Make me feel like I'm the one who's moving you

Miu Miu + Kirsten Dunst

I love this Miu Miu campaign that featured Kirsten Dunst for their 2008 Spring/Summer collection.

Her hair - and in particular her red ribbon and Goldilocks curls...perfection! Something about all the red in these pictures also reminds me of another forlorn fairytale character: Little Red Riding Hood. Can you blame a wolf for wanting to eat her up when she's dressed in those clothes with those tresses so bouncy, lips so red and that ribbon to match?

*Howl!*

WWJD: What would Jane do?

Jane Birkin, just kicking it in the pool with picturesque snowy mountains as a background setting, sipping on what I can only assume is a delicious fruity cocktail, floating above the water goddess-like in a TRANSPARENT PLASTIC BLOW-UP CHAIR. Amazing. Words fail to describe my love for this woman. She can do no wrong, and you best be believing there will be more coverage on her in the future. I've been holding back on not over-killing it with her because it is too damn easy.

I found this picture on what could maybe now be one of my favourite tumblrs: tangents and the tumblr. Love the author, love her blog too. Don't waste your time here, that girl has it covered.

Almost as much as Jane :)

Talisa Soto

Talisa Soto struck me to the core when I saw her in the 1989 James Bond film Licence to Kill. I love the late 80's wardrobe (basically obsessed with the once dreaded 80's), I love Talisa's short hair and extra thick eyeborows and those eyes that could burn holes right through you. Never before have I seen a more feline face (with the exception of Michelle Phillips, and even then they would be of differing pedigree/breeds), and with her striking part Italian/part Puerto Rican genetics, Talisa is one exotic mamacita.

Talisa features in Licence to Kill as Lupe Lamora, the mistress of South American drug lord Franz Sanchez. You get Lupe's bad ass vibe from the start when Franz walks in on her with another man in bed; and to play up on a psycho like Franz Sanchez this lady would have to have some serious audacity. I still don't understand why James Bond TURNS HER DOWN at the end of the film for Carey Lowell?!?

But anyway.

My boyfriend would be devastated if I didn't mention the fact Talisa also starred as Princess Kitana in the 1995 Mortal Kombat film, a la ...

and

And just for some bonus trivia, Talisa is now married to Benjamin Bratt of Demolition Man, Miss Congeniality and 1990's Law and Order fame (and former long-term boyfriend of Julia Roberts fame). It has to be said, the tanned and pretty pair of them do make a very cute couple (and I haven't Google-stalked their kids out of respect but I bet they are mighty cute too), as seen in 2004:

Yet I highly doubt anything could be much prettier than Talisa herself back in her hey-day as Lupe Lamora and a highly in demand 80's model:

Michelle Phillips

Woah, mama. I am constantly mesmerised by the staggering beauty that is Michelle Phillips from 60's quartet The Mamas and the Papas. Not to rhapsodise but... her beauty seems eternal, as though her face could be the pinnacle of perfection for any period in history. I can see her as a sphinx-like Egyptian empress; or a lady-in-waiting to the Queen of a 16th century monarchy, all bursting corsets and bejewelled hair-net crowns.

Instead she belonged to the mid 1960's, the time of flower power freedom, when women started moving away from heavy dollybird make-up to all things naturally beautiful, and Michelle had natural beauty in spades. Legend has it that John Phillips met Michelle when he was on tour with his band The Journeymen and divorced his then-wife quick-smart in order to snap up 18-year-old Michelle for marriage. Together with Cass Elliot and Denny Doherty, Michelle and John went on to become world famous for their somewhat unlikely musical foursome.

Supposedly, the Phillips' marriage was rife with affairs (allegedly mainly on her side..) and the union only lasted until 1970, but John continued to write music for his former bride following their divorce. After her relationship with John was over, it has been said that Michelle went on to have love affairs with a whole string of male celebrities including Warren Beatty, Jack Nicholson and Dennis Hopper. Who can blame the girl for wanting to share the love around? While she was singing California Dreaming everyone was dreaming of her.
