"The Face of the Decade," according to Women's Wear Daily - the fashion bible of the 70's.

Said David Bailey 
"Unlike Shrimpton and Deneuve, Penelope was fantastic in terms of style—avant-garde. When she was 19, they offered her the editorship of Italian Vogue. Penelope was out there! You should have seen her father's face when she walked out with a skirt made of raccoon tails, and her knickers below her skirt! But Penelope's father was great. He once said, "We're almost the same because we're so far apart that the circle's almost complete." But Penelope was something special. I think she changed a generation of young American girls."PDN GALLERY.COM

John Lennon was said to have called Tree, Hot, Hot, Hot, Smart, Smart, Smart.

FIESTA AT PAMPLONA - 1953

As flies to wonton boys, are we to the Gods; they kill us for their sport
William Shakespeare

Miguel Baez Espuny "el Litri"
The Valiant  Gnome

Known as "el Litri" Miguel Baez Espuny, Matador and stockbreeder,  is considered one of the most outstanding figures in Spanish bullfighting

Incredulity and cynicism in the nine-dollar seats which are nearest  and best

Before the bull enters, when the glitter of costume and cape is still social ...

Luis Miguel Dominguin, Numero Uno of living matadors, kneels before a dominated bull in an "adornment."

A high-horned chomping bull, and the matador momentarily gives ground


Luis Miguel Dominguin conquered bulls all over Spain, Portugal and Columbia through the 1940's and 1950's. He is also know for conquering the hearts of film star Ava Gardner and fashion model China Machado. Never without a beautiful woman on is arm, Dominguin enjoyed his reputation as one of the world's for-most playboys.
