Etta James: At Last

Sunday 2nd March 2008 12:16 in Human Relations, Music, Society

Etta James’ classic song put perfectly to excerpts from the film Funny Face, which was made in 1957, when women were ladies and men were gentlemen. Note for example how Audrey Hepburn is elegant, wears dresses and is not drinking, smoking, marching, swearing or putting up a cold front. She is contra all the recommendations of odious and damaging programmes such as Sex & the City and has, instead, a certain innocence and warmth, and a slight vulnerability, which is highly attractive to men. Fred Astaire wears a hat and treats her with the respect and kindness she accordingly deserves.

I dedicate this to my beautiful girlfriend, who is like Audrey Hepburn but even more female (!) and who I would not exchange for the starlet or anybody else.
