Wow! Thank you Script Girl I have never seen #4061 before, what year is it from? Is it right after her wedding? Grace looks so relaxed and happy and she's blond! She looks wonderful.

So glad you like it and appreciate my pics. I believe it is from the early 60s.

LA Times
After the 15th annual Women in Hollywood Awards next Monday night, honorees Nicole Kidman, Salma Hayek, Jane Fonda, Isla Fisher, Halle Berry, Anne Hathaway and Sigourney Weaver will be getting some well-deserved awards.
But that's not all. These actresses and 200 other guests will also leave the Four Seasons dinner with a gift bag containing a hefty new coffee table book, "The Allure of Beauty: Women in Hollywood," created by International jeweler Roberto Coin and Elle magazine.
just got an advance copy of the book and am blown away by the array of past and present actresses and unusual photos.
Included in the book are photos of a languidly prone Julianne Moore, a sexily disheveled Charlize Theron (at left), a beaming Cameron Diaz, a gamine Keira Knightley, a sultry Penelope Cruz, and a playfully intimate shot of Jennifer Aniston.
There are also shots of Hollywood’s earlier beauties such as Joan Crawford, Ann- Margret, Candice Bergen, Rita Hayworth, Grace Kelly, Sophia Loren, Audrey Hepburn, Jane Fonda, Faye Dunaway, Jacqueline Bisset, Shirley MacLaine, Greta Garbo, Natalie Wood, Sharon Tate, Elizabeth Taylor, Ingrid Bergman, Jean Harlow, Kim Novak, Veronica Lake, Audrey Hepburn and Julie Christie.
I particularly love the way some of the photos are arranged to show the striking parallels between actresses from different eras: Julia Roberts and Ann Sheridan, Gwyneth Paltrow and Grace Kelly, a shot of a white-haired Meryl Streep from “The Devil Wears Prada” next to a similar shot of Lana Turner, her white-blond hair framed by black fur.
Great quotes from a breathy Marilyn Monroe, seen in a shot from “Something’s Got to Give:" “I don’t want to make money. I just want to be wonderful.” And a brazen Bette Davis: "From the moment I was 6, I felt sexy. And let me tell you it was hell, sheer hell, waiting to do something about it."
WHAT? I just turned the page and saw Lindsay Lohan, a shot from 2005. Hey, how’d she get in there? Surely not for "I Know Who Killed Me!"
Elle will continue it's homage to Hollywood’s women in the November issue with more photos of Monday's award-winning actresses, taken by Elle’s creative director, Gilles Bensimon.
And I'll be on hand Monday night to give you a blow-by-blow of the mega-glam event.

Monaco - Tax Haven Extraordinaire Part II
Yesterday we spoke about Monaco and I mentioned that historically there's been one drawback to choosing Monaco as your tax haven...
And that drawback is its size.
Monaco is the second-smallest country in the world, so finding affordable real estate has been a serious problem. Property prices rival those in New York and London, with small studio apartments selling in excess of a million euro (US$1.4 million).
But that is about to change with a planned expansion of new terra firma to be carved out of the sea with landfill. It's all part of an ambitious project Monaco is undertaking to extend the size of its land and improve the amount of real property available. This project includes new housing, a museum, and schools on a new island which is rumored to be called "Princess Grace Island," (named for actress Grace Kelly).
It's predicted that the landfill project - due to be completed in 2014 - will add approximately 10 hectares (25.5 acres) of land, or the equivalent of about 13 football stadiums.
The plan is to increase available housing by at least 10% which will mean room for at least another 3,000 people. New hotels are planned to attract the ultra-rich tourists that love to frequent Monaco, mooring their yachts in the harbor and handing off their Aston Martins to a valet at the Monte Carlo casino.
What does this mean for you? Well, it means that living in one of the world's most exclusive tax havens has just gotten a little bit cheaper.

P.S. The Sovereign Society can provide our members with real estate and other professional contacts in Monaco upon request. I also have a chapter on Monaco in both my books, my latest version of The Passport Book, or explore legal tax-saving possibilities offshore in one of my best-selling books

FASHION: The scarf, a cool-weather and French fashion staple, is reinvented by street fashionistas
Share:
By HEATHER TOSKAN
Emma wears her gray fringe cut fur shawl ($198) as a head scarf. The shawl is from rk. (Sue Reeve( Sun Media)
Scarves and shawls are surging in popularity after spending the spring and summer draped around the necks of celebrities, hipsters and everyday folks with an eye for style.
Although the trend may have originated on the street, it's become a designer favourite.
Colourful silk and wool challis head squares tied under the neck are one surefire way to garner attention.
Large head squares in paisley and autumnal floral prints are rustic favourites that pair well with sweaters and also liven up tweed suits and jackets.
Preppy neck squares and smaller kerchief sized versions of the head scarf worn with jeans, slim pants and shift dresses summon the timeless style sense of Audrey Hepburn and Grace Kelly.
"There are several inspiring scarf shapes this fall, including pashminas in bold, electro-inspired colours wrapped and tied around the neck middle Eastern style, long fringed scarves piled on messy, or tied to a handbag for a boho chic look," says Candice Chan, brand director for rk, a chic boutique chain with stores in Toronto and Vancouver, as well as an online boutique (rkstores.com).
The humble scarf could have grown in popularity thanks to the scandal surrounding Food Network host Rachel Ray's decision to wear a black-and-white one.
Super-sized square scarves and pashminas will drape you with both style and warmth when you wear them looped around your neck, knotted at the back and draped down the front.
Long rectangular scarves may also be loosely wrapped about the neck once or twice, or simply allowed to hang and flow freely.
"If you wear your scarf with long flowing ends, the overall effect is flattering as it adds slimming vertical lines to your silhouette," Chan said.
Long flowing scarves and those with dangling fringe also add feminine flow and movement to fall's many haberdash inspired styles.
Soft silky rectangle scarves tied in a loose, floppy bow as shown by DSquared2 offer yet another way to add a frill to knit tops, blouses, vests and jackets.
Whatever type of scarf or shawl you choose, you can be sure to personalize your outfit and enhance your colouring with the patterns and colours that suit you best.
Checked and paisley-patterned scarves in cotton and rayon that appear to reference points Eastmiddle can help to create a boho chic style.
If checks, paisleys and a casual theme aren't your style, there are lots of dressy silk scarves with shiny satin finishes to choose from.
Pleated, crinkled and textured scarves are also popular.
When it comes to pattern, florals, multi-coloured zig zags, checks and animal prints are just the beginning.
"Abstract, art-inspired patterns, classic checks and striped prints are all quick and easy ways to stylishly transform your look." says Laura Shankland, Communications Manager for H&M Canada. On a soft and fuzzy note, real and faux fur collars are in style and fur fringe cut scarves appear to combine both scarf and fur collar trends. Wear them to add a luxurious, warm look to sweaters, coats and jackets as the weather turns cooler.

Dear Manolo:
I've been invited on a fabulous two-week trip to Monaco at the end of October, and I need some shoes. Normally, I'm a high-heel girl, but I'm wondering whether I'll end up hobbling around by the end of the trip. Are there any cute (possibly preppy) mid-heels that are comfy? — Katie
MANOLO SAYS, Ayyyyy! Now is the best time to visit the Principality: The weather is quite pleasant, the summer crowds have left for the season, and Prince Albert is still the balding bachelor on the prowl.
Of the course, if you plan on doing any walking in the city, which is the easiest way to see Monte Carlo, you will need the most comfortable of the shoes.
Indeed, it is difficult to pretend that you are the glamorous Princess Grace Kelly if your feets are feeling like querulous Irish scullery maids after the hard day in the kitchen.
And since it is Monaco, you will also require shoes that have some stylish flair to them.
Thus the Manolo suggests this mid-heel suede cut-out pump with the patent trim from Belle by Sigerson Morrison ($339, Zappos.com) as being something that is, at the same time, feminine, attractive and very practical.

High Noon (1952
Gary Cooper won an Oscar for his portrayal of Marshal Will Kane, the only man in town brave enough to stand up to a band of outlaws. Cooper is outstanding, of course, as is Grace Kelly. The film has long been analyzed and picked over for its greater meaning, and it merits that careful consideration. But it's also just a great out-and-out entertainment as well. Won four Oscars.
