When I see the fashion in the streets these days, it reminds me of seeing the fashion in between 50s and 60s. The bell bottoms worn in the times of Beatles, Bee Gees and all was seen as a fashion sometime earlier. The CAT-EYE makeup is so in these days and also the BEE-HIVE hairstyles. So I was just thinking of some ladies in the old times that were fashionistas and the one name that came to my mind was AUDREY HEPBURN. I have just seen her in movies and shows but what I saw and read of her, I surely say that she is a magnificent beauty of all times. So this blog of mine is dedicated to Audrey Hepburn.
Audrey Hepburn (born Audrey Kathleen Ruston; 4 May 1929 – 20 January 1993) was a British actress and humanitarian. she was recognised as both a film and fashion icon.

She was born in Ixelles, a district of Brussels, Belgium. Before she became an actress, she was a trained dental assistant. She survived the World War II with lots of hardship. It was also during this time that she learnt ballet at the Arnhem Conservatory. It was later after the war ended in 1945, Audrey's family moved to Amsterdam where she learnt ballet for three more years. Her film career started when she appeared for the first time as stewardess in "Dutch in seven lessons". Her tall height of 5.7' and poor nutrition due to the war kept her from becoming a prima ballerina. It was after this rejection that she decided to go with the career of acting. I remember watching her movie 'Sabrina" for the first time and she was a paradox of beauty. She was conscious about her looks and more importantly her feet which were size 10. She became a fashion icon with her way of carrying out outfits, shoes and looks. The little black dress that she wore at the 'Breakfast at Tiffany's" was sold at an auction for USD 920,000.00 in 2006 (shown in the picture).
I love going through her quotes and I want to share some of my favorites here.

Nice post and yeah welcome back to blogging world.

ReplyDeleteMODERN DAY-APOSTLES?
ReplyDeleteSome claim that there are apostles alive and well, living among us. Is that fact or fiction?
QUESTION: What purpose would modern day apostles serve?
QUESTION: If there are apostles today, why do they not mirror the acts of the apostles of the first century?
Acts 2:43 Everyone kept feeling a sense of awe; and many wonders and signs were taking place through the apostles.
Are people being filled with awe by the so-called modern day apostles? If that were true it would be on every TV network. It would dominate the cable TV channels. The Internet would flooded with accounts of these so-called modern day apostles.
ACTS OF THE FIRST CENTURY APOSTLES
The apostle Paul cause the magician Elymas to be temporarily blinded.(Acts 13:8-12)
Are the so-called contemporary apostles causing men to go blind? No.
The apostle Peter brought Tabitha back from the dead. (Acts 9:36-41)
Are the 21 century pretend-apostles bring people back from the dead? No. If they could bring men back from the dead they would invite TV crews into funeral homes, to witness their miracles.
The apostle Peter predicted the immediate death of Sapphira. (Acts 5:1-11)
Can the false modern day apostles predict the immediate death of people who lie to God? Of course they cannot.
The apostle Peter immediately healed a lame man who had been lame from birth. (Acts 3:1-10)
If these so-call modern day apostles could heal men who were lame from birth it would on every, nightly, TV news broadcast.
THE SIGNS OF AN APOSTLE
2 Corinthians 12:12 The signs of a true apostle were performed among you with all perseverance, by signs and wonders and miracles.
The so-called modern day apostles are missing the signs of a true apostle. Be careful not to get detoured down the wrong road by following false sign makers.
WE DO NOT NEED SO-CALLED MODERN DAY APOSTLES!
We have the completed Bible. We have all the information we
need for salvation and living the Christian life. God's word was confirmed by Jesus and the apostles of the first century.
2 Timothy 3:15-17 and from childhood you have know the scared writings which are able to give you the wisdom that leads to salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus. 16 All Scripture is inspired by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, for training in righteousness; 17 so that the man of God may be adequate, equipped for every good work.
By A.D. 100 men had all the Scripture they needed for salvation and living the Christian life.
WE HAVE THE RECORDED WORD OF GOD. THE BIBLE.
WE DO NOT NEED SO-CALLED MODERN DAY APOSTLES!
