I know that choosing pictures for these retrospectives is 1. hard and 2. subjective, but it's the 1960s: BEATLES PLEASE? They did, like, totally dominate American culture for a solid 4 to 6 years, there.
Donyale Luna was a genuine stunner. I so remember the crocheted dress shot when it was released. You could not take your eyes off her. So sad how her life and career unraveled at the end.
I just heard of Donyale Luna through the last issue of Nylon, that mentioned her as a style icon. Shame that she denied being black, often identifying her ethnic background as Mexican, American Indian, Chinese, and Irish.
Glamour magazine just had an interesting article about Medgar Evers' grandnieces, 27-year old twin sisters. I liked how their grandpa would talk to his brother out loud, like "Hey, Medgar, can you believe they named a school after you?"
@beatrice2000: I think she also said at some point that she was also an alien...so, not the firmest grasp on reality, right there. That's unfortunate though. I remember reading that...
@veronykah: There are some good tutorials on You Tube - just do a search for Amy Winehouse or Mod Makeup. Bobbi Brown Gel eyeliner is great for that sort of look.
@hannahwilde: @veronykah: Bobbi gel liner is AMAZING for this look. THE BEST, I think. Although Stila Smudge Pots in black are fantastic too, as I've found that they, er, don't smudge and come in much larger pots than the Bobbi. Try the gel before using a skinny liquid liner, these are so much easier to use!
Wow, Donyale Luna was gorgeous! I am so jealous of that graceful neck (I have this short, think little stump of a neck). So sad that she died so young.

And how do I learn to get my eye makeup to look like the Amy Winehouse girl and Sophia Loren btw?

Sigh...I'll never be voluptuous. I gained 10 lbs for a few months this year and just ended up lumpy.

Also, I love the DEER that was apparently photographed in Toronto. Where are all the deer now, oh urban sprawl? Replaced by raccoons, apparently.
