VIntage fashion pictures!

Vintage fashion pictures has won the poll of "What Do You Want to See More of?"

So this entire post will be vintage fashion pictures!
 I absolutely love vintage fashion, I have found many websites where they have amazing vintage stuff,  and I started a collection in a folder, I had WAY more but I got a virus on my computer and lost it all :/

Now most of the ones I am going to post today I just found on Google search, but one of the pictures I found on Google search came from this blog:

Grace Kelly

Grace Kelly was born on November 12th, 1929, and according to Wikipedia; "In June 1999, the American Film Institute ranked her No.13 in their list of top female stars of American cinema."

She had a very short career in Hollywood and only made eleven movies between the years 1951-1956, but in that short of a time, she won an Oscar for her performance in, "The Country Girl", became a fashion icon, and a superstar.

She then married Prince Rainier of Monaco, and remained married to him until her death on September 14, 1982.

Grace was an amazing actress, her style was to die for, she was elegant, beautiful and classy. Her life was shorter than it should have been but she accomplished so much and was so loved, Grace Kelly will NEVER be forgotten.

Here is a poem that Rolland G. Smith wrote about Ginger:
April 25th, 1995

Ginger Rogers Poem
Viewpoint by
Rolland G. Smith (4/25/95)
Some thoughts today on Ginger Rogers. I met her a few weeks ago when she was honored by the Women’s International Center here in San Diego.
I was impressed by her spirit, as she sat in her wheel chair and I wrote the following poem:
“She lives now in a wheelchair
aged by grace and not despair
She once was light in song and dance
though now her steps are dream nuance
She knows she is different now,
yet mind remembers every bow,
with wishes and abandoned hope
tucked within mind envelop
that once held honors for the pair
when she danced with Fred Astair.
We all go through this change in time,
with added years above our prime.
I cannot leave you in this tale
for you to think her spirit frail.
Ginger’s heart is young and agile
though her body seems now fragile.
Her inner light is in control,
patient waiting for bell to toll
the numbered days for time’s release
when all the pain will finally cease.
It was a pleasure once again,
to honor her long lasting reign
as queen of dance and radiance.
I’ll always be her audience."

And in conclusion of this blog post I would just like to say...


HAPPY 100th BIRTHDAY GINGER!!!!!!!!!

Inspirations

So lately two blogs have really been inspiring me: All The Good Things and Via Margutta 51
Follow if you haven't yet, you won't  regret it!

I've been trying to come up with some ways to make the blog a bit more...colorful. With entertaining posts, and totally awesome polls! Hopefully you will see a bit more activity around here, HELP ME BRING SOME LIFE INTO IT!!!! Suggestions and requests are welcome, just email me at ALD1296@gmail.com

And now for a very famous Hollywood actress


Bette Davis: Considered one of the GREATEST actresses of all time, and I'm sure all of you have seen at least one movie with her, right?

Which is your favorite movie?

My personal favorite is June Bride which is one of the very few comedies she made. It was just incredibly good!

She was born April 5, 1908 and died on October 6, 1989, and according to one website made 121 movies. She was extremely talented and won the best actress Oscar twice.

There was also the constant battle between Joan Crawford and Bette, which resulted in several cutting quotes by Bette including this one: 
[commenting on the death of long-time nemesis Joan Crawford] "You should never say bad things about the dead, you should only say good . . . Joan Crawford is dead. Good."

Yeahhhh ouch huh? So despite the fact that they are all smiles in this picture, I can't help but notice they are very much forced. 

Have a great day everyone!
