santa baby…marylin or audrey?

“only simplicity and the truth count…” – a. hepburn.

a great quote. fitting for this time of year especially.

im reading a fabulous book right now. “the audrey hepburn treasures - pictures & momentos of a life of style and purpose.”
at age 11 i fell in love with one of miss holly golightly, audreys character in “breakfast at tiffanys”

it almost obnoxious to see how marylin monroe and audrey hepburn have been somewhat brought back to life for a younger generation -- under the same category as glamour girls from old hollywood. this book especially helped me see the stark contrast. of course, nothing taken away from marlyin but – lets just say id rather be a princess di over a madonna anyday.

throughout the book, tucked between pages are what appear to be very real (pull out)replicas of anything ranging from her WWII national ID given to her by the Germans to her first acting contract with Jack Hylton LTD in london.

the cherry on top? this fantastic find donates a portion of the book sales to audreys children fund which helps children all over the world. for a peek into the legend order your copy today!

and santa? id pick audrey. hands down.
