Celebrity Birthdays: February 25th.


Rashida Jones was born today to Quincy Jones and Peggy Lipton, forty-one years ago.
Quincy is the man behind the Austin Powers theme song, “Soul Bosa Nova”, as well as several seminal albums such as “Thriller” by Michael Jackson. He is, like his daughter, a Piscean, born towards the Martian end of the season rather than the Neptunian end.
Peggy Lipton, his partner, was a Virgo. (Traditionally, Virgos and Pisceans merge in romantic bliss, as polar opposite ends of the Zodiac.) She was known, in addition to her voluptuous looks, for such roles as Norma Jennings in David Lynch’s classic show Twin Peaks.
The looks linger in Rashida, as well as the talent. She has her mother’s dopey* smile, her father’s skin tone, and the general complexion (eyes especially) of a female Piscean.

*Dopey is used here with an endearing tone. Pisceans are of course notoriously “dopey” as well.
Today is all so apparently, according to a Google Doodle, the birthday of Ida Lewis, a lighthouse keeper who, at considerable risk to her own safety, rescued several Americans from drowning and was named Bravest Woman in America.
You should see the paintings of her. Not very prone towards having photographs taken, (given the time) she was the object of several portraits that make her look, to my eye, like a female Neptune.
