and you, you keep me warm

I'm going through bit of a Doctor Zhivago stage - all I want to do is wear ridiculously delicious-looking (faux) fur cossack hats. I blame the blistering winters of upstate New York. I'm not advocating or even condoning the wearing of fur - in this day and age, with so many other fantastic-looking alternatives are out there, I don't understand why you'd want to buy the real thing - but it surely is a fantastic look, isn't it? Websites like ASOS have excellent faux versions of the look, so now all of us (even the veggie-eaters!) can look like we're living la vida Zhivago

Pattie Boyd (but were any of you surprised I put her on the list?)

High society gals in the sixties even gave the look a try

I have a strange obsession with the style of Grace Jones, and her take on the cossack hat does nothing to quell that obsession

Elizabeth Taylor does the fur look (and - no surprise - she looks glam doing it!)

The model of this gorgeous Vogue cover is a mystery - a lot of people credit the pic to Penelope Tree, but I agree with the genius over at Youthquakers, who believes it's Lesley Jones

Here's the actual Penelope Tree, doing her take on the fur hat look

Always the fashion icon, Penny Lane tries her hand (or head) at the look

The lovely Romy Schneider 

There's a reason why those Moscow girls made Paul McCartney scream and shout

An excellent street style example of how to rock the fur hat

Another from Fashion Rocks - this time taking inspiration from Janis Joplin

In this statement-making look, it's easy to see why Jean-Paul Belmondo was so in love with Ursula Andress

A timeless - yet incredibly on-trend - example of the fur cossack hat

No surprise that perennial fashion risk-taker Cate Blanchett pulled off this look without a hitch in The Curious Case of Benjamin Button

suddenly someone is there at the turnstyle, the girl with kaleidoscope eyes

I have been having a very lovely email chat with a dolly out there who was in search of some inspirational eye makeup, similar to our beloved glam hippie. Her request got me thinking about my own makeup routine. I've been in this tragic winter rut where I feel accomplished if I swab on some eye liner and quickly pinch an eyelash curler through my lashes. Well, that will not do! I'm supplying some fab photos to help us all through the winter drear, hopefully giving you all a little inspiration to lift your spirits (and your lashes!)
With colors galore, glitter, shimmer, and tons of lashes, here are my favorite girls with kaleidoscope eyes:

Twiggy looks marvelous, abandoning her mod androgyny for a mass of curls (and stars!) and heavily contoured colors 

Lauren Hutton opts for muted colors of burgundy, purple and orange for a startlingly gorgeous result

I loved when it was de rigueur in fashion of the sixties to paint your eyelids so heavily that they would droop! 

Anjelica Huston rocked the scant-eyebrow look, compensating with tons of color on her lids

So many eyes, so little time! From the Pablo Manzoni crafted look in the upper left corner, to lady bug lids and petal lashes - so much inspiration!

Elizabeth Taylor is most famous for her violet eyes, but it's interesting to see how her different films - like Cleopatra and Doctor Faustus - played them up in different ways

Biba babe and supermodel Ingrid Boulting

Lovely hippie face paint

Jean Shrimpton is a constant source of makeup inspiration - her eyes are gorgeously full, it's easy to see how she captivated the likes of David Bailey and the editors of Vogue and Harper's

From lash line to eye brow, green shadow in varying shades is perfect for any occasion!

Marissa Berenson is the ultimate beauty - I love her looks here rocking silver glitter, caterpillar lashes, and electric shadow 

Various covergirls of the sixties, sporting shadows, shimmers, and jewels

Pamela Des Barres (and the rest of the GTO's - check out the star eyes in the left photo!) always looked lovely with her painted-on lashes, half-moon creases, and hearts

Peggy Moffitt - always so daring, and yet so perfect. I don't think she ever misstep with her look

A Peggy-inspired film, Who Are You Polly Maggoo?, shows a young model in similar Moffitt makeup 

Runway models of today sport the over-the-top glam look on their eyes

Hippie face paint - such a dream!

The rebel girl of the modeling world, Veruschka, was never one to shy away from the most daring looks and editorial creations - she always pushed the envelope of what was 'beautiful'

Another one of fashion's bad gals, Donyale Luna, rocks some serious ear gear and eye paint
