Rhia Charles, high class escort in London

Grace Kelly

I went to see the Grace Kelly exhibition at the V&A the other day. Its a collection of the lady’s clothes, hats, jewellery and even sunglasses from the 1940′s until her untimely death in 1982.  I love the 40′s/50′s exhibits, I would definitely wear them now, not too keen on the 1970′s kaftans though unless I am padding around the pad :)

Actually I used to wear 1940′s fashion  – pencil skirts, little veiled hats, seamed silk stockings,  stilettos, that sort of thing when I was 15 – amazes me now actually that I had the gall to do that, you know, when you are not trying to grab attention to yourself.

What a stunning beauty the lady was though, a classical beauty.  My inspirations in the past have been sex goddesses if you like, Marilyn Monroe definitely, coupled with elegance though. Not in your face sexuality, slutty stuff – I know lots of fellas like a good slutty look occasionally. hehe  I got a lot of comments about my last pics – the one with the naughty secretary look and how it was a surprise – I had a bit of devilment in me that day :)

I guess what I am saying is that behind closed doors, well thats all frisky fun and fine, not in public though, not for me. Its for that reason that I am not too keen on the obvious ‘sexy’ look of some of the wanna-be celebs of today. (Yes I am turning into my mother)   A couple of belts to cover your cold bits on a night out?   Eeek!!, brrrrrr, Not for me, but I do admire their guts to do it, and good luck to them.

I have never really thought about ‘my style’ before.  I dont really follow fashion, having my kind of figure pretty much excludes you from a lot of so-called fashion and as Oscar Wilde so very succinctly put it “Fashion is a form of ugliness so intolerable that we have to alter it every six months”.

I have tended to stick to what I think suits me.  I have classical pieces that I have kept for 15 years.  Good clothes dont wear out if you look after them.  What someone like Kate Moss wears would look totally ridiculous on me.   I veer towards classical and elegant but hopefully with a hint at the curves beneath.  I am loving the dress above! I hardly ever wear jeans (a few times a year if it is very cold?), trousers rarely.  I find them deeply uncomfortable.  I prefer my dresses and skirts.  Never short (unless it is inside my place and you have requested it;)  I cant think of anything worse than striding through London with a skirt up around my – well you know what.  I dont like the  unwanted attention you see.

So back to Ms Grace.  I have obviously been aware of her, may have seen a few of her films but I think I will take a closer look.  I ordered ‘High Society’, one of the movie’s she starred in, I think just before she got married; it arrived today.  Yes I like her style, I must try and watch it over the weekend.

Here’s the link for the exhibition if you have a mind to go and see it.
