Diamonds in the Sky

Though I may not have been an avid follower of her career or cinematic achievements,I was sad to hear the news about Elizabeth Taylor. She was a flawless style icon in the golden age of film.It was her timeless beauty and the Grace Kelly-esq radiance of her youth that appealed to me.I liked her intense love of diamonds and fine jewellery, her vanity for jewels was never about owning the jewels themselves, rather about appricaiting the beauty of them as Taylor once said 'I adore wearing gems, but not because they are mine. You can't possess radiance, you can only admire it'.

One Elizabeth Taylor inspired images which I had on my bedroom wall throughout university was the Lindsay Lohan POP magazine cover circa 2007. I enjoy this image as it celebrates both Elizabeth Taylor at her best and Lindsay Lohan at her best. I like the pop art element, the richness in colour and the choice of images that POP decided to run. Elizabeth Taylor unarguably impacted this POP shoot which I list in my top favourite magazine covers to date, and for that I am grateful.
