Midweek Wisdom #6 Vintage Images of Celebrities In airports, With A Quote


I never get tired of looking at pictures of Audrey Hepburn.
She is iconic, timeless, the epitome of femininity and a very approachable beauty.
I love her body of work, and I love her body of good works.
I also love her quotes. I have one for you below.
I believe...

I believe in pink. I believe that laughing is the best calorie burner.
I believe in kissing, kissing a lot.
I believe in being strong when everything seems to be going wrong.
I believe that happy girls are the prettiest girls.
I believe that tomorrow is another day and
I believe in miracles.

Midweek Wisdom and Airport Celebs # 3

Happy hump day!
It's time for a little midweek wisdom
paired with a vintage photo of a celeb at an airport.

This week is the irrepressible Liz Taylor
arriving in New York in 1968.

I'd love to think that this is something she would have said.

Midweek Wisdom + Airport Celebs

I found a series of vintage photos of celebs at the airport
 via Conde Nast Traveler
and was thinking, while it lasts
we could do a little midweek wisdom to get us through hump day
and pair it with a fabulous photo 
of a fabulous celeb 
being fabulous.

Who better to get the ball rolling
on the final day of 2014
than Marilyn Monroe?

Here is beautiful Marilyn Monroe
leaving La Guardia airport in NYC and heading to Chicago for the premiere of Some Like It Hot
and below it a quote from Mahatma Ghandi

Iconic Nico


As a makeup artist you spend an enormous amount of time researching everything under the sun.

You have to know where it's been to know where it's going.
You have to have a vast knowledge encompassing every iconic moment.
It's fabulous.

Tonight I have been compiling iconic images of German singer, songwriter, model, actress, heroin addict, Nico.

Born  Christi Paffgen in Cologne in 1938, Nico is perhaps mostly remembered for being a Warhol girl and singing with The Velvet Underground
Her story (like all the iconics) is fascinating. 
She was discovered selling lingerie at Berlin's KaDeWe at 16, her 5'10" frame and chiseled features paved her way into modeling for prominent magazines including Vogue, Elle, and Tempo.  

TV commercials morphed into movies, including small roles in 1958's La Tempesta and For The First Time (starringMario Lanza )
In 1959 Fellini cast her as herself in La Dolce Vita.

Living in NYC Nico began her music career in 1963, became friends with the Rolling Stones, who introduced her to Andy Warhol. Warhol used her in his movies and made the Velvet Underground use her as a "chanteuse". She became an iconic figure in music throughout the remainder of her life, moving from New York to France to England, finally dying of a heart attack in Ibiza in 1988.
Nico was only 50 when she died.

And if I fail, I fail myself"
