Totally no sagging pants. Very hot men!
ReplyDeleteSophia Loren: I think of fondly for her comment about getting older and needing to gain weight so that you continue to look beautiful. Something about being old and boney. I wish I could find that quote!
I had never heard that quote from Sophia Loren. If you find it, Cygnet...please share.

OK, Cat. Top favorites from Ella would be Paul Newman, Cary Grant, and Audrey Hepburn. Great photos. I have every movie Audrey Hepburn ever made. Sometimes when I am shoe shopping, I think, "Well, these look like something SHE would wear."
