I posted this photo of Marchesa Luisa Casati on this blog in 2018, under the NO SCARY MAKEUP REQUIRED label.
I just saw this quote from Jack Kerouac:
"Marchesa Casati
is a living doll
Pinned on my Frisco
Skid Row wall."
When I was in my mid-20s I lived in a crummy apartment (NOT on Skid Row), and I had this picture taped (not pinned) to my wall. I'd found it in a magazine and put it up because I thought she was scary, not a "living doll."
I've seen other images of her since then in which she's slightly less scary. I guess scary is in the eye of the beholder.
