Here’s a modern-day totty who could have fit into the Classic Beauty section, were she not young. Allow me to introduce you to Yvonne Catterfeld:
“Now Kim,” you ask, “she’s very pretty; but how can you say she’d qualify as Classic Beauty?”
‘Nuff said.
As to how I stumbled upon her, there’s a clue hidden in tomorrow’s Classic Beauty post… and an explanation as to why she would qualify.
I remember once going through one of Connie’s photo albums, and finding a pic of an impossibly-glamorous older woman. “Who is that?” I asked.
“Oh, that’s my old acting teacher, Nina Foch.”
Here she is, not as an older woman:
Wow.
So there I was, all ready to defy that stupid restraining order (I mean, it’s been over ten years, come on) to go and see Nigella Lawson live in Dallas, when this happened:
Nigella Lawson shared an apology video to social media on Thursday after she was forced to cancel her scheduled live show, An Evening With Nigella Lawson, in Dallas.
The television chef and writer, 62, suffered airport woes as her flight to the U.S state was cancelled last minute, leaving her at the airport for five hours.
Personally, I blame the bloody airline involved (probably American, to judge from their “Fuck you so what?” response).
And to think that I was THISclose to being THISclose to Nigella…
I need Breakfast Gin II.
I am forced to watch the foul Great British Bake Off TV show because New Wife loves it, otherwise I would never have heard of block-faced Paul Hollywood (which is, by the way, an excellent porn star name).
Anyway, said celebrity has apparently got engaged (again) to some barmaid totty:
…who is okay, although I have to confess that I preferred his earlier barmaid squeeze:
…because she’s a redhead, natch.
Yeah, you figured it out: I’m not at all interested in Paul Hollywood’s love life, and this was just an excuse to post chick pics.
Anyway, you may now carry on with your day.
Seen at CW’s place, this young lady epitomizes to me an old-fashioned vision of modest loveliness:
The pic is recent, the old-fashioned values are timeless. Small wonder some lucky guy has married her.
Back to the silent movies we go, with actress (and later producer) Norma Talmadge:
You know, my problem with all the stars of this era is that the pics were so stylized that very little of the actresses’ character shone through (which is why so many of them look so alike). Here, for example, is a much later pic of Norma, taken when she was (I think) in her late fifties, and the difference is astonishing:
Gorgeous.
