Rosie Vela & Patti Hanson Were My Favorites - At The Time This Was A Model's Uniform On The Streets Of Manhattan
About Renée Finberg
I have been in this business since the age of 22.
I love what I do and cannot imagine my life without Design.
Design Challenges are great.
And because of those challenges
I have imported fine antique pieces from Paris,
Designed and Manufactured Furniture,
Created Fantastic Window Treatments,
And solved all kinds of spatial & architectural issues
With my unique style.
If I can't find it, I create it.
My rooms would make excellent movie sets.
I am a visual, tactile and audio sensitive individual.
Creating is what I live for, not math, not spelling, not science.
Just Great Design.
Just imagine how it would be if each of us,
If only for a few hours of everyday,We could be in a space that is our very own.A place that is exactly the way we want it to be
Surrounded by all the things we wanted to see,
The atmosphere we wanted feel, smell and the sound we wanted to listen to.

I have a pair of those shoes. Got them for 20 less because I could wear a child's size, haha! They are Timberlands. Unfortunately I didn't have a raccoon coat but my 5'3" body would have given me away around the models. I had to stay skinny just so I wouldn't look like an Oompa Loompa!
ReplyDeleteGreat boots. I haven't thought of them lately. I'm too busy wearing my tacky uggs (short for ugly) around.
What happened to your mink? Florida weather?
Have a great day.

Yep at 5'4" there was no way I could carry off long coats & ankle boots in ANY way. I don't give a hoot about Super models, but let me remind you Ms. F, you are one Super blogger!

I have searched and searched for a full length mink jacket for years (second hand and vintage!) but cannot find one anywhere and I am about to buy boots just like that....do you think I could be an vintage super model?!!!!
ReplyDeleteSunday night is the big reveal night I hope you will come over and follow on One Pink Chair. Love you xxx Jules
jules
ReplyDeletei will definitely come over!!
i can hardly wait.
xxx love
teresa,
ReplyDeletemy mink was in cold storage for a while....
then the animal protection folks started throwing paint
at people wearing furs.....
it has been sitting in my closet for g-d knows how long.
....i brought it home from the cold storage to make a throw for my bed,
and never got around to it.
it will probably disintegrate if i move the hanger!!!
hahahahah

ReplyDeleteA great tribute to how models should look....beautiful, healthy and happy. I don't know these days so many of them have these perpetual scowls on their faces, are waaaay to skinny (I wish I could "loan" them a few pounds) and honestly many are not as pretty as they used to be, kind of an unorthodox kind of pretty...am sure you know what I am saying.
ReplyDeleteI miss the old supermodels even if they made me feel short. And chubby. And kind of imperfect. LOL
enchanted tina,
ReplyDeletei agree the new ones almost look like
'abstracts' of woman.
and i too thought that they were more perfectly per portioned.
i mean look at patti's thighs.
NOT SKINNY.
just right!!
i was just mailed that she is recovering from bladder cancer.
take care and stay true to your style!!!

Beautiful People..
ReplyDeleteI love the mink. At 5'2" I'd look silly in the boots too.
ReplyDeleteBlast from the past! Wow. I wore those hiking boots with a skirt because I saw it in Seventeen magazine.
