sister act

William-Adolphe Bouguereau - Two Sisters

Sweet is the voice of a sister in the season of sorrow.
Benjamin Disraeli


I have a younger sister, and Zoe has an older one. We're very lucky and we're close to them and get on so well most of the time. My sister just wrote about sisters over here, and it inspired me to do the same. I think my favourite famous sisters are the Mulleavy's - the designers behind Rodarte. I also love the Olsen twins, the Traina sisters (below) and the Bronte sisters. And what about the Lisbon sisters in the Virgin Suicides? And the Mitford sisters too.






And now that I got you alone
Let me get this off my chest
Pick a melody
Then count from one to ten
I make a rhyme up
Then we will try again
To laugh or cry or give a sigh
To past that might have been
And how much I really love my baby sister
And how much I really love my baby sister

Lou Reed - Little Sister
