RARE vintage's Saturday Total Utter Ridiculous Fabulousness #3! Diana Vreeland

"Give them what they never knew they wanted." Diana Vreeland

Did you know that you wanted a 1920s gold tipped ivory cigarette holder that fully extended measures 14 inches?  No, nor I.  Until I saw...

and then I saw...

Cecil Beaton's portrait of Vreeland painted with said cigarette holder.

RARE vintage's Saturday Total, Utter, Ridiculous Fabulousness is Diana Vreeland's cigarette holder which will be up for auction June 25th at Kerry Taylor auctions in England.  Electronic ciggie anyone??!

RARE vintage's Saturday Total Utter Ridiculous Fabulousness #2! Salvador Dali

I recently saw a woman wearing what I initially thought was a Lanvin lip brooch

BUT on a closer look it turned out to be way better then a Lanvin costume jewelry brooch.  It turned out to be a Salvador Dali lip brooch - rumored to be based on Mae West's - or was it Marilyn Monroe's - pouty mouth.  It was a gift from her husband and I am not dropping any hints here but if my husband is reading this...

RARE vintage's totally utterly ridiculously fabulous Saurday #2 is a Salvador Dali ruby and pearl lip brooch (sooo much better then the Lanvin version don't you think?!):
