I always thought these were the classiest people ever. A little gossip here and there because they were celebrities but nothing scandalous: they were class acts even in their personal lives .. at least my generation thought so. You'd be hard pressed to find their kind in this day and age!

How wonderful. I wish I had taken the time to remind my mum how beautiful she was before she died this summer. I feel like I've found a like minded person. Beauty in all its guises is so important and for some reason becomes increasingly important to me as the world seems so ugly right now. Keep up the good work. I came across your website today.
