Thinking of a New Project

"It also gave her time for her manic ritual of the Ice Water and Vinegar Douche. My mother's most guarded and precious possession, besides her foundation, was her pink rubber douche bag. She was never without one in use, and had at least four backups in case one sprung a leak. Heinz white vinegar was bought by the case. Even when, in 1944, she discovered the diaphragm and bought a dozen of them before going off to war, they joined her trusted rubber bag as the first essentials packed for overseas duty. How my mother was able to escape multiple pregnancies during all those many years always amazed me"

-Maria Riva on her mother Marlene Dietrich
