barefoot, and pregnant?

.

the next barefoot cover I want to see is something like this- with maybe- a remake of the movie? could you imagine an actress today that could touch the incomparable AVA GARDNER?






NO?


No.


NO?


No.
(but this is about what I might expect from Hollywood-Demi that is)



NO?

 that's a NoNo.



NO?



 ( actually a thought-IF it came to that )



NO?



NO. NO. a thousand times NO.



NO?




honest, I don't even kNOw who this is.



NO?



NO, all I can say is NO- not even as a Count.





NO, no more barefoot anything  please.

Unless, it's this, & make that the Original.

  2. Something that strikes me about some of the younger celebs you feature is that their big doe-eyes make them look dumb (causal relationship undetermined here). And it brought to mind an article I just saw in the NYTimes about girls getting these anime-manga type contact lenses to look like cartoon dolls: http://www.nytimes.com/2010/07/04/fashion/04lenses.html

    Looking for "big eye contacts" to find that link brought up some really scary photos.

    I don't know if it's the gaze or what with these younger celeb types (Katy Perry comes to mind along with your photos of Britney Spears and Christina Aguilerra), but there doesn't seem to be much there there.

    Audrey Hepburn had lovely large eyes, but she seemed to have something behind them that these gals don't.

    There's something shrewd, clever, cunning in the way Ava interacts with the camera -- as with Kate Hepburns in your previous posts -- that I think makes them intriguing in a way today's actresses and celebrities are largely lacking.

  5. Yes, I agree... While there is obvious attraction to sharing and casualness... it appears that it may have moved into warp-speed over recent years. Too much sharing of scandals and personal life to the detriment of self-respect, maybe? Not being a prude by any means, but once something becomes media-infused, it only becomes bigger and bigger until we're all a little turned off.

  6. Funny, just finishing The Bolter and reading about Idina and her fondness for going barefoot. If these people realized how bad that is for your feet. I am now paying the price for all those years of walking around in bare feet when I lived by the beach and now on the lake. Peasant feet is what I have now..ugh!

  7. Another film I haven't seen since I was a child. Ava Gardner was a true beauty and a true star. She is my dad's favourite. Can't say I blame him xx

  8. The dancing is just so subtle and alluring. Beautiful. Another great post and look at "Devastating Beauty."
