An Interesting Thought

I saw a recent post on Fashion Debris about Courtney Love. Whether you like her or not, she's definitely got some stories to tell & unfortunately, a lot of her health has been wasted on drugs & alcohol.

Lux likes Courtney & Miss Woo of Cheapskate Chic doesn't quite share the same sentiment. Me? I'm indifferent. I find her daughter more intriguing.

Enter Francis Bean

She has an intriguing beauty about her. Dark hair, alabaster skin, that tiny mouth. She holds the innocence her parents have lost. The fact that two substance abusive people, to the point where their own beauty is destroyed, can produce such a clean picture of a person, the very opposite of themselves. It's wonderful.

The Mother
On one of her good days

The Father
Before his own torment stole him

Can you see it?

His nose, her eye colour, his eyes, her chin, his hair, her face shape, his cheekbones. It's all there.

Him alive through her, her living a better life than her mother.

Sometimes, good things do happen.

Francis is stunning. She seems to have a melancholy beauty about her...

I find her really interesting too! I think she is beautiful. Hopefully she won't end up like Courtney!!

I see 100% Courtney in her -- I used to see her dad but now to me it's all her mom.

She is gorgeous...hope she remains 'untainted'...from what I've seen she seems to have her head screwed on tight, and is 'wiser than her years'.

Alice said...

wow she is stunning. almost like a girl from the 1920s.

I've always had a love/hate relationship with Courtney but Francis seems to be handling everything really well - it's good to see that despite having a really unusual family situation, she's managed to come out seemingly well-adjusted!

Francis Bean, she is exquisite. There is something so serene about her. I really hope she stays that way, she pretty much is rock n roll royalty.

I feel like she was transported from the time of the silent movie stars. Especially with her makeup in that picture.
