Farewell to an Icon of Class and Style



This morning I am saddened by the passing of Hollywood legend Lauren Bacall. Her death represents the end of Hollywood’s Golden era as she was the last of the big stars from that time to leave us.

Was she really just 19 then? Was she ever really just 19?
 
She began her movie career at the age of 19. It seems strange watching her in that first film ‘To Have and Have Not’. She never looked like she was EVER nineteen years old. She always carried herself as a woman much more mature. And yet as we see kids who grow up too fast, we often see them as rough, crude, and often out of control. Lauren never was crude. Rough maybe as in ‘rough and tough’ but never rough around the edges. Nor was there ever a person who seemed more in control of herself at all times.

She was not just mature beyond her years she was class, style, and grace beyond those years as well. Some people are just born with these traits, while the rest of us can only aspire and work toward them.


What a dream of class, grace, style, and woman power.
 The way she walked and carried herself just spoke volumes about confidence and fearlessness. From all I have read, she was the same way off screen as she was on it. This was a woman from whom each of us could learn things. Certainly she was in many ways the kind of real life woman many of us would love to love and serve.

We will miss you Mighty Lioness!

She was a real lioness and she will be surely missed.

  1. Yes, thank you for publishing this tribute.

    Never Crude, class and style, carried her self like a woman.

    This is excitably the type of conversation we are having on femdom 101.

    You have succeeded in making me feel guilty for not have mentioning this great lady on my blog.

    Thank you sweetie.


    Love, Kathy

    1. Thank You for your kind words Ma'am.

      Paying tribute to elegant, assertive ladies feels very natural to me yet I feel in a way unworthy of the privilege at times. Your efforts in thanking me have made me feel better about this.

      Love and Respect,

    2. "You have succeeded in making me feel guilty..."

      Forgive me Ma'am.

      If there is some form of "Corrective Action" that you feel is appropriate for this lapse on my part, I would be honored to make myself available to you...

      ;)

      Love and Respect,

  2. She exuded independence from men. The sexuality she projected was on her own terms.
