I just finished reading a biography on Gertrude Stein and this video just happened to show up. Now, I am inclined to read the biography on Alice. This is a hoot! Two women living in their own terms while making others famous.
Attended, virtually, the first Jewish Book Festival yesterday from The Museum of Jewish Heritage, Maira Kalman was one of the guest speakers and showed this video she and her son Alex Kalman created to promote her illustrated book. PRICELESS!
What a delight! The joy this brought me! Thank you for this personification of a totally unique being in a world of idiots. Beautiful performance--Alice B. would be so amused.
This is so adorable! It is so precious that whoever made this video took Alice B toklas from the past and put her into the future as we would know her. I loved this short and it even looks like her. Kudos to you😆😘
Here, Alice is portrayed as a free individual. She was not. She died destitute. Over-romanticizing Alice is a disservice. Of course, the same thing happened to that great New Yorker, Helene Hanff. Her life, too, was romanticized in the film of '84 Charring Cross Road'. Men most almost seem to have someone to care for them. Why is it that women do not care for each other.
Because, men and women were meant to care for each other. Her partner's family took everything from her. They legally could, it belonged to their relative. Grown offspring and the deceased's family can be selfish and cruel. They were just waiting to pounce. Sad, but true. A.B.Toklas didn't stand a chance. When relations pass, the immediate family can be hard on each other too. You see where you stand, as a sibling, when a parent passes. The masks fall,so to speak. Just because the two people might get along, doesn't mean the rest of their family thinks the world of you.🤔
This film by Maira is just so dreamy to watch!

Thius is such a find and a treat.
Thank you dear Maira Kalman. You made me smile on a very bleak day. And thank you Jill Magen for sharing this.
A pure joy from beginning to end.
Maira you make my heart sing! You're so delightful, and a great dancer too! So clever and funny. Just love you!
J’adore Maira💜

anyone else here for the cannabis fudge brownies!?
Now I know what G.S. loved about her. :^)
Wikipedia Alice. An interesting life, a tragic end.

This is charmingly absurd. BUT I'm wondering why ABT has a sort-of-European accent? She was born and raised in the U.S.
She cook with hashish cakes? Really?
Love it!
