Happy 91 Nelson Mandela


Very few people can make me burst into tears merely be looking at them.


When I see Nelson Mandela walking hand-in-hand with the love his life, his wife Graca Machel, my heart sings.


On a personal note, I am so glad that after years of jail and a vicious and celebrity chasing former wife, this extraordinary man found happiness with this feisty, intelligent, loving woman.


Happy 91 years Nelson. The world loves you.

Fonda Iconography


Many many MANY people have never forgiven Jane Fonda for her 1970s activism. If you read her memoirs, you will see it from a different perspective.


This complex, intelligent stylish woman has never lived life half heartedly, and boy should we all embrace that idea!


I love her for her honesty, for her continuing search for meaning, for being the first to make me understand that - in her words - "you don't want to get to the end of your life and suddenly realise that it wasn't a dress rehearsal".


And look at what she has on here! That's toooooo cute and ironic.

In memory of Carolyn Bessette-Kennedy




She has been dead ten years now. But her style and elegance live on. She was never able to blossom into the woman she should have - and would have - become, but she will also be remembered for her beauty and her style. That's all we knew about her really. Killed before her time.
