Celebrities

Holy shit! Va va va vooom!

A closeup of one of Dita Von Teese’s costumes, from her Twitter stream:

You can see her perform in this costume in this clip:

This kind of goes against my principles, since I’m in full support of Dita being as glam as she wants to be, regardless of any artifice. But us ladies do have a morbid fascination with seeing the celebrities we adore without makeup or with their natural hair colour, so I’m sure you’ll be interested to see these pics anyway. Of course, she still looks gorgeous…

Audrey Hepburn and her pet baby deer, Pippin (or Ip).

Did you ever see so much beading and so many Swarovski crystals in your life!?!  That costume must be SO heavy! The hours and hours that would have gone into all that – it could only have been done by hand. Wow…

Hmm, that sounded dirty. Anyway, that’s not what I mean. I’m talking about my ongoing state of indecision about having bangs (or a fringe, as we would say in Australia). Here are some celebrity bang photos I’ve added to my collection recently:

So does the December issue of Vogue. Many a theatrical shot, no doubt in honor of her starring stage role in A Streetcar Named Desire with the Sydney Theatre Company, which has been touring the US the last few months. Sigh, I’d love to see her play Blanche…

Thanks to The Sartorialist for posting these images from the book Cary Grant: Les Images D’Une Vie. He is just gorgeous, and this photo reminds me of Mad Men’s Don Draper…

Although I love older men, he was charming when he was younger too, and just got better with age…
