Mornings In Bed - Part VIII - Talula is waking up with a woman today....

Portia wounding her thigh

And...what a woman she was.
Four reasons why Talula fell in love with Elisabetta Sirani...
1. She was from a town called Bologna. hello.
2. She opened a studio for women artists
3. ...and even though she suffered from depression she continued to work
4. She was known for completing paintings quickly

Talula Love Bottoms is not real. She is all of us hard working, creative, hungry, dedicated artists combined into a name. The name is fun, intriguing, assuming, and fearless. The name is a movement. The movement is not new...
it is exactly what Elisabetta did...(I call her Betta in bed..hhahahaha; are you witty enough to have gotten that on first read????) Betta in bed than Picasso and Vermeer combined. Ha.

Anyhoot...Talula Love Bottoms is Elisabetta Sirani, she is Louise Nevelson, she is Rembrant, Chagall, Frank Gonzales, Ryan Loper, Jamie D, Jaime K, Sven, Kate Facenda, Sarah Tschaar, La Tang aka Adam Bruno. She is us. She works hard to create a space for you to work in and on.

And in these humorous chatters about the masters she pulls inspiration and strength.
She believes that art will mend this broken world. Help her piece it together by spreading the vibe, by creating art, by supporting local arts and by creating spaces and ideas where artists can thrive. Thank you.

Back to Elisabetta...she's starting to get hungry. "Bologna Sandwich love?" I whisper to the pages of her life slipping through my fingers...Many of her subjects were woman so I assumed she would be a wise choice to bring to bed.

"Though she painted some portraits, many of her works dealt with religious and historical scenes. She often featured women. She's known for paintings of the muse Melpomene, Delilah holding scissors, The Madonna of the Rose and several other Madonnas, Cleopatra, Mary Magdalene, Galatea, Judith, Portia, Cain, the biblical Michael, Saint Jermone, and others. Many featured women."

...and then it is suggested that her maid poisoned her and she died at age 27.

All these dead artists in my bed.. one would think I was Marina Abramovic!!!
You know Lady Gaga wants to be Talula!!!! Soon enough kids...soon enough!!

With love and travel,
two more days.
