Hello, roosters! If Avedon's your man, then this fine Monday morning The New Yorker has a treat for you:

"This week's issue features a portfolio of entertainers from 'Richard Avedon Performance,' a new collection of rarely seen work by Richard Avedon due out in October. Avedon had an enduring relationship with performers: he was portrayed by one--Fred Astaire--in the 1957 movie 'Funny Face,' and throughout his career they remained among his favorite subjects."
