Joan Collins' hat-veil combo is screaming at me to wear wear it. Preferably accessorised with a couple of gigantic, lolloping Great Danes.
ReplyDelete(Cher's is saying "take me back to the rainforest")
And I thought Beverly Sills was Ana Matronic before I scrolled down enough to read the caption.
Dame Joan's hat is mine! {And I'd be accompanied by two Salukis - much more Art Deco.)

PS As much as I adore Ana Matronic, I cannot imagine her tackling Richard Strauss's Ariadne auf Naxos...
Some people can wear a hat better than others.
ReplyDeleteJoan, Sir Ian and Kay Kendall certainly know how.

Wow, that's a glamorous collection of ladies born in May!
ReplyDeleteJoan though, it'll hurt when she's no longer with us.

I'm lining up my black armbands as we speak, sweetie, for her and so many of the icons of our youth. David McCallum, Madhur Jaffrey, Dame Janet Baker, Asha Bhosle and Julie Newmar turn 90 this year - and the likes of Leontyne Price, Rita Moreno, Glynis Johns, William Shatner, Stanley Baxter, Chita Rivera, Clint Eastwood, Kim Novak, Michael Caine, Barbara Eden, Dick Van Dyke, Tony Bennett and Mel Brooks are already well into their 90s!

Stop it! If I cry any more I'll need MORE eye drops! (And a very expensive face lift!)
ReplyDeleteLike Kim Basinger's..? Jx
