Not sure if this was posted else where, but i hadn't seen this series of videos until today:
L.I.L.Y.
Parts of this board are non functional. Posting a youtube video where you're supposed to doesn't really work. It only stays there for an hour or less. I sure wish someone would fix it. This has been on my wishlist of fixes for this board.
Anyway, I bet you were trying to post this.... https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLtd6KRb90Px2_o2kji_VuoBEI931lT9LA
Bingo Oobu! Thank you!
Found out from one of these that Linda was he first woman to shoot a Rolling Stone cover!
I am amazed
She is the only woman/person to shoot a RS cover AND appear on a cover as well!

Oobu, thanks so much for posting the links to Linda's retrospective. I so hope to get to that show and I hope they have as nice of a shop as the one in Glasgow!
I've been to the Walker Gallery before, however, I only had about 4-5 hours between trains. It is such an awesome gallery. Also really love all the pre Raphaelites in their collection and in that area of the UK. There are quite a few William Waterhouses within about an hour drive from Liverpool. William Holman Hunt and also Eleanor Fortescue-Brickdale are two excellent painters in the Walker. It has quite a number of extremely large paintings and when I was there, it was evocative of an older type museum with paintings hung from floor to ceiling. If you can make it to Linda's exhibit, by all means, it was excellent. Will have to spend two days there!!! Looking forward to it.

I hope that maybe one day they will bring that exhibit here.

I really hope and expect they will. Was supposed to see this show and the Polaroids show in Berlin in June
I wanted to see this one for her Liverpool photos, just as the one in the US will have her American photos. Looking forward to seeing my museum buddy and my friends near Preston too!!!

Yes, I remember you saying that you were going.

Love this photo of Paul and Linda.
I'm guessing it's circa 1979, because Paul has the "Back to the Egg" hairstyle he wore in the music video for "Arrow Through Me," and the jacket looks like one he wore in the BTTE special that was broadcast.

That video was missing for a while, you could only see the Spanish one. Glad it’s back, that’s such a beautiful song. There really is such thing as a winter rose.

Yes, he does look especially gorgeous in that one, doesn't he! *SWOON AND THUD*
Love this one that Linda took, it's my very favorite
(until I see another gorgeous photo of him and then that will be my favorite
)

Back on topic! (but we can still appreciate Paul!)
-
Love this painting and wonder if Paul still has it?
-
Not sure where this was taken, but love her argyle socks!
-
^ OMG, I had a ton of argyle socks in the late '60s and '70s!

Me too! They seemed really "academic" to wear when I was in college.
Love their style and color combinations.
She and Paul seemed to like knitted sweaters and comfy socks. They went for comfort rather than trying to follow fashion fads.
Edited to add: Just noticed it looks like Linda is sitting on a saddle in the photo above. Wonder if Paul had given that as a gift for one of her horses? And perhaps it was taken on her birthday?
Below is a lovely photo of Linda we may not have seen before. I'm guessing 1992?
