Phillip Marlowe is
beloved_tree's fault. (Well, she and the background texture I found that screamed "cynoptimism"--although for originality's sake, I mangled that beyond all recognition.) I sincerely hope my use of two L's in the first name is correct. I'm somewhat annoyed that the edges didn't turn out more crisp, but there it is.
I could blame
Love Story on Aspen too, but it also comes from the fact that Bogart/Bacall is the one real-life celebrity couple I genuinely like. It wasn't nearly as simple as it might look, but I'm very happy with the end result.
