As deeply disappointing as it is that someone at TIME Magazine obviously forgot to add Messy Nessy Chic to the list of best blogs of 2012 (sniffle, there’s always next year, eye of the tiger), I’m a good enough sport to recognize a few that made the cut. In particular, my favorite new discovery thanks to the annual tribute to the best in blogging is a Tumblr called Awesome People Hanging out Together. The Tumblr blog is quite simply a collection of hundreds of photographs, old and recent, of famous and interesting people hanging out together. There is little explanation as to how these amazing people got together to hang out and instead leaves you to wonder about how they met, what was said and did they hang out again?
Here are my favorites…
Bill Clinton meets John F Kennedy Junior, 1963
Johnny Depp and Paul McCartney
Salvador Dali and a young Yves Saint Laurent
Ernest Hemingway and Fidel Castro
Serge Gainsbourg and Ray Charles
Julie Christie, Ursula Andress and Catherine Deneuve
John Travolta and Princess Diana
Elvis Presley and Mohammed Ali
Marlon Brando and Martin Luther King
Ali MacGraw and French heart-throb Alain Delon
Sophia Loren and Elvis Presley
Helen Mirren and the Queen
Audrey Hepburn and fashion designer, Givenchy
Pharrell Williams, Oprah and P Diddy
Ralph Lauren, Carine Roitfeld, Karl Largefeld, Mrs. Lauren
Lauryn Hill and Erykah Badu
Barack Obama and George Clooney
James Dean and Elizabeth Taylor
Bob Marley and the Jackson Five
Prince Charles and Prince
Awesome People Hanging out Together, indeed!
