Sophia Loren and how she handled criticism about her looks

sophia loren in fishnet pantyhose

I came across a book on the internet called “Being a goddess for your man” and there was an interesting reference to Sophia Loren there to demonstrate how a true lady can handle herself in a classy and calm way even in the most provoking situation.

 

At a press-conference, a journalist started to publicly criticize Sophia’s outfit, but such behavior didn’t make her uncomfortable. She politely said to him that it is entertaining to see a movie critic pay so much attention to a piece of fabric rather than the film itself. Sophia Loren asked him to tell the audience if everything is alright with his intimate life because he is so focused on her pantyhose.

 

This heckler was silenced and Sophia Loren demonstrated once again the power of her femininity.

P.S. Thank you to Nikolaj from Germany for supplying me with a whole gallery of Sophia Loren photos. I am going to keep on releasing them on social media and for future articles.

Fantastic Visit to Wolford Boutique on Rodeo Drive, Los Angeles

Wolford store on Rodeo drive in Los Angeles On my trip to Los Angeles I really wanted to see that legendary Rodeo Drive. If there would be a Wolford boutique in that city, I was confident it would be there. I bet that this is where all the celebrities go to buy their hosiery.

I was really excited to go in for a visit. As I walked in, a really pleasant lady named Trystan greeted me and I asked her about the new styles for the summer. Right away I saw one that I liked, it was a pair of stay ups with a red welt. She told me more about that style, as if she had a telepathic sense of what I wanted to know about it.
The manager, Elizabeth, was also working that day. Both of them were dressed really nicely. I explained to them that I wanted to take a few pictures for my blog (please ask permission as there are some restrictions on photography there) and they even helped me to arrange the leg mannequins for a better angle.

In a small table there was a binder full of celebrity photos who enjoy Wolford. They even had some photographs there from Helmut Newton. Famous women like Rihanna, Kylie Minogue, and Katie Perry are known to wear Wolford for their performances.

If you are ever on Rodeo Drive, go ahead and visit Wolford. It’s a really nice atmosphere and friendly service despite posh neighbourhood. You’ll feel like a celebrity too!

I remember though that in the movie of Alice in Wonderland she gets reprimanded for not wearing stockings to the gathering at which she walks off and finds the rabbit hole.

Romanian Supermodel Madalina Ghenea, girlfriend of Gerard Butler

Article by Camelia, our Romanian Connection

Born in Slatina, Romania, Madalina Ghenea has started her fashion career at the age of 15, in Italy. The young woman has crossed the frontiers of fashion and tried her luck, successfully, in television and movies and that brought her to the attention of the public.

After being tagged in adventures with stars like Leonardo DiCaprio and Eros Ramazzotti, the top model is now in a serious relationship with Gerard Butler, the actor from 300 Heroes of Thermopile”. Madalina Ghenea has become, during the last years, one of the most famous Romanian models, with a great career in Italy, but has just recently found a sentimental fulfilment.

The beautiful Romanian has immediately caught the eye of some top stars like the already mentioned Leonardo Dicaprio (the paparazzi took photos of the two of them together), Eros Ramazzotti and the Oscar winning actor Adrien Brody.  The press speculated greatly on these adventures, but Madalina Ghenea has always avoided speaking of these things.

And now, what seemed like a new conquestthe Scottish actor Gerard Butler has proven to be much more, especially that the star has officially confirmed their relationship. Invited on Jay Leno’s, “The Tonight Show”, Butler publicly admitted that his new girlfriend is a 24 years old aged Romanian woman. We have been together for seven months, it’s not a record”, the 43 years old actor joked.

He is known for the movies RocknRolla” and P.S. I Love You”, but in the same time for the part of king Leonidas, the hero of Termopile, in the movie 300.

Butler confessed that when he met Ghenea he was so impressed of her beauty that he fell in love at first sight. The couple met early this year, while shooting an advertisement. This fall, they were photographed in loving gestures on the Coast of France.

 

Translation to French:

Né à?Slatina, Roumanie, MГ„Ж’dГ„Ж’lina Ghenea a commencé sa carrière de mode à?l’âge de 15 ans, en Italie. La jeune femme a franchi les frontières de la mode et a tenté sa chance, avec succès, en télévision et les films, et cela l’a portée à?l’attention du public.

 

Après avoir été marquée dans des aventures avec des stars comme Leonardo DiCaprio et Eros Ramazzotti, le modèle haut de gamme est maintenant dans une relation sérieuse avec Gerard Butler, l’acteur de «300 – Héros de la thermopile”. MГ„Ж’dГ„Ж’lina Ghenea est devenue, au cours des dernières années, l’un des modèles les plus célèbres de Roumanie, avec une belle carrière en Italie, mais a récemment achevé une vie sentimentale réussie.

 

La belle roumaine a immédiatement attiré l’attention de quelques stars, comme le déjà?mentionné Dicaprio Leonardo (les paparazzi ont pris des photos de tous les deux ensemble), Eros Ramazzotti et l’acteur qui a gagné l’Oscar, Adrien Brody. La presse a beaucoup spéculé sur ces aventures, mais MГ„Ж’dГ„Ж’lina Ghenea a toujours évité de parler de ces choses.

Et maintenant, ce qui semblait être une nouvelle conquête – l’acteur écossais Gerard Butler – s’est avéré être beaucoup plus, surtout que le star a confirmé officiellement leur relation. Invité à?Jay Leno, “The Tonight Show”, Butler a publiquement admis que sa nouvelle petite amie est une femme roumaine de 24 ans. “Nous avons été ensemble pendant sept mois, ce n’est pas un record», les dit l’acteur de 43 ans en riant.

Il est connu pour les films mais dans le même temps pour la partie du roi Leonidas, le héros de Termopile, dans le film „300”.

 

Butler a avoué que lorsqu’il a rencontré Ghenea il a été tellement impressionné de sa beauté qu’il est tombé amoureux au premier regard. Le couple s’est rencontré au début de cette année, lors du tournage d’une publicité. Cet automne, ils ont été photographiés faisant des gestes d’amour sur la cГѓВґte de la France.

Miranda Kerr in a Circus Outfit and Pantyhose

I came across this outfit that the fashion model Miranda Kerr wore to a Halloween party – she is supposed to be the circus presenter.  Sexy!  I wonder what her hubby, Orlando Bloom, wore to the party.

Renee Zellweger finds pantyhose essential

During filming of the movie “New in Town”, Renee Zellweger admits that it was very cold and she had to wear several pairs of pantyhose at once to stay warm.

“I never imagined that I would rejoice at the sight of multiple pairs of pantyhose laid out on the bed by the wardrobe people every morning.”

She’s right about that, it’s an essential accessory.  Even though it doesn’t look like there is much material, this thin garment can make a big difference.

Even though I haven’t seen that new movie, but based on the trailer I think that Renee was referring to sheer nude pantyhose because it doesn’t look like she’s wearing it from afar.

Renee Zellweger is dancing in the movie Chicago. Thank you to my fan James for being able to find this rare picture of Renee wearing pantyhose.

Beyonce wears Wolford pantyhose

I learned from the manager of Wolford in Toronto that Beyonce wears Neon 40 pantyhose in Gobi shade.  “It’s her colour!” – the lady said.  Looking at these images, you can see that it works great with her outfit.

Rihanna is showing off her legs in Wolford pantyhose

Rihanna is one of those music stars who actually appreciates expensive hosiery!  A quick Google search revealed that she wears Wolford quite a lot.  Here is a photo from London, Brit Awards 2012.  This is a Wolford design called “bondage”.

There is also a brave picture of Rihanna in leopard print stay ups by Wolford called “Leo”.  Well, I am sure that only stars like Rihanna can get away with such bald fashion.

On the cover of GQ she is posing in fishnets with a reinforced sole.  Not sure what brand those are, but some kind of hosiery is better than nothing.  I hope she starts a trend!  To my surprise she is only 24 years old, so she still has a lot of time in front of her to rock the world.

Hope Solo, both famous athlete and troublemaker, runs around in pantyhose


This photo was taken before “dancing with the stars” according to what I found online – she was a contestant for 2011 paired with Maksim Chmerkovskiy.

There she is, beautiful and provocative!  She used to be a model before her soccer career.  Even though she is wearing fishnets, I am glad to see that she is in fact wearing some kind of hosiery.  Better than going bare legged!

That’s one sexy goalkeeper lady!  Good luck to her during 2012 Olympics.
