For Life magazine, October 20, 1970
Here's the first page of the Life magazine story about Sally Kellerman. "Everybody calls me Hot Lips. Nobody even knows my name," she's quoted in the story. And then they give it the headline "New-found fame for 'Hot Lips'".
My mistake: this was in February 5, 1971 issue #RIP

Celebrate the Richard Avedon Centennial 🎂💯
📷 Irving Penn, Vogue, August 23, 1993
"He was small, dark & electric with his own sort of vitality. Crackling. Sparks seem to fly out of him. He flashes his fingers like tiny rapid moths."
- Ginette Spanier

Celebrate the Red Garland Centennial 🎂💯
📷 Bill Spilka, c. 1957
"Garland's style was understated and harmonically sophisticated; he would delineate a melody, then shade it with distinctively voiced block chords and hints of counterpoint."
- Jon Pareles #RedGarland100
Esmond Edwards' great album cover for Red Garland's "Red in Bluesville", from 1959. Edwards took the photo, & designed the album as well.
