What REALLY Becomes a Legend Most

This is part one of my story of legends -- here's a little background. Judy stopped by last week and was ever so kind to drop off a the "What Becomes A Legend Most" book. This is a famous ad campaign from the 70's and 80's for a mink coat company called Blackglama. I told her I had my grandmother's mink coat left over from Katie's wedding and she started to pull out her point and shoot camera for a for a picture of me in the coat for her Blackglama collection.

Of course I wasn't going to let her just get a snapshot when there was Natalie Wood, Joan Crawford, Gloria Swanson and Audrey to compete with! This would require some planning and LOTS of peer pressure. Not to mention I have been bugging Cindy to have Whitney take a Miley Cyrus-esque picture.

So, armed with Judy's book, a mink coat and a couple of girlfriends (Cindy and Emily), we headed on over to Whitney's for a great night of girlishness. Let's just say Whitney's husband, John, was too afraid to come down stairs while we were "working" and opted to use his cell phone for all necessary communications through out the evening.

It was more fun than I even imagined it would be. Whitney is still working on the pictures so you will have to wait for the final results. In the meantime, here is an introduction to something that fascinated me as a child. It took a long time for me to clue into the play on words of what "becomes" a legend most.


I hope to post some of our pictures in a few days. Don't expect Audry, but it will still be good! Thanks to Judy for the book. Thanks to Whitney (especially Whitney), Cindy and Emily for the crazy fun and Grandma Zina for the mink. We are all legends.
