    Charlotte Rampling is really beautiful. I saw once in real and she’s just amazing!
    My favorite beautiful women: Naomi (she is just the perfect model!), Catherine Deneuve (who turned 66 recently), Diane Kruger, Vivian Leigh, Jennifer Aniston (can’t help it, I’m a big fan) and last but not least Audrey Hepburn <3
    By the way, I really like your blog !

    Despite your popularity, there is something very unique & uncommon about your tastes & wide knowledge.
    This post, disregarding it’s superficial premises makes me so proud. All the multicultural faces you have included, oh swoon!
    Seriously, this means a lot to me.
    Also, I love your little tidbits throughout all your posts – peppering it with your voice is a treat!
    Don’t let any space in your mind be infested by nasty things that are written about you on the internet (usually under the guise of anonymous comments) – they don’t understand or see the world the way you do!
    Good luck with everything.
