Qui qu'a vu Coco?

Another Birthday Babe!

Coco Chanel.

How does one describe how important

she was and still is in this world?

Words cannot express.

So here's a birthday shout out

to this beautiful, brilliant woman!

"A girl should be two things: classy and fabulous."

"Fashion fades, only style remains the same."

"Success is often achieved by those who don't

know that failure is inevitable."

"In order to be irreplaceable one must always be different."

-------

Also, it just so happens that the September issure of Glamour gave

a little tribute of their own, in which they listed a few interesting

facts on Coco:

"The interlocking C's don't just stand for Coco Chanel.

They're also the combined initials of Chanel and her lover 'Boy' Capel, who

died in a car accident..."

"To build mystique for Chanel No. 5, Chanel would give the fragrance

to notable women, then claim she didn't have anymore - increasing the

demand for it."

"Chanel...is credited with raising hemlines, loosening waistlines and

popularizing tans."

"Chanel's real first name was Gabrielle; 'Coco' came from her

days as a cabaret performer, and the song 'Qui qu'a vu Coco dans I'Trocadero?'

('Who's seen Coco in the Trocadero?')"

And I bring to you said song here:



Ont une merveilleuse journée!
