There is so much about that photo that I absolutely love I am finding it hard to look away.  I can smell the cigarette smoke.  I can feel the rustle of the satin dresses.  I can hear the noise, the hoopla, the brou-haha.  Each person here is riveting.  I love the glimpse of John Huston&#8217;s devilish amused eyebrows.  Dietrich looks calm, cool, and maybe vaguely mortified.  And Tallulah is just livin&#8217; it up, totally unselfconscious.  Perhaps not QUITE as unselfconscious as she is, uhm, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sheilaomalley.com\/?p=9299\">here<\/a>, but certainly totally being herself, regaling people with some inappropriate drunken story of doom, gin and tonics and sudden alarming nudity.  How much do I want to hang out with those three?  I love how much John Huston is getting a kick out of the whole thing.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>(Title of this post stolen from a comment to this awesome photo &#8211; and the quote is, of course, already borrowed from another source &#8211; perfect!)
