Wardrobe envy: Kay Francis

I generally assume that, were I around in the Thirties, I would probably be Claudette Colbert. She’s now facing some tough competition from the gorgeous Hollywood clothes-horse Kay Francis. Mainly for her wardrobe, but I love her hair as well.

Pencil them in, pencil them thin

Sadly, I have no choice. I was not blessed with luxuriant, Audrey Hepburn-style eyebrows. Mine have always been sparse, so I have to choose my eyebrow heroines with this in mind. I rarely go to such extremes as shown here, but I do have to tame the few stragglers and pencil them in a bit. It’s a bit strange to have such thick dark hair on your head, then have the eyebrows of a mousey-person. Sigh.

My new favourite photo. I love Claudette anyway, and here she’s reigniting my desire to dress up like a Pierrot.

She’s sailing a bit close to the wind though. You can almost see the right side of her face….that will never do!
