Talula in Rome " May your hands always be busy".

We have defined Talula in part....

and now she Travels. Let's talk about Talula in Rome!!!

Talula Roma is DARING!!!! We have not seen this Talula before.
She takes risks because she can.
She picked up her ""I can't travel" can't a long time ago...

She has quiet grace. A laughter that is never fake or forced.
A face that makes the Roseto Comunale perk up in competition!!!
though there is no ego.
No corner un-captured by her intrigue.



...and she will tell you to "Fuck Off" all day long and mean it; and
then turn around and make you dinner if she still decides to like you.

Though...she needs to like you a lot for you to steal her heart away from
good music, good food, arts and literature.

She will break your heart into a million pieces.
You will love her forever.
You will travel to the ends of the earth in search for that smile...
and
she
won't
stop
so
you
can
catch
up.

Oh Roma...you have no idea the gentle storm that approaches!!!
This Talula will dance in the ruins and leave you for Paris on a whim.
She will love you strong and deny it the entire time! And if you don't love her
back...she actually, honestly - doesn't care.

Forever Young

May God bless and keep you always,
May your wishes all come true,
May you always do for others
And let others do for you.
May you build a ladder to the stars
And climb on every rung,
May you stay forever young,
Forever young, forever young,
May you stay forever young.

May you grow up to be righteous,
May you grow up to be true,
May you always know the truth
And see the lights surrounding you.
May you always be courageous,
Stand upright and be strong,
May you stay forever young,
Forever young, forever young,
May you stay forever young.
,
May your feet always be swift,
May you have a strong foundation
When the winds of changes shift.
May your heart always be joyful,
May your song always be sung,
May you stay forever young,
Forever young, forever young,
May you stay forever young.

ToJMfromMPMHTheartB...
Travel Wise. Travel Safe. Be you - and live.
You already know you will be greatly missed;
but we would all love you less if you didn't go -
because then...you wouldn't be you now would you.

Dodging lions and wastin' time

Wow! There's a definite High then a Low...
after a show.
Needed to find my most favorite lyrics EVER...
and re-focus on Talula.

Because this is just the beginning!!!!


Bob Dylan
When I Paint My Masterpiece

Favorite lyric:
Oh, the hours I've spent inside the Coliseum,
Dodging lions and wastin' time.


Oh, the streets of Rome are filled with rubble,
Ancient footprints are everywhere.
You can almost think that you're seein' double
On a cold, dark night on the Spanish Stairs.
Got to hurry on back to my hotel room,
Where I've got me a date with Botticelli's niece.
She promised that she'd be right there with me
When I paint my masterpiece.

Oh, the hours I've spent inside the Coliseum,
Dodging lions and wastin' time.
Oh, those mighty kings of the jungle, I could hardly stand to see 'em,
Yes, it sure has been a long, hard climb.
Train wheels runnin' through the back of my memory,
When I ran on the hilltop following a pack of wild geese.
Someday, everything is gonna be smooth like a rhapsody
When I paint my masterpiece.

Sailin' 'round the world in a dirty gondola.
Oh, to be back in the land of Coca-Cola!

I left Rome and landed in Brussels,
On a plane ride so bumpy that I almost cried.
Clergymen in uniform and young girls pullin' muscles,
Everyone was there to greet me when I stepped inside.
Newspapermen eating candy
Had to be held down by big police.
Someday, everything is gonna be diff'rent
When I paint my masterpiece.

Thank everyone who came and supported me on opening night! It truly means
the world to me. My art is everything to me...and often...
it is my only thing. To know that you are on my side -
whichever side I fall; makes me so very proud of you...
for being exactly who you are. (and often...you are my inspiration, my drive,
my reason, my past, my future...so if my art is my everything - it is
because of you!)
I love you all very, very, very much!
Thank you!

As so the transition begins....Introducing...

and so it was...
here I am.
Talula.
Talula.


Congratulate you
said you had a double tongue
balancing cake and bread
say goodbye to a glitter girl
Talula
Talula
you don't want to lose her
she must be worth losing
if it is worth something
Talula
Talula
she's brand new now to you
wrapped in your papoose
your little Fig Newton
say goodbye to the old world
ran into the Henchman who severed
Anne Boleyn
he did it right quickly a merciful man
she said 1+1 is 2
but Henry said that it was 3
so it was
here I am
Talula
Talula
I don't want to lose it
it must be worth losing
if it is worth something
Talula
Talula
she's brand new now to you
wrapped in your papoose
your little Fig Newton
and Jamaica
do you know what I have done
Mary M weaving on said
what you want is in the blood Senators
I got Big Bird on the fishing line
with a bit of a shout a bit of a shout
a bit of an angry snout
he's my favourite hooker of the whole bunch
and I know about his only Bride
and how the Russians die on the ice
I got my rape hat on
honey but I always could accessorise
and I never cared too much for the money
but I know right now
that it's in God's hands
but I don't know who the Father is
Talula
Talula
I don't want to lose him
he must be worth losing
if it is worth something
Talula
Talula
He's brand new now to you
wrapped in your papoose
your little Fig Newton

and in this transition is it important to know what is INTENDED.

Talula Love Bottoms intent is to allow everyone to "PICK UP THEIR CANT'S"...it really gets on her nerves when people say they can't do something.
Talula is going to give you the tools and the want to do it.

She is not a real person...
but who she is is who you want to be.
You get to be your own Talula...whenever you want!

Enjoy this ride...I have a feeling it's gonna be fast and long!!!
Hop aboard the Talula Train and let's see where it takes us!!!!

Much thanks to the constant support and inspiration.

Maryanne P. Maryanne H. Talula Love Bottoms.

I've been meaning to write a biography.
I sit down to do it and again....all this
nonsensical stuff hits the page and...

I walk away. From me. From it all.
Because I have no idea who I am.

Talula.

I guess it starts there.

What does one do when they realize that they
cannot possibly achieve their desired goals if they remain - themselves;
fearing failure.

What if...simply creating a character that has all of the things you
need; all of the tools - in fact...creates a freedom;
So that you can actually do it.

Pick Up Your Cant's.

My name is Maryanne Pappano. I sign my artwork Maryanne Hugues
because that is my maiden name. If that alone is not an identity
crisis I don't know what is.
I believe that inside all of us there is an artist waiting to
burst out in color, flavor, excitement and want.

Talula Love Bottoms was created because of that above statement.

But who does that make me. AKA.
I honestly have no idea what name to sign it under half the time. There will
be a time when it is hard to collect this periods work because of the inconsistency
of signage. Ha.

Obviously Maryanne is having issues across the board.

A biography. I have no real memory of where my love or need for art
started. I just got to a point in my life where I eventually had
to ask myself a serious question - and that question was.

Are you an artist?
I answered yes.

I wanted to be a mom. I wanted to be Fanny Brennan who
raised her kids and then became the artist she wanted to be
for herself. That's really who I wanted to be.

It's not who I am.

I am; however - the artist that is trying to find a place for all of
us who find a struggle in saying that we can, we are, and we will when
it comes to the arts.

And that term will be; "Put your Talula on".

We all have an inner Talula - and she will never be judged. She is
great no matter what. And she can.

Right now. That's who I am. I am my own Talula.
