After my interview last week with Kim Bowen, who was Stephen Jones' original muse and my post on Elizabeth Taylor's amazing headdresses, I have gone bonkers on fabulous headwear.  Here's another little collection of pictures.

Going completely off the point, can you believe that I'm a Celebrity's been bumped off the schedule for the football?!  I'm missing it already.  I shall have to get my fix at 10pm on ITV2.  I might be bonkers about headdresses but Gillian McKeith is just bonkers!  I want to know how she's managed to get pregnant!  Whatever next? xxx

Gene Tierney is a goddess and I need her headpiece.

As for McGrief I have never laughed so much over so much. Why today I said I couldn't possibly do something as I'd developed a phobia.

Dear Christina, I've been thinking of you today. Hope you're having a relaxing evening, can't belive football's on...grrr!
Babs Streisand, Cher and lady GaGa, you are spoiling me, tremendous.
Now I know you're home I'll post your surprise. xxx
PS Definately around on friday.
PPS How can she be preggers? Surely she'd be phobic about sex?

Louise Brooks is my favourite, closely followed by Babs. I think I see a new obsession developing! Doris Day just looks wrong though, she is too wholesome looking for a headdress.

YvonneSedition said...

Louise Brooks is amazing, closely followed by Marlene Dietrich. In fact I wish we could get away with wearing headdresses all the time as they make everyone look so glamorous, even Lady GaGa, who I really can't stand.

These are sumptuous. Loving Gisele and Natalia's the best. Xxxx

i LOVE that brooksie shot! I've never seen it before -sultry!

Alex said...

Oh the Louise Brooks photo is amazing.

Doris looks somewhat as if she has comedy cartoon hair - don't think it'd be so bad without the curly flicks!

Doesn't that first photo of Cher look like Vix?!!

ps - speaking of headdresses, the pom pom thingy should be with you by now :)

The Garbo headpiece had me gasping, also love Louise Brooks and Gene Tierney, always feel that Gene Tierney was underrated she was simply gorgeous and a darn good actress.
Hope your having a fabulous week.

Wildernesschic said...

Yes Gene Tierney looks amazing ..
How amazing though and beautiful does Barbara Streisand look, she is stunning xx
Gillian got pregnant ???

Sarcastic Bastard said...

Gillian IS bonkers. I think her healthy diet put her over the edge. I'm always searching for excuses not to eat more healthfully.
