Say It Really Loud: "2014"

Embrace it, yell it all at once, then let's not forget that everyone will be a year older in 2014, not just you. Remember what I said about being the original? Yes, I can't say it enough, yet nobody is perfect, even as we begin a new year, everybody must reach into the past and copy from someone to learn what works and what doesn't.

Case in point, at first glance, I thought this was a young Bo Derek:




Nope, it is a photo of the original, Sharon Tate. She was the first beach beauty, the object of one man's obsession, that leads to disillusionment, when he finds out she is a bit shallow, with no real personality, self-involved...like the movie character Bo Derek portrayed in "10". But Sharon did it first...in a little movie called "Don't Make Waves" [1967]. Remember that when you need to pick and choose from the past, the so-called goddesses of the silver screen only copied what worked in the past...everything is circular, except you. Move forward with style in 2014.

More of the spectacular Sharon Tate. Who knows what she could have accomplished further in her career, we know Bo Derek was stuck in pornography, where you are only known for your looks, and are shelved by the time you are 30. No I am not rude or a prude, but the copycat rarely makes it that big in show business and must resort to the D-List circuit. Sharon was on her way to being a wonderful screen personality, not only known for her good looks. 






Sharon Tate even had a Barbie created from her character "Malibu" from the movie "Don't Make Waves", yes, Malibu Barbie was Sharon Tate. How many actresses can claim that? Probably no one but Sharon, the original beach beauty.

Yes, you can have both, style and brains, if you take this blogger's advise, but, hey, who cares, right? Another year older, another year wiser? Who said that anyway?
