Not even in their most outlandish dreams do they come close to the icons of yesteryears!<br />Big A: I don't know a lot of her songs but I bet you can belt them out as silkily and awesome!<br />Alex: Dietrich is definitely worth your google research!<br />Keda: I know what you mean, but I took her quote more as a pragmatic advise on how to handle the fragile man's ego. It's after all a very practical keep to keep a relationship healthy. We all know who rules and rocks the home, but we don't need to say that to our men. They know that too.Psycho Babbling Basherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17232755958213827818noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1807511764954512386.post-17301920215155743182011-07-06T00:54:46.742-07:002011-07-06T00:54:46.742-07:00What an amazing icon.

I was aware of her, as much as one can be of someone so famous, but not the full extent to her actions and service. <br /><br />Personally, I don't like the quote about being a woman, simply because I don't think that anyone was born to be "mastered" by anyone inthis world, but I also know that this was a thought pattern in that time, and still is amongst many woman.<br /><br />Thanks so much for sharing her life with us. Another name to add to my list of people I admire.Kedahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03467573541576582062noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1807511764954512386.post-14008393354893046802011-07-06T00:28:07.174-07:002011-07-06T00:28:07.174-07:00Thanks for this post so I could learn about Marlen...Thanks for this post so I could learn about Marlene Dietrich.
