this little bird


Though I admire many talented ladies who found fame during the sixities, Marianne Faithfull is my favorite beauty icon of all time. Aside from having the most beautiful profile ever (those lips!) and gorgeous hair which I would gladly trade at least two of my limbs for, her sixties pop starlet wardrobe was/is to die for. Honestly, I get envious just looking at these photos.

I feel like you may already have been told this...but her autobiography is a must-read! I hear she's writing (has written?) a second one as well, but I can't speak to that (yet!)

What a character! I've only got her greatest hits, i love how her voice has changed so much over time as well. She's a lady with a lot of stories, i must read more about her! She lived in the shell cottage on the grounds of Castletown House in Co. Kildare for a few years in the late sixties I believe, when she was seeing mick jagger x
