Beauty Lessons from Grandma

 

“Grandma.” With a sigh, Laurel bent to kiss her. “Will you never grow old?”

“Not if I have anything to say about it.” Her voice was raspy with age and stunningly

sensual. “You’re the same,” she continued, taking Laurel’s hand in her strong, dry one.

Despite the lines time had etched, her face was beautiful in the moonlight. The hand

under his was dry with age. And strong. “Miss Olivia, where can I find another like you?”

“You’ve got one under your nose, you slow-witted Yankee.” She settled back in her

chair with a little sound of pleasure.

‘I am still alive, I am still curious. I am not a piece of rotting flesh’ ~Agnès Varda





Turning, she studied the woman who sat in a royal-blue tufted chair.
The hair was pure white, but as full and thick as Laurel’s. It surrounded a face layered
and lined with wrinkles and unashamedly rouged. Olivia Armand wasn’t ashamed of
anything. Eyes as sharp and green as the emeralds in her ears studied Laurel in turn.
“Grandma.” With a sigh, Laurel bent to kiss her. “Will you never grow old?”
“Not if I have anything to say about it.” Her voice was raspy with age and stunningly
sensual.

Agnès Varda is a dizzying blur of dots – polka-dot trousers, polka-dot shirt, polka-dot socks, polka-dot scarf. “I’ve always loved polka dots. Ah, oui. It is a joyful shape, the polka dot. It is alive.” You could say the same of Varda. She is more joyously alive than anybody I have ever met.
