The wine cellar of La Tour d'Argent (top right), the oldest restaurant in Paris, is so popular that only customers who order the most expensive vintages or otherwise 'prove their interest' are allowed a guided tour. Members of the restaurant's fortunate few are then led into the restaurant's bowels by a member of staff wearing white tie and tails who chimes a copper bell to announce the visitor's arrival to the security men who guard its property round the clock. They are met with a warren of 27 rooms containing more than 300,000 bottles worth £21 million per capita. The 25,000 most valuable bottles, which are all priced at £250 to $800, are stored in a separate area on the first floor of the cellar, which has walls reinforced with battleship-grade metal to discourage any thieves tunnelling in, and no one - not even the head sommelier - is allowed inside alone.

After the dark: After dark: A look at Manhattan's 1940s and 1950s nightlife scene

www.dailymail.co.uk, December 31, 2023
It's the city that never sleeps, and nowhere was more true than in the heyday of Manhattan nightlife, the postwar 1940s and the Golden Age of the 1950s. The Cotton Club was where it was at in the days of jazz. Studio 54 became the place to be and be seen by the time it was disco's turn to rule. However, New Yorkers and young New Yorkers flocked to El Morocco and the Copacabana, just days before the disco. They were a home away from home for the wealthy, famous, and glamorous. They were bars to drink and dance the night away, escape the wartime darkness, the post-war blues, and embrace the golden 50s. Regardless of what was going on outside, life was glorious. And in most cases, they have long been tied to history - and mythology.

And lo, on the ninth day of a positive lateral flow, I took a test and was negative, and I was glad to go to the store to buy some cheese at last. All things being said, it hasn't been a vintage Christmas. We were unable to visit my mother the first week due to a testing positive for Covid, but instead we were confined to barracks, both my husband and I were suffering from the symptoms. On Boxing Day, I finally got it together enough to make a ham with potatoes and whip up a cauliflower cheese, but I was so ill from the effort that I could barely eat it. Presents were postponed until the 27th of October. Our halls have been decorated not with boughs of holly but with boxes of tissues and bottles of cough medicine.

RICHARD KAY: How stars of both genders were bewitched by Helmut Berger

RICHARD KAY: It was electrifying as an entrance. He strode on to the screen, wearing a sleek top hat and stockings in the style of Marlene Dietrich's The Blue Angel, radiating an ethereal and dangerous beauty. Helmut Berger's personal life might have matched the sordid debauchery he brought so vividly to The Damned, the controversial 1969 film in which a German arms manufacturing family's story and their links to the Nazi rise was coincidental. Berger, the heir whose emotional tumultuous journey, comes to an end with his mother's sex and her lover's forced suicide, played by Dirk Bogarde. One critic expressed his displeasure with the catalogue of murder, incest, rape, tranvestism, and child molestation as if he's spent the afternoon in the reptile house at [London] Zoo." Miss Dietrich, however, was thrilled, complimenting Berger, who spent weeks perfecting his impression of her, and sent him a picture of herself inscribed: 'Who's prettier? Marlene is a sweetheart.'

Makeup's Next Big Thing "Bow Lips" will be the next big thing

www.popsugar.co.uk, February 13, 2023
Beauty styles are gradually revived from the past, whether it's the 2000s with "romcom core," the 1990s with brown lip liner, or the 1970s with the fluffy, Farrah Fawcett-style hair. That said, it's much less common for trends from a hundred years ago to make a comeback, but that's just what's going for the "bow lips" makeup trend. For background, actress Clara Bow and Marlene Dietrich, who appeared in the 1920s and '30s, were ambassadors of doll-like lips. Celebrities of that time all exaggerated their cupid's bow for a sharper glance. Since then, lip liner (and lip contours in general) have undergone quite a makeover. The trend has been to overdraw lips for the last ten years, with many hacks, such as Kim Kardashian's makeup artist Mario Dedivanovic's "lip flip" method (aka Makeup By Mario), popping up everywhere in 2022. However, "bow lips" are a drastic contrast to that.
