Maven Muse: Jimmy Dean

Hi, Thursday. Late start to you today, but I'm in it. Full on in it, if you must know.

And sometimes I just need something pretty to look at (or someone). So look at Jimmy Dean, my all time favorite movie star, and all around rebel without a cause. I adore him and was obsessed with him as a young teen. I'm looking for some inspiration today and started gazing back into my past for something to keep me going. I love you, Jimmy. You will forever be one of my muses.The below shot of him has always been one of my favorites- I very much related to JD's isolation and loneliness  and  the look of the world on his shoulders when I was having my own brand of teenaged existential wreckage. I'm totally impressed by the sunniness which has replaced that intense solitude of my younger years- impressed but also somewhat perplexed by it. I'm still a cynic I suppose- though I will always love Mr. Dean, regardless of my disposition. Besides, who's hotter really?

Cause that's what's up this sexy and studious Thursday in the MIA. XO
