truman capote goes ice skating

Don’t these photos of Mr. Capote make you want to throw on your finest fair isle and hit the ice? If only I could skate! I can hardly make it around the rink without falling several times (my friends can attest-- I am horrid). I’m a bit shocked to see that Truman was a rather skilled ice skater-- who would have thought? These photos were taken for one of Life Magazine’s “Leisure” issues... I’m keeping my eyes peeled for a hard copy!

I LOVE these! We went ice skating this weekend and I was proud we made it through the evening without breaking any bones! We are pretty terrible too, but SO much fun!

I'm so impressed, and absolutely enchanted! Who would have guessed he was such a fabulous skater?

John's never been, and I'm itching to bring him to the rink in Union Square and see how he fares!
