Straight Out of Cumae

Manolo says,
Of Sybil’s words as many times rebound.
Now to the mouth they come. Aloud she cries:
“This is the time; enquire your destinies.
He comes; behold the god!”

    This fellow classicist sends her love. The Willis did look nice with hair, once.




  2. e Says:

    i’m confused. is she being martha complete with cupcakes and shoes, or is she just talking about being martha, wearing cupcakes and shoes?




  3. e Says:

    cause if it’s the latter, she got the props al wrong: “Beyond him is the elderly Cumaean sybil, a seated figure of great beauty, in an attitude of extraordinary grace as she studies the pages of a book, with two beautiful putti at her side.”

  4. The Scarlett Says:

    The cupcakes are the best part of the photo.




  5. deja pseu Says:

    Ah, the Manolo has made me smile again with his witty classical references. But the Cybil, alas with the shoes!




  6. Fausta Says:

    At least this time she managed to comb her hair http://www.strangecelebrities.com/content/item/104594.html.




  7. deja pseu Says:

    Fausta, almost worse than the hair in that picture is the crimson sweater worn over the fuschia blouse. Ayyyyy!




  8. Dafina Girl Says:

    love the matching cupcakes - has she found god?




  9. Annalucia Says:

    Indeed, deja pseu, and what’s worse is that the Cybill does not have the coloring for either the fuchsia or the crimson. The green-gray outfit of the recent photo is much better, though spoiled by the well-worn gym shoes.




  10. Tia Nieve Says:

    The Tia Nieve is once again floored by the brilliance of the Manolo and the classical reference.

    Mmmm. Cupcakes!




  11. VeddyVeddyBadAng Says:

    I think I prefer God Willis without the hair.

    (Perhaps that is because Mr. Veddy is losing his hair, which lends itself well to a look of maturity and wisdom.)

    Meditating or Praying? For cupcakes -n- water? Or her outfit and tennis shoes? Or not to go back to jail??? Haha
