“I rather not talk about it…  It’s very hard for me to talk about it… I think a state like that, a state where you’re suicidal, is temporary, because the first… The first law of nature is self preservation. And to get up on the 14th floor of an apartment building… standing there for 15 to 20 minutes, contemplating, the sidewalk, and having no fear about it. I had no fear about it, I just changed my mind. I did it because I had been to the hospital so much, and had been given so many shock treatments and I felt like I was getting sick again and I had to go back. And I was so discouraged that I, didn’t want to live. But fortunately, I did go on having a happy marriage for 20 years. And fortunately for my child, I was able to recover, and be a good mother because she needed me. But I was so desperate that day, I thought, you know, maybe, I’m more of a problem to her..”

113 years ago today in Paris, Jeanne Margaine-Lacroix made some noise. She sent three models to the horse races in her designs; sans corset, comfortably form fitting, naturally figure flattering, and open up to the knee.. In todays terms the dresses went viral. Basically, the original bodycon dress. Having inherited her mothers fashion house almost a decade earlier, she set off a lot of fundamental changes about what we wear, how we wear it, and the way we see attire altogether (especially women’s attire.) She also ditched standard corsets of the time and debatably reformed the whole concept of underwear. Thanks Jeanne, we appreciate it! 

"are u okay" can we change the topic before i cry

Her strength, perhaps, was not joke telling. Nor was she jocular in a conventional sense— no practical joker, Garbo. But more than one drollery escaped her lips. One day, S. N. Behrman was waiting for her to show up for a meeting at MGM. “I went to the men’s room,” he said, “and there was Greta. I asked her what she was doing there. She said, ‘I’m watching the view.’
