Four Beauties For the Price of One!

To celebrate February 29, Leap Day - which occurs once every four years - here's a picture of four beautiful women from Revlon's "Unforgettable Women" campaign of the 1980s.



Pictured are singer Rosie Vela, model Patti Hansen (married to Keith Richards of the Rolling Stones!), actress/model Rene Russo, and, in a return appearance on this blog, model Beverly Johnson.

Yowsa! :-)

The Beauty of Retrospect, Part Three: Louise Vyent

Here are two more pictures of eighties supermodel Louise Vyent. The first one is from 1989, when she was the black supermodel of the moment. The second is from 2001, proving that age hadn't diminshed her.



And it still hasn't. She still models on occasion.



Mostly, though, Louise Vyent is involved with her new career - that of interior design consultant. A graduate of the Parsons School of Design, she runs her own consulting business, and she lives and works in New Jersey.

The Beauty of Retrospect, Part Three: Beverly Johnson, 1976

Returning to another woman I've featured on this blog, here's Beverly Johnson from 1976.



Doesn't she look hot?? :-D

This picture was derived not from a fashion shoot but from a record sleeve. Seems Mademoiselle Johnson made a disco record back then. :-O

Hey, it was the seventies. . . .

The Real Karen Graham, Part Two :-)

As mentioned earlier on this blog, Karen Graham went from being a supermodel to being a fly-fishing expert, and a well-respected one, too. Truth be told, she's not comfortable with the "glamorous life." Here she is in a recent (if you consider 1999 recent) picture for an Estée Lauder ad for, uh, anti-aging cream.



Here she is in 2006, fly fishng for real.


She's very much in her element. :-)

Karen Graham, 1981

Another Karen Graham photo! Get used to it. :-D



This picture of Miss Graham is from a 1981 Estée Lauder perfume ad. Her soft hair and strapless dress accentuate her beauty greatly.

I don't know what a photograph of Nicholas II, the last czar of Russia, is doing on that table. :-O

Yet Another Karen Graham Photo

I keep finding so many photos of seventies supermodel Karen Graham, I should start a separate Blogger page for them! :-D

This photo is from an Estée Lauder ad for a "sport" perfume, whatever that is. Karen Graham could even make this station wagon look glamorous! :-)

Veronica Webb

Time for another hot VW! And this VW is from Detroit! ;-)



Veronica Webb was born in the Motor City and went to college in New York before going into modeling. She became much more.



While she had a successful stint as a model, becoming the first black supermodel to win an exclusive contract for a major cosmetics company (Revlon), she also became known as a writer and essayist, serving as an editor-at-large of Interview magazine, writing a weekly column on American culture in the Italian news magazine Panorama, and contributing pieces for Details and Elle, among others. The punningly titled Webb Sight, a collection of essays about her experiences in New York, was published in 1998.

Oh yeah, she can act, too. ;-)


Webb, who turns 43 later this month, can currently be seen as a co-host on Bravo's Tim Gunn's Guide To Style.

Actress/model Ines Sastre

Ines Sastre is a Spanish actress and model whose face is one if the many that has appeared in Lancome advertising.



Which is ironic, since, as this black-and-white photo shows, she doesn't need beauty products to be beautiful.



As an actress, she has appeared in films such as Vidocq and The Lost City.

MSNBC anchor Amy Robach

Amy Robach is one of the newer stars among MSNBC's anchorwomen.



Robach joined MSNBC in September of 2003, after having worked as the early morning and noon anchor for WTTG-TV in Washington, D.C. Prior to that, she was a weekend anchor and general assignment reporter for WCBD-TV in Charleston, S.C. Robach is the recipient of many local news awards from here time on local and regional broadcasts.
