Norman Jean Roy , a native born of Montreal can give you a photo to grab you (it only takes 5 to 6 seconds to get your attention for a photo)! In my point of view, if you study his photos, there is always the emphasis of the subject’s eyes.  Though numerous  shots may be taken, the one that he selects always shows captivating eyes!  He also has a wonderful life story on becoming a photographer; it will inspire you.  Please read his bio steps in Vogue®, by clicking this –> NORMANJEANROY.

My Audrey Hepburn Moment!!!! In Love With Her all Over Again!

For four days, I was forced to stay home and relax!  Advised by my doctors to “Don’t Move”!  With a pulled muscle in my knee and minor eye surgery, I had no choice!!!! 🙂

So what do you do?  While becoming completely bored within 2 hours and not interested in watching any Reality TV; I’d remembered I received a DVD gift box of a few of Audrey Hepburn’s movies.  So, I got my wine, brie cheese, grapes and crackers; with my favorite blanket and placed the first DVD to play!!

This is where it all began! What?  The re-introduction to the beautiful Audrey Hepburn!  What a treat I had, a brilliant actress with her smile and deep alluring eyes!

Whether it was drama, funny, laughing or not saying a word, her craft and charm was evident on the screen.  I’ve always loved her style, no wonder she was a designer’s dream – she was a key ingredient to FASHION.  If a designer didn’t include her or even consider her for their designs, the designer was considered STUPID!!!!!

In four days <I played Sabrina 2x, Breakfast at Tiffany’s 2x too!>, I finished all the movies and Audrey is still resonating in my head.

Today, I am out and about; feeling well rested and seeing clearly…. I wore a  black sheath dress with double-stranded pearls and my patent leather shoes <low pencil heel with a pointed toe, being smart>!!!!!  Looking fabulous!!!

 ” My look is attainable. Women can look like Audrey Hepburn by flipping out their hair, buying the large sunglasses, and the little sleeveless dresses.” Audrey Hepburn

I don’t know if any of you have ever had an Audrey Hepburn moment lately such as I! If yes, please share!   🙂

Come to think of it, I guess she’s always been there in my mind, however the four days spent with her (like a dear friend who stopped by); just gave me a reminder!!!   Love  you dearly, Audrey Hepburn!

I can go on and on! Really, I can!!!!!!!!!

A humanitarian, actress, singer and so, so, much more!  Interested in Audrey Hepburn’s bio, here’s a wonderful resource, click Voguepedia
