The First Gabor Sister


The first thing I will tell you about this Miss Hungary of 1936, is her name is Sari Gabor, but everyone calls her Zsa Zsa.

Zsa Zsa, her sister Magda and her actress sister Eva (oh, I adore Eva in "Green Acres") are from Budapest, Hungary and besides Holly Golightly and Jeannie Little she's one of the most famous women to use the world "dahling" when addressing people.

Zsa Zsa is most famous for her many fantastic quotes and also her many marriages. I think she's had nine husbands. But so many great quotes. Amongst her noteworthy quotes are:

"I have never hated a man enough to give his diamonds back."
"A girl must marry for love, and keep on marrying until she finds it."
"To a smart girl men are no problem - they're the answer."
"I never remember anybody's name. How do you think the "dahling" thing got started?"
"Husbands are like fires. They go out if unattended."
"I am a marvelous housekeeper. Every time I leave a man I keep his house."

and my favourite Zsa Zsa quote :
"Being jealous of a beautiful woman is not going to make you more beautiful."

I love that in 1989 she was arrested for slapping a police officer in Beverly Hills. She went to jail for it. The beautiful thing about it is she's so able to poke fun at herself, making it so hard not to like her. I know it was some sort of traffic violation (unfortunately, us Bombshells aren't famous for our impeccable driving) but I wonder what the policeman said to her to warrant that slap.

Something else I know about her is that, amongst her other husbands, she married and divorced Conrad Hitlon, so that makes her Paris Hilton's ex-grandmother. I also think she lives with her current husband in a house previously owned by the late Elvis Presley in Bel Air. Another great thing about Zsa Zsa Gabor is that nobody knows the exact date of her birth.

Lights, camera, action

Last week, I audtitioned for a part in a theatre company and got in. Bombshells like the limelight, even us shy kittens. When we shine brightly we can be blinding, but when we flickers to a dim glow, well... you'd probably prefer not to know about it. We are used to people paying attention to us. It's our part in life to be admired. It is a reason very few people see us "sans make-up"! It's a famous bombshell tradition to always receive a bouquet of flowers after the first and last show in a season. I look forward to it so much! Bombshells, if nobody is giving/sending you bouquets, send them to yourself. You deserve it. Courtsey, take the compliments and sign your autograph with finesse!

Louis Vuitton Barbie

This is gorgeous. Just gorgeous with a '70's style thing going on here. And I have to admit I am rather ever so slightly envious of her abundance of accessories. Lucky plasticated bombshell... A Barbie for grown up girls? I think so. Though I have a feeling my little girl would confiscate it from me. I, kittens, am confined to the boudoir today as I suffer from consumption. Ok, not quite consumption. A case of hypochondria perhaps. And a post-nasal drip. Though I might just roll out of bed for one of these beauties. I don't know what one of these gems would cost. Anyone? Are they still available? Who knows..  But for now, I shall just roll over and get back to Club Duvet.

No More For Vanessa And Johnnie

After 14 years as a couple, raising their two children 12 year old Lily-Rose and 9 year old Jack, actor Johnny Depp and his french girlfriend Vanessa Paradis have decided to go their separate ways. I thought it was so romantic for him to buy a private island for them to share together.  These things remind us that nothing lasts forever. Separation.  Was it clash of ego? Was it addiction difficulties?  Confusion of priorities?  What a crying shame and such a common thing to happen, especially for celebrities.
