Neki se ljudi rode da vole ljude.
Baka je imala samo 16 godina kada je upoznala lepog plavog i visokog kraljevog oficira u niskoj `Sokolani`, kako je ona pricala. Bio je neki docek, novogodisnji bal…Ona je dosla sa majkom. Oduvek je volela crne, `sa brcicima`, ali ovaj, poseban, joj ostavio utisak kada je birao za ples. I prvi i drugi, i treci…Nije je pustao, a oni, zaneseni, prvi put su oslusnuli sebe i shvatili da su sudjeni jedno drugom.
Vencali su se daleke 1938. Ziveli su raskalasno i smejali su se dugo, dugo, uz pice, dobru nisku hranu, puno muzike i veliko drustvo. Deka je baku redovno vodio na Djacko ostrvo, nisko kupaliste. Isli su na `dancing` , obucena je bila od sesira do rukavica, u haljinama u tonu, po najnovijoj modi niskih uobrazenih `modistkinja`. Nokti namazani, ruke negovane. Matinei u Niskoj banji vikendom. Tramvajem lagano… Cuvao je kao nesto najdragocenije. Zeleli su da malo bar prozive pre nego postanu roditelji. A cetrdesete su dolazile…
Baka je prozivela sa nama 87 godina. Bila je i gospodjica i gospodja i drugarica, pa ponovo gospodja. Gledala je kako nam se zemlja ujedinjuje, raspada, pa ponovo ujedinjuje…pa ponovo raspada. Nikada nije oguglala na ratove. Sve sto je imala nestalo je posle prvih bombi koje su pale na nas grad. Dobila je bebu `43 koju je krstio ujak Kornelija Kovaca. On je tada bio u logoru, u zarobljenistvu.
Baka je bila knjiga, ja je nikada do kraja nisam procitala. Otisla je, a ja nisam zelela da pisem sta ona sve zna, sta mi je pricala. Plasila sam se da je izgubim…a sada je otisla. Ostale su slike i njene i njenih i njegovih predaka slikane u nekoj niškoj, tada najpoznatijoj, fotografskoj radnji.
Baka je do kraja ponosno pricala niski, jela ljutu hranu i volela starogradske pesme. Poslednji put je zapevala na slavi Sv Arhandjela prosle godine.

Pored svega sto zelim o njoj da napisem i kazem postoji riznica onoga sto je u meni, sto ne dam nikom. Mozda jednog dana to bude zelelo da izadje i da se cuje, a mozda je i to moje licno bogastvo. Ono sto mi je ostavila.

There's nothing sexy about bread lines. And yet, thanks to a bevy of glam 1930's starlets, the Great Depression decade was more than just soup kitchens, the Dust Bowl, and the collapse of Lehman Brothers (oh wait, that came later). Yes, hemlines dropped like the Dow, but calf-covering skirts couldn't conceal the appeal of babes like Carole Lombard, Claudette Colbert, Myrna Loy, and Jean Harlow—just ask Clark Gable; he married Lombard and starred with the rest.

The era's sinuous siren gowns were as much a result of practical constraints as they were of a nationwide mood change. Fabric was in short supply, meaning not only that tighter silhouettes came in, but also that designers cut corners in the lining department. What's more—and maybe this is where Lindsay and Britney got the idea—women sometimes skipped underwear. Take Josephine Baker, who often played up her feminine form in nothing at all. Ernest Hemingway dubbed her "the most sensational woman anyone ever saw," and he saw a lot of her. Nudity aside, present-day designers can take comfort in knowing that fashion as escapism meant a booming business for their Depression-era counterparts. As for present-day women who might be looking for doldrums departure routes, they can take a page out of their predecessors' book and play up their natural assets. As Claudette Colbert put it in The Palm Beach Story, "You have no idea what a long-legged gal can do without doing anything."

Carly Zucker is the latest WAG to get raunchy in a new campaign for men’s deodorant range Lynx.
Dressed in a ragged cave girl bikini, the I’m A Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here! contestant is pictured in the same pose as Raquel Welch in the 1966 film One Million Years B.C.
The movie, which was marketed with the tagline ‘Travel back through time and space to the edge of man’s beginnings… discover a savage world whose only law was lust!’ proved a hit thanks to Raquel’s iconic appearance in an animal-skin bikini.
