You scared the tripe out of me! Liza Minelli came up and I thought "NOOOOOO!" Whew! She is still with us. Just as well, cos she's younger than moi!
ReplyDeleteIt'll be a sad day indeed if she goes... Jx
DeleteLiza draped in white death. Ugh. And all those stolen feathers! Still, iconic photo and femmes, all. Thanks for the gallery... though, I could do without all the death adornment. Kizzes.
ReplyDeleteAs the saintly Anna Wintour rightly put it: "Fake fur is obviously more of a polluter than real fur" Jx
DeleteWe all need Feathers, fur, fouff and faff in our lives
ReplyDeleteLovely to see Googie Withers in the March Birthday batch.
Funny - you don't hear of many babies being christened Googie these days. Jx
