Lil' Blonde Darling: Christina Applegate!

 

Blonde Beauty Icon Christina Applegate

Nobody made looking like trash look as good as Christina Applegate! Starring as blonde airhead Kelly Bundy on the long running sitcom Married... with Children, she worked some of the raunchiest late 80's/early 90's rock hoe looks EVER! And let's not forget her starring role in the 1991 cinematic classic Don't Tell Mom the Babysitter's Dead. It's a personal favorite! "I'm right on top of that Rose"!

Lil' Blonde Darling: Madonna!

Blonde Beauty Icon Madonna

In celebration of today's release of her new greatest hits album Celebration, I bring you my idol, the undisputed Queen of Pop: Madonna! Yes, we all know her Cinderella story: a 19 year old mid-western girl comes to NYC with $35 and the dream of fame and superstardom. After hustling for years by working odd jobs at Dunkin' Donuts, posing as a nude model and playing guitar and drums in rock'n roll bands on the LES, she finally found success in the post-disco club scene and rose to the top of the charts, becoming one of the most successful recording artists of all time. By consistently re-inventing her look and sound with each album, she has managed to stay relevant with the changing trends in the fickle world of pop music. It's been over 25 years since her debut, and the woman still shows no sign of stopping!!

I first became obsessed with Madonna at 10 when I watched her Blond Ambition Tour on HBO. I remember being awestruck by this highly theatrical and sexual woman who obviously had major Catholic issues. My kind of girl! She has been a huge inspiration in my life ever since and really shaped me as a person. She taught me to speak my mind, be myself and not give a fuck what other people think or say about me. Always one to be counted on to bring a serious look, she has majorly influenced my fashion sense as well. Here are some of my favorite Madge images, a lot of them rare and all shot by some of the biggest photographers in the industry...
