Photo of the Day!

I'm back! It's 12:13am right now. I just got back from the airport fifteen minutes ago. I've been up and traveling for 50 hours now...with a few short naps on the flights, so I should probably go to bed...hahaha!

Anyways, this is how I feel right now:



Audrey Hepburn.

Photo of the Day!

Hey, guys, so Raquelle had a great idea: to do themes in my Photo of the Day series. This first week my theme is going to be Umbrellas! Every day I will feature a different star and an umbrella...enjoy!


To break the ice: Audrey Hepburn golfing barefoot, while holding an umbrella.

An adorable Audrey Hepburn to brighten one's day!

HELP!

Help, my dear blogger acquaintances!

I was bored and decided to randomly update my "question". So, I did, but suddenly I look and the list of all the blogs I follow is gone (it is still saved in my dashoboard), but how come it won't show up on my profile and how can I remedy this?

Please, please, please tell me! I have tried everything!

I am tearfully pleading with you...

Photos of the Day!

My dearest blogging acquaintances: I shall be taking leave of you for a few days and will be back on Tuesday.

I thought I would post a few photos to cover me until then.



James Dean at his apartment. This is actually from my 2009 calendar, which my dear friend got me for Christmas. The strangest thing about this exchange was that I bought her "East Of Eden".



Montgomery Clift at a viewing for "The Heiress". This one was saved to my computer recently, but I don't remember where I first saw it. If it was on one of your blogs, do forgive me...and you have my permission to run me out of the blogosphere! ;-)


This photo of Sandra Dee and Dodd Darin is for dear Harly (a.k.a Graciebird). And her current obsession with Dodd.....;-D


Dear, Audrey shopping for clothes with her pet deer, Ip.

When, I return look for semi-reviews (only, semi, because I couldn't write a proper review to save my life; I usually just end up sharing what I liked or didn't like or why is amazed me or why is annoyed me) of "Hud" and "That Funny Feeling".

I shall return!

Morphing fun...

I was really, REALLY bored the other night, and I happened to come across a very interesting site called MorphThing. I was seriously fascinated. Not, only do they have millions of today's celebrities (ugggh), but that also have a small amount of classic stars, plus you can upload your own pictures. Here are a few of my favorite morphs:


Marilyn Monroe + Audrey Hepburn= Audryn Monburn


Marilyn Monroe + Grace Kelly= Marilace Kellroe


Marilyn Monroe + Ingrid Bergman= Inglyn Monman


Audrey Hepburn + Ingrid Bergman= Audrid Bergburn


Audrey Hepburn + Me = Millrey!

Okay, the one of me was just for fun! It really does look like me. I got Audrey's face shape and eyebrows, and she got me mouth and nose. We have pretty similar eyes though.


That site was so much fun, check it out if you have time...and have fun morphing (they had other stars too, like Elizabeth Taylor and Ann-Margaret).

The results are in...

Here are the results to my poll, "The Most Beautiful Out Of My Top 5?".

Grace Kelly (with two votes)


Ava Gardner (with three votes)


Gene Tierney (with three votes)


Audrey Hepburn (with three votes)


And the winner....

Ingrid Bergman (with six votes)


I find it just amazing that some how Ingrid Bergman managed to win. I mean she is my favorite, but does that mean I fixed the poll? Not necessarily. Heh,heh,heh,heh!


By the way, be sure and vote in my new poll!

Another lovely lady gone too soon...

I honored dear Carole's death on the 16th, but for some inexplicable reason...I forgot about darling Audrey's on the 20th.

If I were to write a post about how much I love her...it would go on for ever and ever! So, instead I pulled up a slide-show I made on Photobucket, a while ago.

Here it is:



I will love the darling Audrey forever!

Favorite Sunglasses Moments

Sometimes, I wish it was summertime, just so I could wear sunglasses. Right now where I live it is rain, rain, rain, rain (as it is most of the year).

I ADORE sunglasses, although, as I believe I have stated before I am SO mad that big ones are so popular. Because then when I wear Audreyesque shades I look like every other teenage girl trying to look cool. And I HATE that.

But, my love of them cannot be vanquished. I decided to put together a list of my favorite moments of sunglasses genius...Audrey appears several times...also, some other great moments. Most are from films (I will note which films too), but a couple are not.

These are my top 10 in order of favoritist (not a word I know...) lowest favorite to top favorite:

Honorable Mentions: To two very EVIL ladies...(In these movies):

Barbara Stanwyck in "Double Indemnity"


Gene Tierney in "Leave Her To Heaven"


10.
Audrey Hepburn in "Charade"



9.
Audrey Hepburn going to the movies with her son Sean, 1969.


8.
Carole Lombard...skeet-shooting...she is so stupendously amazingingly cool!


7.
Various Audrey shots from "Breakfast At Tiffany's"




6.
Audrey in "Charade" I have decided that these are different than the ones above, but who knows.


5.
Grace Kelly in "To Catch A Thief".




4.
Sandra Dee in "A Summer Place".


3.
Audrey Hepburn in "Two For The Road".




There is a VERY cool looking shot of Audrey, but I could only find it in a side-by side shot with Lindsay Lohan. I could not bring myself to post a pic of Lindsay on my blog (nothing against her, but she hardly can be considered a fashion icon to Audrey's caliber!). So clink on this link to take you to the pic...a very good one of Audrey!

2.
Doris Day on a random set...sorry, but I really don't have too much info about this pic, except that I ADORE it!

I LOVE the fact that she has lollipop in her mouth...it makes the picture that much more awe-inspiring.


AND THE WINNER IS.................................................................................







1.




Audrey Hepburn in "How To Steal A Million"!
I think what really clinched it for me was the hat. I know that is unfair to the other participants who had no such cool hat, but hey I COULDN'T help it! It was way TOO amazing!



Now, this is not at all a pair of sunglasses, but is this mask stunning or what?

Also, from "How To Steal A Million".

And, a few special mentions to some gentlemen that pulled off the look quite well:

James Dean.


Cary Grant in "North By Northwest".


Sorry, if some good one's got left off (this list is mainly comprised off pics I had saved in my computer). I am sure that I will probably have a "return of the sunglasses" some time soon, for all those I forgot.

Some of my favorite things...

I love everything vintage! Especially film and music!

I thought I would share some of my very, very favorite vintage things! Which can be difficult...because I have SO many! I am going to split this up into separate posts for actresses, actors, directors, and music. To name my favorite films would be too hard and too long of a post!

First up: Actresses. I am going to narrow this down to ten, because past that it would go on forever and ever and ever!

Actresses:

1. Ingrid Bergman


Why? She is absolutely amazing. She is also gorgeous...which helps...hahaha.

She uses her eyes extensively in showing emotion, I love that. One can see so much more depth of performance from eyes, actors that use them are quite talented.

She was also a natural beauty. When she first came to America from Sweden, the studio producers told her she would need to cap her teeth, pluck her eyebrows, and wear a lot more make-up. She refused. She never did cap her teeth or pluck her eyebrows, and she wore barely any make-up...even during filming.

2. Audrey Hepburn


Why? Audrey was a classy lady on and off the screen. She was a talented actress and an even better person. Kind, thoughtful, stylish, funny, gorgeous, clever...she was everything.

I just love her style too. Absolutely timeless. Although, I seriously wish the big sunglasses weren't so popular, because then I could wear them without looking like every other person...LOL!

3. Grace Kelly


Why? She WAS Grace Kelly. A real-life princess. With extraordinary talent. I love he acting. I love her style. I love her.

.....the rest have no particular order........

Jean Arthur

Why? She was a great actress and an especially gifted comedian. Forever shy, insecure, and withdrawn in real life, it was a struggle just to act. But, she did...and she did it well. Also, she was just beautiful!

Carole Lombard


Why? I love Carole. One of the funniest ladies to ever grace the screen! Tragically she died all too soon, but she still left a wonderful body of work behind. She always make me laugh. And she could do drama just as well.

Sandra Dee


Why? Sandra Dee was a truly gifted actress. She never really has gotten the attention she deserves though. Also, she was beautiful and I love her as Gidget...hahaha

Barbara Stanwyck


Why? Because she could act. That is all that is necessary, but she also added a great comic timing, beauty, and poise.

Doris Day


Why? She could sing, act, dance, make me laugh. And in all she brought freshness and bubblyness. You can't help but feel happy watching one of her films.

Gene Tierney


Why? Because she made an under-bite look GORGEOUS! Also, you could believe her as the sweetest, clueless ingenue ("Laura") or the most evil, scary lady ("Leave Her To Heaven")....quite an accomplishment!

Olivia De Havilland


Why? Because she was totally ruled Joan Fontaine (sister)! And she was a good actress. She had no fear in accepting parts, and was more than willing to do any role...as long as it challenged her. She didn't even mind trying to look ugly ("The Heiress"), although it was quite impossible to even make her look ugly in that film!

I have so many other favorite actresses...the list goes on forever and ever! I will certainly be highlighting them though in future posts!

Next up:

Favorite actors!
