...The Judging of Beauty The dictionary defines beauty as a beautiful or pleasing thing or person, in particular a beautiful woman; an excellent specimen or example of something; (the beauties of) the pleasing or attractive features of something; the best feature or advantage of something. But it refers to only the outward appearance of things. So is the inherent beauty excluded from the judging of the beauty? In the real world, we consider Marilyn Monroe and Audrey Hepburn as beauty. Both of them are celebrities with a nice-looking face, perfect body and great fashion taste. And they have the characteristics indicated in the dictionary to be such beauty. So people would classify them as particularly beautiful women. Clearly, there are huge differences between these two beauties. Marilyn Monroe was a major sex symbol during the 1950s and 1960s. She was beautiful and sexy on television. In a contrast, Monroe’s personal life was a mess. We can clearly see from her personal life that she did not have any beauty inside of her. She not only had a naked shoot for a magazine; had three marriages; rely excessively on drugs and pills but also had affairs with both John F. Kennedy and Robert Kennedy. Various marriages, naked photo shoots and drug abuse might not say it all, but having affair with two men clearly can. It’s on a moral prospective. Her affairs Zhang 2 with two men meant she did not put herself on a right position. Such a woman had no connotation because of her moral...

The “Green Ribbon” represents how girly I am. The “Red Nail Polish”. When I became a teenager, like I said, I love colors! and so I’ve been very addicted to nail polish.

...The character I have chosen is Holly Golightly, from Breakfast at Tiffany’s. This has been my all time favorite movie. In the movie, Audrey Hepburn plays a female character that is very spontaneous and spunky. I feel that throughout the movie she shows to be an extraversion. She meets a neighbor who is amazed how she talks and lives her life. She throws a party in her apartment and is very sociable and seems to be star of the show. Holly comes off to other people as very friendly and affectionate. Throughout the movie, the neighbor “Fred” finds out that deep down she has a lot of problems. He finds her to be in the neuroticism category. She is nervous about her past and she is insecure of herself. Holly feels the need to sneak up to her neighbor’s apartment because she is lonely. As soon as he asks her why she is crying, she becomes high strung and a bit upset. Holly and “Fred” go out into New York City and have a fun day together. They pick original things for them to do and some are creative. At this point in the movie I feel as though she falls into the openness to experience category. She has a great imagination in which “Fred” points out and is attracted to. Towards the end of the movie, Holly’s former husband comes to find her. When she finds out he is in New York, she becomes nervous again. I feel as though at this point she is in the agreeableness category. She agrees to go back with him and is forgiving. She seems to be soft hearted to her former husband. Then...

Though the Gucci Accessories Collection was well received, it proved to be the force that brought the Gucci dynasty crashing down. Within a few years, the Perfumes division began outselling the Accessories division. The newly-founded wholesaling business had brought the once-exclusive brand to over a thousand stores in the United States alone with the GAC line, deteriorating the brand’s standing with fashionable customers.

The baby boom was at an all time high and women were expected to quit their jobs and be full time homemakers1. It was during this time that Hubert De Givenchy was just starting out on his own as a couturier in Paris and was know to have a minimalistic and unconventional style. His aim during the 50’s and into the 60’s was to help empower women through their clothes and break down the feminine ideals of grace and beauty, abandoning the stereotypes associated to them. He allowed for the flexibility of the female identity through his multiple creations of contrasting silhouettes that were rather rebellious and unconventional at the time that it was being made. Hubert De Givenchy was born on 21st february 1927 in Beauvais, France. Hailing from a very prosperous family, Hubert went on to attend college at Beauvais before moving to Paris to pursue his dreams of being a couturier. In 1944 he joined the couture house of Jacques Fath while attending school at Ecole Des BeauxArts2. Later in the 40’s he took a series...

One night I asked my mother to teach me how to appreciate the values in life. Would you care what she told me? "Stop bothering me! Can’t you see? I had to dress up for my mahjong session, some other time my child". I turned to my father to console me, but, what a wonderful thing he told me. "Child, here’s 500 bucks, get it and enjoy yourself, go and ask your teachers that question". And in school, I heard nothing but the echoes of the voices of my teachers torturing me with these words. "Why waste your time in studying, you can’t even divide 100 by 5! Go home and plant sweet potatoes". I may have the looks of Audrey Hepburn, the calmly voice of Nathalie Cole. But that’s not what you can see in me. Here’s a young girl who needs counsel to enlighten her way and guidance to strengthen her life into contentment.

She entered the film industry when it had previously featured male stars and immediately gained attention in her roles, throwing aside expectations of Hollywood women.

...Unicef saved Audrey Hepburn's life as a child in Holland at the end of the war just as it was going to save the Sudanese boy's life, and that is one reason why she is so proud to be a Unicef ambassador. It is the repaying of a very personal debt. But there is a deeper connection with the war years, one which brings her to London this week, not only to raise money for Unicef through public performance, but to pay tribute to the unquenchable spirit of the child in trouble through the life of one individual, Anne Frank. On Thursday, at the Barbican, Audrey Hepburn and Michael Tilson Thomas conducting the London Symphony Orchestra will be presenting their version of the life of Anne Frank through the words of her diary and Tilson Thomas's specially composed music. It is a project which has returned both Tilson Thomas and Audrey Hepburn to their own youth through their identification with the undisguised turbulence of Anne Frank's own adolescence, one in which every emotion was intensified by incarceration and fear of capture. This is powerful material enough, but for Hepburn the connection with Anne Frank is even more personal. When I met her to talk about it she was perched in a plush Claridges suite. I was expecting sophistication, elegance and a polished film-star performance. I had been told that she was every good thing from hard-working, generous and thoughtful to charming and downright divine. This undersold her, making her sound bland. The woman I met surprised me by...

...Everyone will eventually be forgotten. No one lasts eternally in a mortal body. When I realized this, one of my greatest fears turned into a cruel fact. Throughout my entire youth, I wanted to be remembered, but memory only endures for as long as one’s story is worth telling. Even if I became the next Shakespeare or Mozart, I would one day be forgotten. Even the great have a limited place in the memory of society. Less than thirty years ago, Audrey Hepburn still acted, but some children today may ask, “Who is Audrey?” If memories are fleeting, one’s purpose in life must belong elsewhere. The future will forget you, but the present will love you because the two of you were made for each other. All we human beings have is now. To some, now...

...Chanel ------------------------------------------------- Top of Form Bottom of Form * Born: August 19, 1882 in Saumur, France * Died: January 10, 1971 in Paris, France * Nationality: French * Occupation: Fashion designer Legend. Coco Chanel once declared, "Legend is the consecration of celebrity," and no other fashion designer in history has exceeded either Chanel's celebrity or her legend. She was a fiercely independent lover of dukes, industrialists, and artists; a confidante of many of the creative geniuses of her day—among them, writer Jean Cocteau, painter Pablo Picasso, ballet impresario Sergei Diaghilev, and composer Igor Stravinsky; and a self-created image of the free-spirited "new woman" of the 1920s. Through her personal example and the fashion empire she established, Chanel launched and sustained the movement toward simplicity, practicality, and unfussy elegance in women's clothing. "A fashion that does not reach the streets is not a fashion," she said, and by the early years of the 1920s, Chanel fashion had reached streets throughout Europe and the United States. Early Life. Chanel both obscured and embroidered upon the facts of her early life; as one of her biographers declared, "She was herself a Chanel creation." Though she claimed to have been born in Auvergne in 1893, records show that she was actually born in the poorhouse of the town of Saumur ten years earlier. Her mother, a poorhouse employee, and her father, an itinerant tradesman, were...
