Goldie Hawn - MOD Monday
Not too many of our generation knows that actress Goldie Hawn was the MOD 'it girl' back in her heyday, or that she got her big break on the now vintage, no longer in syndication Rowan & Martin's sketch comedy show 'Laugh In'.
Her painted bikini clad body made her a popular staple on the show every week and was considered too much for t.v. back in the late 60's, early 70's. She went on to often portray a bimbo'ish character in her films but that persona is what brought her to star status.
Goldie re-popularized the baby doll mini dress and had a way of making the most simple frock into something fresh and exciting!
Goldie Hawn's daughter, Kate Hudson has definitely followed in her mother's foot steps with her fashion forward persona as well as a vintage vibe that's all her own.

Brigitte Bardot...Sex Kitten Of The 50's & 60's
There were many female celebrities who sparked the 'women's movement' with their overt sense of sexuality and that was way before pop icon Madonna did back in the 50's & 60's & Brigitte Bardot, was most definitely one of them! Born in Paris, France, Brigitte was a voluptuous beauty who's body image had a major impact on fashion.
A neckline style was even named after her...the 'Bardot' which is a wide open neck exposing both shoulders and a whole lot more!
Her early desire was to be a dancer but soon found fame in acting, becoming known world wide after starring in the sexy thriller 'And God Created Woman'. The film pushed censorship boundaries but as usual..sex always sells however, I have to laugh at the idea of 'a torrid tropical dance' being considered as risque considering what we see on the screen nowadays, let alone at home on our own televisions!
Besides the neckline style, Bardot is said to have been solely responsible for the rise in the popularity of the bikini, as well as the vintage beehive hairstyle. She was called 'bikini girl' because pretty much all of the movies she starred in from the beginning had her portraying naughty sex kittens who pranced around in hardly anything! As her career progressed she flashed some B&B (boobs & bunns) quite often and even agreed to do a rape scene.
In her elder years, Brigitte has been in the tabloids on both a positive and negative note. Positive because she's an animal activist and negative because unfortunately this once beautiful woman is a profound racist who was convicted on June 10th 2004 for 'inciting racial hatred'. A true example of how sometimes 'beauty is only skin deep'...

Vintage Beach Beauty Rewind
Back in the 1950's you would not be seeing a thong bikini clad vixen on the beach and if you did she was more than likely going to be arrested for indecent exposure. You would however see women wearing what was more of a 'bathing dress' than a 'bathing suit' & they would accessorize it appropriately with a stylish cover up, full face make up and perfectly coiffed hair. Guess they didn't do much swimming?!
Of course, less was consider more in those days in regards to 'baring skin' & surprisingly we are in the midst of a vintage beach beauty rewind as we are seeing a resurgence of that modest 50's style for Summer 2011. Designer Michael Kors suits are making big waves especially when accessorized with chic shades and wide brimmed hats.
I particularly love designer Betsey Johnson's fun & flirty take on this retro swimwear style that makes you think 'pin up' girl sexy!
It's no mystery that we live in a society that leaves 'little to the imagination' in regards to pretty much anything these days so what's wrong with backing it up a little bit and attempting to revive the jive of the simpler days?
