Quoteth Tennessee Williams





"Tallulah was fun for a time--grand and beautiful and unreal, like a gazelle in the laundromat: 
Out of place, graceful, astonishing. Then the gazelle shat on the floor and you weren't sure which agency to call to remove it."

      Just outside of Chestertown, in a church cemetery, as far from the church as possible. Seems her brother had connections. The lake nearby may be a cesspool. Cheers.

    And you never ever ever hear a dull Tallulah story.

    I think that there are plenty of people ('round here at least), that would gladly scoop up that gazelle shit...

    You know, that shot looks rather like Tennessee in a wig.

    I was disappointed to click on the "gazelles" tag and find nothing else in the archives.

    Can we expect more?

    I often travel through the older Bankhead tunnel when in Mobile Ala. Named for her father, I like to think that I'm traveling through Tallulah's old tunnel instead.

      automatic car wash at the exit.
