Celebrity Monday - Elizabeth Taylor

I have been putting this post off for a long time...but as next november we'll have one more Elizabeth Taylor Barbie doll I think it's already time. To be honest I didn't know where to start, she is too much of responsibility...How can I put in words someone who I never met, heard about her as a kid as I have the same name as hers, but have such respect that it's impossible to present in one post the magnitude of women she was.

It wasn't easy for me to pick her pictures, not only because there are so many, but her beauty was so stunning that I couldn't be happy with my last choice as looking to the next one.

Oh well, on my simple word, let's start.

 "Dame Elizabeth Rosemond "Liz" Taylor, DBE (February 27, 1932 – March 23, 2011) was a British-born American^[2] actress. From her early years as a child star with MGM, she became one of the great screen actresses of Hollywood's Golden Age. As one of the world's most famous film stars, Taylor was recognized for her acting ability and for her glamorous lifestyle, beauty and distinctive eyes." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elizabeth_Taylor

She was called the most beautiful woman of the world and Mattel couldn't let it go making this stunning doll with a fantastic sculpt face in a exact violet shade for her eyes, fine glitter eyeshadow and a heavy eyeliner. A true replica of Elizabeth's 1963 Cleopatra performance.
