The Jesus And Mary Chain ♫ Just Like Honey (( Special Louise Brooks ))

The Jesus And Mary Chain sing "Just Like Honey" to imagery of Louise Brooks. I like this video, as I had seen the Jesus And Mary Chain perform in San Francisco in the late 1980s at the old I-Beam on Haight Street.

Louise Brooks on David Thomson book, Moments that Made the Movies

The great Tim Moore, Louise Brooks fan extraordinaire, spotted this book on the shelf at a local bookstore. Tim wrote:

Seen tonight at bn: "Moments That Made the Movies," David Thomson (2013). 120 years, 300 pages of images ... and who's that, glancing from the top of the spine? Louise Brooks in "Pandora's Box" (1928).

Louise Brooks Pendants

A Louise Brooks fan named Jann White has created a set of Louise Brooks pendants which she sells through her Etsy page, Relica Design. The pendants are 1" images of the actress under glass, set in silver on a silver chain. Pretty neat.

Jann White wrote to the Louise Brooks Society, "I am from Cherryvale, Kansas, having lived only a couple of blocks from where Miss Brooks lived, (and several years apart!), I have had an interest in her for quite some time." Check 'em out.
