The 200th Stuff Post with love

Susie Cave

Dear All,

Just to let you know that it is now my two hundredth Stuff Post! The Stuff Posts are a moment for me to step outside of the mayhem of dress designing. (I had no idea!) For a few minutes each week I can think about the debt we pay to our histories and to our memories. They are precious moments where we commune with the spirits of those that have shown us the way. They are small things, the Stuff Posts, simple, little entries of gratitude. Thank you for reading them, contributing towards them and sending your thoughts and letters. Much love to you all, you are the most beautiful people in the world. Susie x

PIERRE LAROCHE – A TRUE VISIONARY

I met the makeup artist, Pierre LaRoche, on a photo shoot many years ago. He had just returned from living in New York and had settled opposite me in Edith Grove just off the Kings Road. I was in my early twenties. We became very close friends in the short time that he was alive — a truly beautiful soul. He told me the most wonderful stories about T Rex, and about creating David Bowie’s makeup for Aladdin Sane and Ziggy Stardust. He was the most humble of men. He was in my opinion the greatest, most inventive makeup artist the world had ever seen, but back then these extraordinarily talented people did not receive the same recognition and status as they would today. So let’s remember Pierre LaRoche who was a true visionary genius and the most beautiful friend!

DOES THE SNOW LOVE THE TREES?

I’m sitting at the window and watching the sun spill across the courtyard and things seem suddenly full of potential and hope and good cheer. Goodbye Winter, Sweet Spring is here as I remember the beautiful words of Lewis Carroll.

GOD WALKS THESE DARK HILLS

Here is a beautiful, stripped back version of the old Gospel standard God Walks the Dark Hills sung by singer-songwriter Iris DeMent. Both comforting and strangely haunting in its imagery, this song was suggested by Edward from Wilmington, North Carolina, USA. Thank you, Edward and thank you, Iris, for this gorgeous rendition.
