From Resa & Holly – House of Heart. It all began with a post displaying some of Frida’s clothing. Gigi dedicated that post to me. Click on the pic below, and visit Frida’s costumes. I told Gigi I was going to draw Frida, and style an outfit for her, in her spirit. This was met […]
Frida Kahlo – for Gigi — Art Gowns
Rethinking Life 
Comments on: "Frida Kahlo – for Gigi — Art Gowns (I am overwhelmed by this wonderful post from Resa and Holly. It’s so beautiful and I am incredibly grateful for all their work and especially for their generous friendship–thank you so much, I’m honored–Gigi)" (55)
It’s nice that you have a small circle of friends like Resa, Holly, Melanie and yours truly…
You’re absolutely right. I’m so incredibly fortunate to have wonderful friends like all of you. Believe me, I’m granteful.
As I mentioned a while back, it was you that got me to keep on blogging and I thank you for it.
I’m so happy you stayed. You add so much to all of our lives with our quotes and words.
Thank you for the nice comment…
Always. Finished the vampire book and reading ART HIDING IN NEW YORK. Still reading the Letters of Sylvia Beach and waiting to get to the good stuff.
I finished Paul Auster’s book this morning…now read and old Charles Dickens book titled The Mystery Of Edwin Drood…he died before he finished it…
Oh, good. I’ve never read Dickens. Hope you enjoy it.
So far its okay, but the damn print is so small…arg….
I hate when that happens. I have two books that I don’t think I’ll be able to read, because they were printed in Europe and it’s pitch black print, thick letters the size of the tiniest ant you’ve ever seen, and the lines are practically touching each other. Almost impossible to do it and it would take forever.
Your right, and I’m about to start a different book, and the one I’m reading now, I’ll just read bits of it at a time…
Yes. Some of them are hard to read all at once. Boring, slow and dry. I usually just stop reading them, but some of them, I know will get better, so I read fun thing in between. LOL
You must be a mind reader, as I have been thinking the same things as you are…
The last book in the Sandman Slim series came out yesterday. It’s been a fabulous series until his last book where he started using they and them for one person. It doesn’t matter if you want to be genderless but use a name. A lot of people hated the book because we all had to back read to see if we missed anything. They and them are more than ONE PERSON. It’s so stupid I can’t believe it. Use IT, use a name, don’t pretend that you’re three people. So, I have to read the last one and I’m pretty much hating it because he does use “its” name but then goes back to they and them, so the flow of the story is constantly being broken up and it’s terrible. How to ruin a wonderful series. “He turned toward them.” But he turned toward one person, not a them. I think some people’s brains are eating themselves. I couldn’t care less if people want to be a them or a then, or a unicorn but not in print where the story is destroyed because you don’t know who anyone is speaking to. Blah. Totally ruining the book…again. A lot of his fans were finished with him after the last book because os that. I should have been one of them. I keep hoping someone kills her off, but so far she, they or it, is still going. My question…why do we have to know a person’s gender in the first place? Just be an it, or pick a name like Sam or Jesse, or a unisex name and bloody get on with it because NO ONE CARES, we just want to read a book.
…and yours truly! Fab that you are aware!
Thank you Resa…

So grateful. ❤
XO
XXXOOO back. 🙂
😀 ❤
Melanie, you’re a sweetheart…
Why, thank you kind sir 😉 I think you are pretty nice yourself!
Thanks and you’re welcome…
🙂
She really is. 🙂
Amen my friend…
🙂
Thank you. It was such a wonderful surprise. It turned out so beautifully and I love it.
Thank you Gi!
Drawing Frida has been a wonderful, and learning experience.
You’re drawing turned out perfectly. I’m so thankful that you let me see it during the process. It’s wonderful and so is the drawing of Holly. I’m glad you love Frida as much as I do. Thank you again and I’m so happy you took the idea of her and ran with it.
Yeah!
Running with an inspiration has jet fuel!
Frida is amazing. Her self portraits are of note…big time.
I know I see her differently than she saw herself.
I think she was hard/stern on herself.
I agree. I think she was hard on herself as well. A woman in that era…she was one of a kind and lived her life the way she wanted to…you HAVE TO WATCH THE MOVIE. You were on fire. I’m so happy because that’s such a wonderful feeling. You did an amazing job. Thank you, from Frida and from me. ❤
I will watch the movie!
I had a great time doing the drawings. Again I stretched, and it feels wonderful!
Welcome to both of you! ❤
I’m so happy you enjoyed doing it. That makes it even better and I know both of you did it with big, open, loving hearts. That’s what makes it even more special.
We both adore you, Gi!
I’m not sure WHY you’re generous enough to be my friends, LOL, but I’m thrilled that you are. Believe me. I think you’re both fabulous.
xoxo
Same to you and then some. Kisses on the fuzzy ones. 🙂 Em is wondering what happened to her yard. All her hiding spots are gone.
Oh dear! Is she liking her new yard? 😀
It’s currently a barren wasteland and she’s not happy. No place to hide or hunt. No, she doesn’t like it. Grass seed goes down next week and I think the walkway will go down tomorrow. A shrub and a few flowers too…maybe. Still have a long way to go.
Okay… her world is about to build!
Yes, it is. I think the path to the back gate is going to be started today and there are flowers and a few shrubs ready to be planted soon. The grass seed goes down next week. She’s just been laying on the dirt. She’s constantly looking at everything and I’m sure she’s wondering where everything went.
So beautiful, Frida, the singer, and both of you.
It’s so wonderful. They are beautiful. So very beautiful.
amazing! and the blogging community is such a rich one!
It truly is a wonderful thing, the friendships are strong and beautiful. I’m so grateful. It’s such a fabulous post.
❤️🌷🌹🥰
I’m SO grateful. Wonderful poem and I love both of you and your big, generous hearts. I think this is what Sisterhood is all about. I can’t thank you enough. ❤
Absolutely Sista! Love and hugs.
Thank you. Love and hugs to you always. ❤

I tried to comment on Resa’s blog but it wouldn’t let me so…
To Resa and Holly:
What an amazing post! You lovely ladies did a fabulous job honoring Frida and I’m sure it meant the world to Gigi!!
You are an Artist, dear Resa…get that right 😀 ❤
I’ll send this to both of them. 🙂 I did it, so they both know what you wrote. Yay
