Lady Love

Women - they don't make them like they used to, perhaps it was all the dairy products they ate or the unprocessed animal fat? Perhaps it was the nature of the lifestyle, handwashing, hand beating and kneading, heavy lifting, lots of walking, what ever it was shapes like these are hard to come by these days. I was going to say it was the tailoring but you cant say that with a Bikini on.

Drum role please...with an honorable mention to Gina Lollabridgida and a very young Jane Fonda but they both should have eaten a few more steaks to qualify.

The one and only Raquel Welsh.

There is something about his woman's presence, her confidence and yes no doubt the shoulder / hip ratio - she has very broad shoulders that work like the coat hanger from heaven.

Anita Eckberg Ok I will never forget seeing this woman's body for the first time tucked up in my seat to see Fellini's La Dolce Vita already in love with her leading man Marcello Mastroianni she appears; her face, her radiant angelic womanly face - great from any angle, impossibly proportioned - you would think that torso required an inner scaffold to support the dimensions of that frame, her immense heaving chest atop of the tiniest waist, as a clothing designer I marveled at the cut of this dress the bodice not tight yet harnessing her chest, an inverted triangle of flesh, perfection and temptation - pure heaven.

Sophia Loren The brutal savage beauty, I am quite sure Sophia would have had a fiery and volatile sensuality and spirit with a temper to match - just my personal opinion. This fine example of a woman encompasses it all for me, an earthy yet glamorous, defiant, dynamic purposeful woman, the woman, the beauty, the siren, the wife, the actress, the mother, the home maker, the achiever, the feisty and determined. I love her!


This image is so exquisite on so many levels. I am speechless at its perfection.

A Goddess almost mythical.

Monica Belluci This woman makes me and I am sure the entire male populous melt, she is soft like the perfect dessert, tepid and inviting and yes I think I would change sides for her, she invites like a beautiful pool of glistening water.

See.....

Uma Thurman The fascinating imperfect beauty, alluring and can fight like an action hero - now that's a woman! Legs to her neck, an almost geeky elegance, intriguing and genuinely and intuitively talented. Her strangeness is compelling, statuesque and majestic. Uma magic.

  




















So hopefully as a woman I can take a leaf from each of these icons pages and attempt to reflect a small portion of them within me. There is however a woman I do suspect lives with in me, besides the actual me and I fancy her as a 6 foot tall dark skinned powerhouse!

Grace Jones Outrageous and completely unconventional!

Magnificent.
