Blonde Beauty Icon Joanna Lumley
I love Joanna Lumley SO damn much I just can't handle it!!! Although she started her career in the 60's as a mod fashion model in London, she soon got roles in films and became a Bond Girl in 1969's James Bond: On Her Majesty's Secret Service.

Sashay...Shante!
Bond Girl!
Her first major role was on TV as the globe trotting, karate chopping super spy Purdey in 1977's The New Avengers, a revival of the hit British 60's spy series The Avengers. Featuring a chic bowl cut hairstyle and lots of mid-70's UK fashion, she high kicked her way into popular british culture.

a blonde bob w/ bangs....classic!
It was her portrayal of the chain smoking, alcoholic, drug addicted nymphomaniac ex-model turned executive fashion magazine director Patsy Stone on Absolutely Fabulous (1992-2005), that rescued her career from a 10 year slump. Her performance and comedic timing is GENIUS and I nearly pee my pants every time I watch her on the show. Always sporting an Ivana Trump-esque blonde beehive and never seen without a champagne glass in one hand and a coke straw in the other, Patsy makes being a functioning addict look oh so glamorous! Her chic high paying, do nothing job at the magazine was received by sleeping with the publisher; what's wrong with fucking your way to the top if it gives you more time to drink, sweetie?
A little Stoli. sweetie?
Champs sweetie, dahling!
Hot mess! Haven't we all been there?
I've DEFINITELY been there.
Some light reading.
Oooops.
Don't be a drag.
Pulled.
Sweetie, Sweetie, Sweetie!
Don't worry Pats....I can't do "no fringe" either.
and now......Boobarella!
