I Want to be Like Lauren Bacall

by DeeAnne on 10/08/2010

I want to be like Lauren Bacall.

I want to be real, but elegant.

I want to be fearless, but feminine.

I want to be strong, but well mannered.

I want to be independent, but ladylike.

I want to live the life I dream of, and encourage those I love to do the same.

I want to be like Lauren Bacall.

I know you won’t be surprised when I tell you that I first had Katharine Hepburn’s photo there! Great minds….

Have a wonderful weekend Susan!

Here’s a couple more from me …
I want to throw that “come hither” look over my shoulder as well as she does; and
I want to come up with one of these >>>>>> ;) <<<<<<<< that doesn't look silly, but hints at that sultry Lauren Bacall kind of glamourous elegance. (wink)
Have a charmed and delightful day …

But you already are all the things you list!

Oh Linda! You are so lovely to say that, but I’m working very hard on one or two of those things at all times! I hope you’re well, and that my “daughter” has new shoes she loves for the first day of school!

I agree with Linda.
I think that being able to identify the traits you admire means your already there! All you need is the courage to implement them on a daily basis then they’ll become second nature.
The really important question is: do you know how to whistle…?!

I’ve recently and on more than one occasion been told that I looked and sounded like Lauren Bacall, and I had never heard of her because she is before my time, so I didn’t really understand the compliment. However, after watching some videos, reading about her, and finding this site I’m really flattered. She is quite unique, I would love to be more like her in my day to day life, but it’s hard to be that collected and sophisticated as a young woman!!!

What a wonderful compliment you’ve been given! Ms Bacall burst into the scene at quite a young age, and impressed with her composure, and others must see the same in you!

Thank you for your comment, and best wishes!
