This is Rose Valland, one of the heroes of Nazi-Occupied France. An employee of the Louvre, she kept records of the art stolen by Nazi officers- what was taken, from where, and by who. She was instrumental in the postwar return of countless stolen pieces, and one of the most decorated women in French history.

Best sunsets in the world. #nofilter
Oh, homesick. (Even though New Mexico doesn’t have palm trees.)
It is not just the late (and pathetic) spring here that is making me miss my AZ/NM life. I miss that sky. #alsohomesick
This is everything I have ever wanted in a photo set ever.

A middle-aged brown girl in red lipstick. I’m wearing MAC Pro Longwear Lip Creme in Prolong over Pro Longwear Lip Pencil in Kiss Me Quick.People are often stunned when I tell them that I never wore lipstick in high school because my mom convinced me dark girls shouldn’t wear it. I’m assuming that was generational (mom came of age in the late 40s-early 50s). While I got over it and started wearing lipstick finally, it wasn’t until my 44th year that I started routinely rocking a red lip.
Gorgeous.
