That’s a Great Pyrenees – We had a Great Pyrenees once upon a time. Her name was Sophie. She was a gentle giant who had a rough start in life but then lucked out (and she knew it).
Her name is Susanne Ruseler, and she travels the world, sculpting in sand, ice, snow, and other ephemeral materials, on commission for special events, or in contests and exhibitions.
She’s so good at it you’d think she’d want to produce some permanent work.
Some of her pieces are huge, and much more complex than this one.
Israel Kamakawiwo’ole, or IZ, was very popular in Hawaii and his fame has spread. The scene at the end, with all the boats and banners like “IZ LIVES” was the scattering of his ashes in his beloved Hawaiian waters.

Love this picture!

Wonder where this is… that snowsuit(?)… especially the hood(?)… looks unusual here.
And check out her fingernails!
They’re awfully big to be explained by nail polish… probably stick-on nails.
Maybe it’s her birthday! 🙂
Gloves? And it looks like a knitted bonnet under the snowsuit hood.
agree
her dog is cute, too.

That’s the artist, in the picture…

two buddies out for their morning stroll.
They’re struttin’ their way to the discotheque.
A duck and a cat walk into a bar…
I understand that this was recorded in one take.

So many accessories, so much makeup… my first impression was 1930’s drag queens!
But I don’t think so… I think just ladies .. so to speak… strutting their stuff.

The image is actually labelled “The Paris fashion of 1930s– photo by Meurisse.
“Meurisse” is a studio, not a person… and I’m pegging it a lot closer to 1930 than 1939.
This LINK agrees that you are spot on with your 1930 assessment. It says the photograph was taken at the 1930 Kentucky Derby.
Two things:
1) At 1 minute 28 seconds:
I think a case could be made that Coca-Cola’s advertising company stole her Santa Claus.
2) I’m posting her caption for her obviously political cartoon shown at 3 minutes 1 second; publishing that cartoon took a lot of bravery.
PETE — Am dis much bettah dan de ole slav’ry days, Uncle Tom?
UNCLE TOM — I dunno sactly. In dem times we was too valy’ble to be lynched!
Pete Beard has put another good one together. Thanks for posting it.

I’m losing my mailing memory… can’t remember to get anything into an envelope or put it in the mailbox on time…

Meanwhile, sometimes I’m surprised that Cleo has no jailing memory.

LOL!
Cleo should also have a ‘nailing memory’ from Friday when she had a hammer.
