My Declaration

I’m Rose Lawless. I’m kind of a rich girl gone wrong. My pedigree is dark but dramatic. I’m the fallout of an illicit passion between a romanian street entertainer and an Irish diplomat’s wife. My life, like my art, is like the international scandal they could never manage to hush up. I sit on a barbed wire fence between heaven and hell and sing my blood red songs of longing and rage. Welcome to the Cabaret. This is my world. This is my roar!’

THE STORY OF ROSE LAWLESS

Ladies and Gentlemen!  I have decided to rewrite my story, so this space will be vacant impending occupancy,  until after my trip next week to visit the painting by Eugene Declacroix in Paris of ‘Liberty Leading the People’.  This is the painting at which my parents met and it is a declaration of art which has influenced by whole life.  It is my guiding moral star if you like - and I shall return and rewrite my history, according to its light.

Below, is a photo I, amateur photographer, took in Rome.  I called  it the history of entertainment, in a morbid, but not invalid, moment.
