Das Glück kennt nur Minuten, der Rest ist Warteraum

An dieser Stelle einen herzlichen Dank an alle Besucher des Parol-Standes auf der Leipziger Buchmesse 2011. Es war großartig. Natürlich ist zu erwarten, dass auf einer Veranstaltung, die sich dem geschriebenen Wort in all seinen Facetten widmet, der ein oder andere die fabelhaften Schals von Parol für sich entdeckt. Aber mit so viel Liebe und Begeisterung haben wir wirklich nicht gerechnet. Es freut natürlich auch, dass der ein oder andere Schal  einen neuen Besitzer fand, welcher ihn nun hoffentlich für lange Zeit mit stolzem Haupte tragen kann.

Happiness is when you want what you get”

Katharine Hepburn was also a master of pointed and elegant phrases. Here you´ll find an anthology you´ll enjoy.

Katharine Hepburn´s love story with Spencer Tracy was surely one of Hollywood´s greatest love stories ever.  Admirable and amazing was the discretion of the twosome and the confidentiality of all friends who have known their relationship. Not until Spencer Tracy´s death 1967 this love story which has took long 26 years came before the public. Katharine Hepburn who has cared for Spencer Tracy until his death has called his woman and his family.  With respect to the family she didn´t attend his funeral.  As homage to this great love we like to present the final monologue of Spencer Tracy in their last concerted movie Guess Who´s Coming to dinner. Both knew that theses would be his last words in a movie. What a Good bye. 17 days later Spencer Tracy died

We don´t want to fail to give you the information that at 17th of July ther will be a very magic midsummernight gala at the Katharine Hepburn Cultural Arts Center in Old Saybrook, Connecticut.

“Und muß ich mein irdisches Gastspiel beenden, yes, Sir! Sollt ihr euch nicht gleichgültig von mir wenden, no, Sir ! Ich habe geliebt, und ich habe geküßt, weil die Liebe doch dazu erfunden ist, wie alle`s auch hier tun seit tausenden Jahren, nur darf man um Gottes will`n nichts erfahren.
Yes, Sir ! Yes, Sir ! So bin ich am ganzen Leibe ich , so bin ich und so bleibe ich. Yes, Sir!”

And this line PAROL has knitted into a very nice scarf made by finely combed cotton

Hallelujah, Zarah! Here you´ll find the Zarah Leander Scarf in the PAROL Shop. And here our post in the occassion of her birthday at 15th of March.

John Wayne´s quote “Speak slow, speak low and don´t say to much” would perfectly fit to Clint Eastwood, especially to his role of the man without name we´ve seen in the sixties of the last century in the Spaghetti Western A Fistful of Dollars, For a Few Dollars more, The Good, The Bad and The Ugly. Clint Eastwood only needed to squint his eyes and to move the cigarillo between his lips; I don´t remember an actor who got such a high profil with so minimal.  means. He is really laconic. Here you can see The Good, The Bad and The Ugly Finale with the music of Ennio Morricone, “Go ahead …” Clint Eastwood says to Eli Wallach.

PAROL pays homage to Clint Eastwood with a scarf the legendary catchphrase is knitted into it

Everybody knows the movies of Clint Eastwood and has some favorite ones. But Clint Eastwood was also a very good pianist, he is a Jazz-Afficionado – I like very much his Charlie Parker movie “Bird” – , he has written an composed also a lot of soundtracks. Obviously he enjoyed to sing, please listen “Beers to you” he has sung with Ray Charles.  It must been  a very, very good time and a very wet joke – and I need to be a bit tipsy because it´s not easy to honour two guys if this size in only one week. Okay?

PAROL pays homage to the Greatest Cowboy of all times with these scarves

Isn´t it, Ladies and Gentlemen?
