Is there anyone who can compare? Angelina Jolie seems to be walking in her footsteps don’t you think? But there can never be another with the character and gentleness that is reflected in that beautiful face … “the look” can be as she says … “attainable” …. but not the person and not the beautiful soul within …. from suffering and pain true beauty is born .. but the really beautiful thing is to keep the faith and hope when it so much easier to just give up on people and the world in general. For the person who created this website .. thank you. For all the young ones who are inspired by her graciousness and beauty … you are yourself beautiful.

To make up for my extended absences, here’s a little something for the ladies: an Audrey Hepburn 50s makeup guide, complete with an elfin Audrey look-alike model! Enjoy, and be sure to try it out on yourself sometime soon. Thick black eyeliner’s back in, ya know.

You can see Audrey’s page in the list here, and view the competition in general here.

Experiment with all four! I’m sure one of these will end up being your new favourite style.

This, coupled with previous posts on how to get Holly Golightly’s hair, her sleep mask, and how to be Holly Golightly, should send you well on your way to being truly obsessed.

There’s another great video of Audrey up, this one found by lovely reader MaDoNnA4L. It’s an interview Audrey did with Phil Donahue in 1990, and Miss M says: “It is so wonderful to see her in a light atmospehere, laughing with the audience and having fun discussing her handsome costars and her current boyfriend, Robert Wolders. It also has very touching moments where Audrey discussed her time in the war as well as her father leaving.” Watch for yourself and see! All four parts are below:

San Diego’s recently renovated North Park Theatre will be running a film festival called “Fabulous Faces of the Fifties.” Audrey is, of course, one of those fabulous faces, and if you’re in the area, Roman Holiday will be playing January 11-14. For more information, go here.

At the end of this month — December 29, to be exact — the Paramount in Ashbury Park will be playing My Fair Lady. They’re actually going to be showing quite a few good movies this month, including Cabaret, so if you’re in the New Jersey area, definitely check it out.

Next up, I’d been looking for some Audrey-related crafty goodness to share, but there aren’t many really good things to share. I did, however, find a stencil website with some good Audrey stencils free for the taking, so if you want to add a little Audrey to your walls, t-shirts, or the sidewalk*, click here.

*Note: we don’t condone grafitti here at Fab Audrey, but we are based in a city where grafitti is held as a valid artform, and Audrey stencils are found throughout the city. So if you live in an open-minded place where public works of art on public property are treated as such, then it’s your call.

And speaking of stencils, have you always wanted Audrey’s thick, exotic eyebrows but were unsure of how to go about it? Never fear, there are eyebrow stencils for that! With the stencil, you can either brush in dark powder to darken light brows, pencil in brows in a particular shape, or use the stencil as a plucking guide to shape your brows. Here is the page with Audrey’s stencil and the Sabrina-era picture of her which inspired the shape, and the bottom of the page has a link to directions on how exactly this thing works. It’s not a bad idea, actually!

Speaking of thick eyebrows, Edie Sedgwick and the upcoming film about Edie, Factory Girl, has been popping up a lot lately in conjunction with Audrey. If you’re not familiar with Andy Warhol and his art and the Factory, this might take some explaining, but you’re better off just doing some quick reading and coming back. So Factory Girl is about Edie’s work with Andy Warhol and her supposed relationship with Bob Dylan, which he denies to this day, though he is renamed in the film for fear of being sued — which is happening anyway. While I still don’t know a whole lot about Edie, she was compared a lot to Audrey in her day and even now, with people saying that Edie had Audrey’s vulnerability and charm. If this makes you curious about Edie or the film, I definitely encourage you to learn more. You can read a little more at the IMDb page for the film, which even references Holly Golightly, and you can see the trailer here.
