Elizabeth Taylor
In keeping with Talli Roland’s launch day dress up to celebrate her new book Watching Willow Watts - and Talli looks totally Marilylicious as Monroe - I’ve decided I want to be the great screen actress Elizabeth Taylor for the day.
I wanted to be Elizabeth when as a pony-crazy child, I saw her in the fabulous movie National Velvet. Then I wanted to be her again when she sizzled on the silver screen as Cleopatra and met the gorgeous Richard Burton, whom she later married, twice!
Apparently, when Richard first saw Elizabeth in 1952, he said of her: "She was unquestionably gorgeous. I can think of no other word to describe a combination of plentitude, frugality, abundance, tightness. She was lavish. She was a dark unyielding largesse. She was, in short, too bloody much...."
Wow!!
Today is the official launch day of Watching Willow Watts and Talli has lots of fun and links and pwizzes to be won on her blog today. Yay!
So this is the link to Talli’s Blog

Perfect choice, Janice/Elizabeth - she was gorgeous. Bet she gave RB a run for his money!

Nice to see you both here - have a great day.
Hi Jayne & Sarah - yes, she was stunning wasn't she? The photo is from the 1950's era - before I was born - but that's how I like to remember her and that quote from RB really is a sizzler isn't it?!!
Thanks Francine - yes, her eyes are amazing - and are those brows for real do you think...???
Thanks Gina, Rosemary & Hilary - great to see you - and midweek too!
Please do pop by on Friday to read my guest Kenneth Rosenberg's facinating post - in which he is asking for some honest writing based opinions from UK readers. Not to be missed!

I loved Elizabeth Taylor in "Cat On A Hot Tin Roof", "Butterfield" and "Taming of the Shrew" to name but a few. She was a true beauty.
Hope you are enjoying the launch party as much as I am.
Awesome. She was so pretty.
Fab! We would have made a great day, you as Elizabeth Taylor and me as Scarlet O'Hara...thanks too for stopping by my Blog.... frankly my dear I do give a damn... laugh!
Great choice and such a beautiful woman. I wouldn't mind looking like her too, in her youth of course.
She really was stunning, and a great actress. Good choice.
I'm a big fan of Elizabeth Taylor's work, she was an incredible actress. Fantastic choice!
I'd love to have her beauty and her talent, but her love life was a little too tumultuous for me :-)
Wonderful choice. She was such a fantastic actress.
Great choice! This launch is so much fun, I'm glad to have discovered your blog. :)
She has always been the pinnacle oe beauty. Great choice!
So nice to meet you, Janice. Aaahhh, Liz for a day, a paramount moment of life (but then you have to put up with all those husbands, too)
