Dorian Leigh Dies at 91

Dorian LeighDorian Leigh, big time model of the 1940's died in Falls Church, VA. I had no idea a famous supermodel was so close to me! Even one at 91. Doesn't she look like Dita von Teese?
Apparently "Truman Capote called his friend Ms. Leigh “Happy-Go-Lucky,” and she had many similarities to Holly Golightly, the heroine of Capote’s “Breakfast at Tiffany’s” — not least what Vanity Fair called her wayward lifestyle and reckless bravado."
OMG the original Holly Golightly!!!!

Who would have thought that little ol' Falls Church was not only the biggest purchaser of pre-ordered Harry Potter books in the country but housed a former super model as well?

*sniff* It just makes me so proud.
