billie Holiday.

Now that it’s Wednesday,  my frequency is running a little lower and this uncredited picture from 1900 is resonating with me more. It’s called Two Women, One Smoking . And a very good title that is.

If anyone could  pull me out of a mid-week slump, it’s the King.  I never heard this song until yesterday. How beautiful and powerful his voice is. Listening to him reanimates me!

One thought on “Two Women, One Smoking

  1. Nothing like Elvis! We saw him at the International Hotel in Las Vegas on our tenth anniversary in 1975.

    The woman on the left in the photograph seems to be unhappy with the fortune in the cards the cigarette lady is telling her.
