For the most part, I do my best to eschew celebrities on the blog. There’s enough blah-blah-blah out there without me adding to the mix here. I do, however, have my icons. People who transcend fame and have a particular meaning to me. Just like the scent of a frangipani can transplant me back to my life in Singapore or Papua New Guinea or Cameroon, these people conjure memories of things past. I like to call it nostalgia personified. Forgive the indulgence.
David Bowie and Bette Midler (with Tom Waits)
Diane Keaton and Woody Allen (in Annie Hall, informing my dress sense to this day)
Yves Saint Laurent and Pierre Bergé
Robert Redford and Meryl Streep
Paul Newman and Joanne Woodward
I realise this is quite an eclectic mix – and there are still lots of people missing – but that’s the nature of Pinterest. I pin who I’m come across. I don’t go searching. In other words, it’s a work in progress.
There are more of my iconic finds here.
