Born in 1939 in East Prussia as Vera Gottliebe Anna Grafin von Lehndorff-Steinort and enjoyed a wealthy lifestyle residing in East Prussia in a large house on an enormous esate that had been in her family for centuries, Veruschka might have missed her legendary experience as a supermodel across 60s and 70s if the execution to her father for attempting to assassinate Adolf Hitler during WWII never happened. But life doesn't permit the 'if' stuff. That's why we are here to discuss Veruschka - the legendary supermodel dominating late 60s and early 70s.
Veruschka is far from being a pretty face, and 6'1'' is not a proper height to be desirable back then. But the 'go native' style did make her stand out, and more importantly, make her unique. She could stood among jungles - naked, gave a quite Egypt pose in Egyptian desert, played with the waves at the seaside, or just sit down under a tree, or among grasses. Even posing in studio, she gave the photos some artistic feel by making herself sporty.
Quotation
"I dressed all in black and went to see all the top photographers, like Irving Penn, and said, 'I am Veruschka who comes from the border between Russia, Germany and Poland. I'd like to see what you can do with my face.'"

First of all, allow me to say happy birthday to Lilo for her upcoming 23rd birthday on June 2. May she and the on-again off-again girlfriend Samantha Ronson have a happy ending, no matter what obstacles they've met in their relationship, no matter what others said. And May Lilo learn how to love someone, not too push to drive her away, and may Sam, for the sake of love, try to find the truth behind of Lilo's severe behaviors. Life is short, and love should be cherished.
Wherever she is, or wherever her news is, Lilo never fails to rouse argument. I often find fighting words in forums, or gossip website about her fame, or taste on dressing (negative most of the time although). But here, Lindsay Lohan is only a girl embracing her 23rd birthday, seeking the love she has been wanting in childhood but failing to get because of irresponsible parents. Oh I almost forgot, she is also a girl sporting some fabulous style sometimes.

Highly praised for the new hair style, Katie Holmes does look much younger and softer. I myself just have a strong impulse to make a similar one, so tender, so chic, so well to balance the tomboy look I heart. Accompanying with her new hair style, Katie sports a mix and match game - cropped leather jacket blending with a see-through tank.
