vintage musings: Catherine Spaak

Catherine Spaak. Probably my best unknown muse. She’s been such a huge inspiration for me. She is cool, cute, sexy, classy, innocent, mysterious… All in one not so outstanding package. I mean, that is what I love about her, how subtle all those qualities come across. She is no sex bomb and she is no girl next door, she is something in between; something… almost normal and still almost iconic. A sexy kitten.

From a Belgium family, born in France, Catherine made a carrier in Italy. Actress, singer, model, wife, mother. Everything happened to her in her teens. What a busy and intense time that must have been. I believe little is known of her outside Italy/France and I feel her films are hard to find (oh yeah, forget about subtitles, lucky for me I understand about 70% italian, hihi).

Who is your vintage muse?

Vintage Musings: Jane Fonda

Jane Fonda is one of my favorite icons. I fell in love with her after watching Barbarella, long time ago. The first 5 min of the film are just jaw dropping, so freaking sexy! While not exactly the stereotype of beauty, Jane Fonda is extremely sexy. I think if I ever had to choose someone from all history who had the most perfect body, I would say Jane Fonda. Honestly. Now do yourself a favor and go watch Barbarella again, it is so worth it!

Vintage Musings: Cindy Crawford

Tonight I saw a post on Nasty Gal about the 90s nostalgic Supermodels. Also a status on facebook asking who was your fav of those bombs. I would definitely say that supermodels for me that ring a bell are Claudia Schiffer and Cindy Crawford.

I remember when I was a kid and played with my barbies, I would call one of them Schiffer and the other Crawford, making competitions between them, in which Cindy Crawford always won because she was so athletic and brunette (lol). I didn't want Claudia Schiffer to win because she was a blond. Do you think I had problems as a kid? Hahaha

Anyways, if I had to choose today, I think I would choose Claudia Schiffer. Because she has all that Brigitte Bardot look to her. But since Nasty Gal already posted about her, I decided to go for Cindy, my childhood heroine, LOL.

Honestly, she was (and hey, she still is!) smokin HOT!
