Audrey Hepburn

[mariposalabrown]

Was the slit up to the waist like that in those pictures from ONTD? I don't remember that.

I want to go listen to Moon River now.

ETA: Man, no one answered my question, so I watched Breakfast at Tiffany's last night. That dress wasn't slit that high. No one cares though

Well, it had to be slit SOME what, otherwise Audrey would never have been able to walk.

I've taken to wearing my hair in a style reminscent of Audrey in Breakfast at Tiffany's. That's how much I love her. I probably look ridiculous, but I don't care a whip.

I have big eyes and cheekbones, and at the right angle, in the right lighting, when I'm very, very thin, and if you imagine me with a nosejob, I have a vague resemblence to her. So one time, a million years ago, a boy sent me a postcard of a young Audrey. It said on the back, "This picture me a you-pang."

It's still the one of nicest things anyone has ever done or said to me.

I like her well enough - she seemed like a nice woman - but it has always bugged me how people desexualise her. Like she remained a girl forever, despite her marriages and having kids.

It makes me want to find out something earthier about her, like she swore like a sailor or something.

And I dislike how people bang on about how elfin she was, as if it were a good thing, when it was apparently caused by malnutrition as a young girl. It just disturbs me that her figure is held up as an ideal sometimes.

I remember her in the movie Always (a total guilty pleasure of mine)... Wow, was she pretty in that and she was an old woman in it (I think she died shortly afterward).

She was sure classy... today's Hollywood could only hope to be like her. I don't think there will ever be a comparison (no matter how many newbies are proclaimed to be the next Audrey Hepburn). It was a different era in Hollywood... now, we have girls flashing their bits-and-pieces, everywhere.

PLEASE tell me J. Love Hewitt couldn't afford it.

I liked her in Always, too. And you're not too far off on the dates - Always was 1989, and she passed on in 1993.

Rumor has it Posh Spice grabbed it up.

I think I'd rather Jennifer Love Hewitt had it, to be honest -- she at least seems sincere in her adoration. Posh doesn't seem sincere in much of anything.

I think I may be the only person in the world who is "eh" on her. I do respect the charity work she has done, but as far as the MOST BEAUTIFUL WOMAN IN THE WORLD!, charming! classy!, etc, I kind of...don't get it. Feel free to stone me.
