As I want to steer this blog in a style direction I also want to feature my very own style icons. The obvious to start with would be of course Bettie Paige, Grace Kelly or Marilyn Monroe or more current Gwen Stefani or Dita von Teese. Whereas I do want to post about these great ladies in the future I prefer to start with my current icon for vintage hair.
Rita Hayworth is in my opinion the most beautiful lady of the 40s. I adore her. A shy personality who went through a really peculiar make-over to achieve the looks that made her famous. I do think she was beautiful all Latina and natural but I also have to admit that the make-over did work. I find her simply perfect.

| Much later on she also rocked blonde - and look at these victory rolls! |
 |
| My favourite look - propably everyones - is Rita as a redhead. It made her really famous and she looks - flawless. |
 |
| What a truly stunning beauty |

If you would like to know more about Rita here's a wonderful site with many more beautiful pictures, facts and figures:
And I leave you with her most memorable quote:
"Men fell in love with Gilda, but they wake up with me."
