I have to agree with Westsound Modern on the most gorgeous woman ever born, but then I am brunette biased. It doesn’t get anymore perfect than the talented Elizabeth Taylor. He wins the best taste award of the month.
Best writing of the month gets a split. Short story goes to Andy, who wraps those words up tight. Gerard Vanderleun kills the genre with his usual genius in A Horseman Passing By. I want to write like these men some day. I so admire how they bend the words into something near perfect. I feel when I read their wordsmithing. That’s a true gift worth possessing.
Gordon nailed best video today, with a mesmerizing piece of beauty.
I have wanted to punch people in the throat all week, these guys have kept me sane.
You look like her Daphne. From the pics I’ve seen.
Liz was fine for a short while, for the long haul, Audrey Hepburn killed the competition. Classy, beautiful woman throughout her entire career.
Very nice, thanks.

I’m certain I’ll be skewered, but I must confess to being a Rita Hayworth man. Not to deny Ms. Taylor’s beauty, of course.
Thanks for the link to Gerard’s story. I’d love to do what that horseman is doing.
Suzanne Pleshette. She stayed beautiful all of her years… there was no “beautiful period” and then decline. She had that elusive “Inner Beauty” thang, too.
For those of you slightly more interested in Elizabeth Taylor’s anatomy—-take note of her left arm. That backward bend of her elbow is another distinctive feature that separates the boys from the girls. It explains why girls throw a ball like, well—a girl.
Id have to agree, Liz Taylor in Cat on a Hot Tin Roof, beyond beautiful, with Grace Kelly during her Hitchcock period running a close second.
She is very striking. Brunettes are cool, my fatal weakness is for redheads. I think it must be the inner Viking!
[...] Living is Just Over the Horizon. Daphne at Jaded Haven thinks the talented Elizabeth Taylor is the Cream of the Crop! Paco prefers Ginny Simms, crooning “I’m Like a Fish Out of Water.” And Instapundit links to [...]
I kind of have to agree with the hostess. Elizabeth Taylor had it all, and she had it for quite a long time. Hayworth, Audrey, Grace and Suzanne–all worthy contenders, true. But Liz grabs my eyes like none other.
And thank you for the nomination! I haven’t seen the pictures, so I’ll just put a face of my choosing to the words.
What a problem – choosing between the various types of female beauty. Like chooisng different kinds of drink or food, a chore worth lingering over.
I liked Liz’s violet eyes.
Little old ladies used to tell me that I looked like a redheaded Rita Hayward- apparently she was redhaired but also dyed her hair blonde sometimes. Of course these same little old ladies were all senile as hell and wore those cataract glasses so I didn’t give it much credence.
Laura, if you like Rita, I may have to move to South Carolina…
She’s a classy hotty, Buckskin.
I am very, very slightly brunette biased and I can’t argue with your choice. (It’s such a weak bias it’s hardly worth mentioning, I’ve seen women of all hair and skin colors I thought were beautiful .. but if I HAD to pick … ) Others off the top of my head … I think Gene Tierney is certainly up there, along with Ann Margaret — and young Suzanne Pleschette is often overlooked. And of course … Susan Hayward.
Deborah … one of my favorite lines from any movie … one of those pygmalion movies, I think it was “She’s All That”. Beach ball or something lands near the lead actress while she’s reading on the beach, she gets up and throws it back to them.
“You throw like a girl!”
“Uh, I AM a girl.”
Or maybe it was “you run like a girl”. Maybe we’d better have a better look at Liz’s legs. ;-)
Liz is lovely, but Sophia Loren …
