Amazing. It is simply wonderful to see how women cared of her beauty daily in the 30s. Enjoy.

{Princess Caroline at "Alternativelight" Art Exposition}

If anyone knows how to dress appropriately for her age that is the daughter of the late Princess Grace, Princess Caroline Grimaldi. In my opinion, to be over forty years doesn´t mean cloistered in a sad jacket suit and a bow, with pearls. I honestly think the key is to represent the age gracefully and take sympathy.

               Fortunately, times have changed and a woman in her fifties can be sexier than a twenty girl.

I must say I dread getting older, and the horrible panic to get old is with me always. However, I hope to do at least as well as Caroline of Monaco.

Last day she attended to 'Arternativelight' Exhibition Launch at Chapiteau de Fontvieille featuring paintings by Robert Redford. Here I post some pictures from zimbio.com.

It's hard to explain what I experience when notes of a special ordered up a musical work. You get to the guts, you stir the blood and this makes your hair on end, and then reborn. It is a climax ... To this aim, the climax, but this lasts barely two minutes. But the journey, the journey to, through Beauty, is also a remarkable journey.

{On this Day...}

The world will not forget you.

{Original "Wedding in Monaco" MGM Film, 1956 directed by J. Masson}

April, 1956. Monaco celebrates the wedding of Grace Kelly and Prince Rainier. Preparations are under way in this principality of 4,000 citizens and 16,000 foreign residents. The U.S. Constitution comes to port; Ms. Kelly disembarks onto the Prince's yacht. That evening, she walks the state rooms of the palace. In the morning, a civil ceremony precedes a party for the nation on the palace grounds. That evening, dancers entertain the royal couple before their nuptial Mass. The next day, the city's populace cheers as a motorcade takes the couple to the yacht for their honeymoon. Protocol, tradition, and love combine; beauty and pageantry, heretofore only imagined, become real...
