I PROMISE not to turn this into one of those blogs/tumblrs where all they do is post pictures.
I just adore this still and where shes resting and the innocent question that shes asking 'fred'
If youve ever seen the movie 'Breakfast at Tiffanys' you'll know that this isnt some sleazy post/pre-sex scene. Hollie had crept into Freds apartment, they had just met that day and she was trying to escape some desperado she had stupidally brought home with her.She jumped down the fire escape and into Freds safe abode. He didnt really mind,but he was slighty embaressed as he was not dressed and his 'sugamamma' had just left after getting her mid-week fix. Hollie pours him a drink and pours herself a double and they both light up a cigg and talk casually for a while,quizzing each other about there 'work' and life. Hollie reveals little pieces of her life and her brother back home on the farm,turns out he joined the army and needs to come home,so holly ran away from her homeplace to New York to try and make money(by the only way she knew how....trying to marry a rich man) She wanted to be able to start a life for herself and her brother when he comes home,but shes failing.
Fred, reveals nothing, hollie is curious about him and well she should be, Fred is casually sleeping with a married woman who has more money in the bank then all hes worth. As a struggling writer he entertains his sugamamma and lets her buy him an apartment in Hollie's complex and decorate it out to her taste with her husbands money. Everytime sugamamma leaves she leaves fred a few 50's. Quite shocking isnt it in the broad spectrum of things.
Hollie knows none of this but is rightly suspicious,but she still sees kindness in Fred and continues to talk and relax with Fred, she curls up beside him in bed,looks up at him with her big brown eyes and asks rather innocently 'we are friends arent we?' The sweetness and childlike manner in which she asks this shows how fragile and troubles this girl is, the girl who dresses in pearls and black pencil-skirted dresses made for ladies,and smiles with a glint in her eye. But shes just a broken little scared girl inside.Goes to show you how vunerable people can be and how they can reveal that to you in the most unbeknowing of ways.
I love this scene
