Lil' Blonde Darling: Angelyne!

Blonde Beauty Icon Angelyne

This is definitely what you would call an "LA Blonde"! Behold the epic blonde glaMOUR of Angelyne! An "actress" and "model", she's been an LA fixture since the early 80's, when a series of handbills baring her photo started to appear around the city. She soon transitioned to huge billboards, paid by, in her words "investors" which became a Hollywood pop culture landmark. She can often be spotted around Hollywood, driving in her pink Corvette with vanity license plates reading "ANGLYNE", and toting around her pink Maltese dog, Buddah. She even ran for California Governor in 2003!! Her slogan during the campaign was "We’ve had Gray (Gov. Gray Davis), we’ve had Brown (Gov. Jerry Brown), now it’s time for some blond and pink." Calling herself a real-life Barbie doll, she is usually only seen wearing shades of pink, something that was lampooned for the character Vylette, in the 1999 film Jawbreaker. Yes, she is over the top BUT you have to admire her complete and total commitment to her look. She is never seen not "done"....and of course I have to applaud her on the shameless self promotion! Shwerk!

I mean?!

Pose!

subtle

Definitely a vintage Frederick's Lucite marabou mule!

Lil' Blonde Darling: Sybil Danning

Blonde Beauty Icon Sybil Danning

Oh dear god. Sybil Danning is the LOOK! She was an actress who starred in a string of 70's/80's B-movies, fantasy/sci-fi and action films. Some of the cinematic classics she starred in include Battle Beyond the Stars as an extraterrestrial Amazon named Saint-Exmin, Howling II: Your Sister is a Werewolf as Stirba, an evil werewolf queen, Reform School Girls as a sadistic women's prison warden and as Amazon Queen Lara in Amazon Women on the Moon. She did most of her own stunts and fight scenes, was always scantily clad in a plethora of sci-fi, barbarian chic looks....and of course lot's of leather and thigh high boots. WIN TOWN.

Girls and guns. Oh and tits,

I would wear this.

PeTA won't like this....but I do. This hair is the LOOKSIE!!

THIS!

VERY Debbie Harry

Nothing is better in life than feathered hair and a leather jumpsuit.

Just a casual day look. Sheer black hosiery....get into it!

Nefertiti from Space!

Fantasy!

WOW!

Guns and glaMOUR!

Was this her Sheena audition?

Sadistic prison guards are always the look.

Barbarian chic.

Just a quick tiger leotard.

Rambo.

FREEZE!

Lil' Blonde Darling: Goldie Hawn in Overboard!

Blonde Beauty Icon Goldie Hawn in Overboard

Oh, how I loved this movie as a kid! The looks Goldie Hawn served as rich bitch Joanna Stayton in the 1987 comedy Overboard will always be with me! The plot revolves around a wealthy, uptight woman who accidently falls off her yacht and develops amnesia. She spends most of the movie believing she's a poor, white trash housewife with a wardrobe to match...so the real highlight is the first 20 min. Oh, but what a glorious 20 min it is! Goldie features the most offensive naughty nautical garments; sequined sailor jackets, french-cut bathing suits, glitzy hair accessories, bedazzled sunglasses, jewels, diamonds, glaMOUR, slut, tart, whore, love. These are the only outfits to be worn on a cruise. Thank you.

Kunt.

Just a subtle housecoat.

This!

Never forget your broach!

Can we discuss the size of that cordless phone?!

bejeweled!

All hats should have braided weave attached.

A cigarette holder is a must!

poof!

Lounging in style!

Lil' Blonde Darling: Farrah Fawcett!

Blonde Beauty Icon Farrah Fawcett

1947-2009

Today is the one year anniversary of Farrah Fawcett's untimely death. What better way to pay my respects than to celebrate her contribution to the wonderful world of haircare and glamOUR?! She was discovered in 1968, during her sophomore year at college, when a Hollywood publicist saw her photo in a "Ten Most Beautiful Coeds" pictorial in Cashbox magazine. She quickly moved from Texas to LA and began a modeling career, appearing in numerous TV commercials and print ads including Noxzema shaving cream, Wella Balsam shampoo and the 1975 Mercury Cougar. She quickly began accepting acting roles, playing supporting roles on TV shows like I Dream of Jeannie and The Six Million Dollar Man (which starred her then husband Lee Majors).

She is of course most fondly remembered for her role as the glamorous private detective Jill Munroe on Charlie's Angels. Jill was the sporty and athletic Angel, and spent most episodes running around LA in tight t-shirts, no bra with very....er.....protrusive nipples! Farrah's nipples caused such a scandal on network television that the wardrobe department was instructed to cover them with tape. Even more popular than her perky nips was her iconic feathered hairstyle, which women across the world copied en masse. In years prior, women's hairstyles were either meticulously styled and shellacked with hairspray or ironed stick straight and parted down the middle. When Farrah appeared on the scene, there were wings and layers and "effortless" movement; it always seemed like she had a high powered fan pointed at her at all times!

Farrah shocked the world (and producer Aaron Spelling) when she abruptly quit the series after only one season. An intense legal battle ensued and as part of her settlement, Farrah was forced to return for six guest appearances over seasons three and four of the series. She went on to star in films and TV movies of the week, but she will ALWAYS be Jill to me! ♥
