      I think it's fairly safe to say that the vast majority of Bombshells, at one time or another has worn leopard print somewhere on their body. If you haven't worn an animal print before and you're hesitant to present yourself to your public when wearing it, I suggest only adding a hint of print to your ensemble. Try wearing a leopard print cuff or a scarf tied around your neck, or handbag.  Get used to wearing it and then take it from there to wherever you desire.

Scarves are an essential part of the Bombshell daily wardrobe. Though we each have a wide selection of scarves in a myriad of shapes and sizes, we prefer them to be made of pure silk and edged by hand. They each have their own purposes. Today we're looking at scarves wrapped around our heads for a variety of occasions. Of course, you already know how much I adore turbans, well this is the next best thing! We can use scarves to frame our faces, to highlight our prefered features. Scarves tied around our 'do's' are little darlings when it comes to hiding our hair between hairdresser visits or when we lack the time to perfect our desired style. They lend a hint of colour to our day when we're feeling blue. Always a glamorous touch when we're naked.  They help us look stunning.

I enjoyed high tea today with my darling friend Lady Judson at a quaint little cafe in the darling village-suburb of Barnes in South London. Orange Pekoe tea cafe is devine and very much worth spending an afternoon chatting over little goodies and delectables. Orangge Pekoe serves a magnificent high tea and is full of women getting together for a chat and a treat, two by two. http://www.orangepekoeteas.com/

Here's an idea. Why not put your personal touch to candy? M&M's have a "personalise your own candy" department and you can order them in your own signature colour.  Even better, it's all available to order online! Here's where to look:  http://www.mymms.com/utility.aspx?oid=65 My mind is absolutely reeling just thinking of the possibilites. You could try your ever-important monogram - which we have discussed before (see archives). An edible business card perhaps (Holly Golightly - travelling)! Your options are simply endless for creative kittens. . .

I love this tiny snippet of The Lucille Ball Show where Lucy's new librarian housemate, played my the brilliantly talented Carol Burnette, overcomes her fears and sings. The perfect song for April.

Can you imagine Maureen O'Sullivan, Marie Windsor, Marilyn Monroe, Kim Novak, Sharon Tate, Diana Hill, Barbara Eden, Rita Moreno, Evelyn Keyes, Ayn Rand, Ann B Davis and Linda Darnell living at the one single address? Well, they did. Not all at the same time, mind you. The Studio Club was a residence, though some referred to it as more of a sorority house, open to women seeking a career in any facet of showbusiness It was originally designed by the architect who designed Hearst Castle, to house 88 young women.  The Club hosted acting classes, dances, teas, dinners and occasional plays, fashion shows and stunt nights. The cost was $15 weekly and that included a single or double room and 2 meals daily. How I wish this was still the way of the world! But that's not all folks, it also provided each resident with two meals a day, the all-important sundeck, sewing machines, hair driers, laundry equipment, typewriters, theatre literature, practice rooms and even a rehearsal st
