Loss of an American Legend

Today America lost one of it's most beautiful and beloved icons. Dame Elizabeth Taylor passed away this morning at the age of 79. When I was a little girl I thought she was the most graceful woman I had ever seen--even thinking she was the Queen.
Elizabeth Taylor was a great style icon on film and in life. Some of my favourite films she starred in include Cat on a Hot Tin Roof, Cleopatra, Poker Alice (a funny made for TV movie many years ago), the Last Time I saw Paris and Giant. This elegant and regal woman will be missed. Elizabeth is now amongst her friends and loves. God bless you and rest in peace. x

Don't forget the guys

Real women have curves

Sophia Loren's the corseted Millionairess

The Millionairess with Sophia Loren and Peter Sellers is a funny little film with a bitchy and manipulative Loren fashionably dressed as ever. Lots of big hats and sexy numbers.

Ongoing style

I really like this photo of Josephine Baker in black and white but it would have been a lot sexier on a more womanly body with this shot. Dorothy Dandridge was fab as Carmen Jones in red and black. Not sure of what film but Grace Kelly as always was graceful and a true epitome of style. I have never seen this photo before of the ever elegant Diahann Carroll. She looked so beautiful. Last but not least Lena Horne who has aged gracefully and has always been an African beauty.
