Probably the greatest love story of the 20th century, made all the more remarkable by the fact that she was a plain woman but obviously very stylish. I was lucky to see the exhibition of her famous jewelry when it was auctioned off at Sothebys.
If I could have any pearls, it would be the set of these 2 South Sea necklaces and pearl drop that was all bought by Calvin Klein.  |

Have you guys read "Famous Last Words" by Timothy Findley. The book paints a really bad picture of the two, or at least just Wallis.

She dressed very uniquely-- and I think it was cool!

I've always thought that supermodel Yasmin Le Bon resembles the Duchess of Windsor.

Timeless elegance, she had.
I love the way the designers reinvented her style for the 21st century.

Gah, this woman was deplorable!
 I read somewhere she was trained in the east by postitutes. She must of been fantastic in bed to snag Edward VIII. Last edited by Retro : 09-04-2007 at 01:33 AM. |
