Lament for a lost age


[click to embiggen]

After a lovely day with Mother yesterday - it was our turn to host, and she loved sitting in the extensive gardens here at Dolores Delargo Towers - today's a bit more laid-back. The weather doesn't exactly lend itself to pottering out there, despite the fact there are some plants that are obviously outgrowing their pots and need moving on; it's overcast and occasionally drizzly. More like autumn than "high summer".

Let us instead take a good old wallow in the lives of impossibly-glamorous people in exotic locations (well, Hollywood) again, shall we - courtesy of the ever-marvellous Soft Tempo Lounge:

How many stars could you name? And how many are still with us?
[I know Dame Julie Andrews, Sir Michael Caine and Mlle Brigitte Bardot are, but...]

Perfect Sunday Music, nonetheless.

  1. There’s still the glamor and privilege, but a lot more rule breakers now.

    1. I'd argue with the "glamour" bit, as there's a lot less of that nowadays - recent Oscars red carpet promenades have hardly been "classic". Botox, tattoos, implants, yuk. Jx

  2. Brisitte Bardot is still on this side of the grass? Amazing.

  3. Il y avait alors plus d'étoiles à Hollywood que dans le cieux :)
    J’adore le Soft Tempo Lounge, très créatif avec les images et la musique.

    1. The combination of Old Hollywood and Soft Tempo Lounge music is a match made in heaven! Jx

  4. I think I knew just about all of them.
    That was when Hollywood stars really were STARS.
