What is Beauty?
Was reading someone else's post on a different blogspot, and he inquired as to what we consider classic beauty. It's a great question. So... what are your thoughts? Gimme 10 names. They don't have to be "old" starlets from a classical, bygone era, though a lot of mine are.... They can be modern as well. (Though a lot of modern "beauties" rely a lot on makeup.... Have you seen Lindsay Lohan in the "I didn't do it" photos? Ech.) And you can list either sex as well; just list that which defines, in your mind's eye, beauty.
And yes, we know you love your spouse/better half/SO, and think they are the most precious creatures to ever roam the planet. I think mine is. Beyond a doubt. So, that's a given. But I'm thinking of those with a little more recog factor here, someone that every reader can identify, or, at least, look up....
Here's my list, in no particular order:
Audrey Hepburn
Jean Simmons
Grace Kelly
Raquel Welch
Tahnee Welch
Catherine Denueve
Catherine Zeta-Jones
Sofia Loren
Scarlett Johansson
Janine Turner
And I give a special nod to Louise Brooks, as she is a distant relative....
