Documenting the trials and musings of a young man wholly invested in the decorum of the world, the dress of its people, and why any of it matters in the first place. As fashions come and go, we hope the driving pulse stays the same. Realities change and confuse, while the soul holds the truth.

Unknown Beauty | Marion Morrison
A new book on the early years of John Wayne's career shows a stunning, and in my opinion hugely surprising, photographic look at the handsome young actor. It is no wonder Hollywood wanted this guy as their poster child. I would have too.
I saw a biography of him a long time ago, and they showed a picture of him in college. I would never have recognized him. He was gorgeous. He had long curly hair and he towered over the other students, wearing a beige jacket and an open at the collar white shirt. He looked like a model.
That is some great hair right there...
ReplyDeleteI can hardly believe that's him. He looks so charming, which is not a word I usually associate with him.
ReplyDeleteDoesn't that image almost look like it could be in a Ralph Lauren ad, or something of the like?
