^ Lovely!. I remember years ago (like.. maybe 15 years ago?!!) when I thought I had seen all of Jane's photos that ever made it to the internet lol, and I was probably not wrong, but glad to see more material has been brought in ever since, especially after her passing.. there are so many photos and looks I had never seen (like the one above, and all the times she brought her Portuguese basket to evening events 
). She was pretty on the outside but always showed such a pragmatic and sensible take on life and all its concepts (justice, beauty, love, art, even death) that it came across as modest and relatable and it made her even more beautiful and fascinating.
Still sad she's gone, I hope she had time to finish the rest of her memoirs.
*eta: justaguy, would you be able to merge this thread with the older (giant) one, please??

Yay this thread’s been reopened! now if someone could fix the title and merge it with the other one.. 🧎♀️
Glad to see new pictures of her and in superb quality.. I miss her, I still can’t believe she’s gone 💔.. she embodied multiple industries, eras, interests and sides of the human experience all in one, there really isn’t anyone with some level of fame that comprehends that.. most are too busy being their brand.
