Style Icons 2: Veruschka

Veruschka von Lehndorff
German Actress, Model, Artist

Known for her bizarre looks and abnormal height (she was around 6 feet, which is tall for a model) Veruschka soon became one of the most famous models of the late 60's and 70's. 














Style Icons 1: Layla and Jennifer Juniper


The Boyd sisters were young models in the 60's known for their relationships with famous rock musicians. Older sister Patty was at one point stuck in a bizarre love triangle with George Harrison and Eric Clapton, having songs such as "Something" (Abbey Road), "Layla" (Layla and Other Assorted Love Songs), "For You Blue" (Let It Be), and "Wonderful Tonight" (Slowhand) written for her.

Meanwhile, Jenny Boyd had caught the likings of folk-rock singer Donovan, who wrote "Jennifer Juniper" about her.  She would later marry Fleetwood Mac drummer Mick Fleetwood.

Well, it's been awhile. Hello again.

It's not like anyone noticed, haha. But still. :)

IT'S ABOUT TIME I STARTED POSTING ON THIS

Oh, look. It appears that you're reading my little baby blog.

(But please don't turn away, I promise much more in the future..)

If you stay, that'd be great, but it's okay if you run the other way, too.
