Kitten with the Violet Eyes




































































I've been flying around the world so many times and feel so guilty as I just haven't had time to sit and write about the passing one of the greatest Bombshells of the silver screen.

Her nickname was Kitten, the first woman to earn 1 million dollars for acting in a film, with her own successful line of perfumes (before every minor starlet and her dog jumped on that bandwagon) and she had one of the most stunning jewelry collections in the world. If you haven't yet guessed who I'm writing about, think of an actress with vivid violet eyes, a woman who was married 8 times and an incredible supporter for the fight against AIDS, Dame Elizabeth Rosemond Taylor.

About being the first woman in history to earn a whopping million dollars (for the title role in Cleopatra), Elizabth said, "If someone's dumb enough to offer me a million dollars to make a picture, I'm certainly not dumb enough to turn it down." She was also quoted saying, "Success is a great deodorant. It takes away all your past smells." and, "Some of my best leading men have been dogs and horses."
My favourite quote being "When people say 'she's got everything', I've got one answer - I haven't had tomorrow."

    I was going to post on her also, but it was all over the place last week, and I kind of lost interest. I love that you picked it back up. She was such a true movie star. Hope you're having a fabulous Tuesday honey! I posted twice today...come by and check me out! Kori xoxo

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.
