Picture Galore: Getting Close


Being in a mad mood, I tried cheering myself up by hunting for celebrity pictures of the more personal sort. I found a couple of new ones I had not seen before, some of them apparently shot by Yul Brynner. (I say "apparently", since I have trouble finding the sources of the photographs and I am damaged by university studies.)

Here are some of my finds. They actually got me into a slightly better mood.

They need no friggin' make up...

The moment I wake up
Before I put on my makeup...

I guess there's a lot of glamor in the morning routines of every beautiful actress.
There was however no glamor surrounding me this morning, after only one hour of sleep. Because of the lack of beauty sleep, I am now so distraught about the bags under my eyes that I simply have no inspiration to watch a movie and write a review about it. You will therefore have to do with some more pictures from my hard drive, and pretend that I look as glamorous as they do.





Carole Lombard. I need that make up table.
Any millionaire volunteering to be my sugar daddy?


Yikes! Jean Harlow also has a table devoted to face paint!

Mae Murray brings her portable make up chest.

Marilyn Monroe practices her seductive gaze,
while adding another ounce of lipstick.


What the hell - Miriam Hopkins also has a make up table!
It's not fair! Not fair at all. I need money.

Sophia Loren, with lovely 1960's cat eyes.


Well, this is about how glamorous I think I looked this morning.
