Classic Beauty: Greta Garbo

Aaahhhh, Garbo.  Nobody who has seen Anna Karenina  or Ninotchka  could avoid falling in love with her, as I most certainly did.

Here’s the reason for my infatuation with her.  Apart from her astonishing beauty and sexy voice, she was someone after my own heart in that when she grew tired of her own celebrity and the whole Hollywood thing, she told everyone to take a hike and lived a life of her own, in seclusion.

My kinda gal.

Classic Beauty: Capucine

Okay, I’m going to come right out and admit that I have had a love affair with the exquisite French actress and model Capucine ever since I saw first saw her in The Pink Panther.  Why?

Well, apart from her beauty, it was her glamor, elegance, grace and did I say beauty?  I mean, how much more does one need to worship a woman?

She was once called “the French Grace Kelly”, but I prefer those smoldering French features over the ice-blonde Kelly any day of the week.

Go ahead:  argue with me, I dare you.

Seeing Double

Two newsreaders on Brit TV, both onetime contestants on some dance show, both with a pouty lower lip and both rather MILF-y — and I can only tell them apart when they’re side by side:

L–R:  Kate Silverton and Natasha Kaplinsky.

Of course, confusion is my normal state these days…
