RIP Lena Horne

My love of fashion started at any early age.  I grew up watching musicals and old movies and was always drawn to the imbeccable style and craftsmanship of the garments, whether I was looking at Greta Garbo wear a man's hat and pinstriped suit or Audrey Hepburn and Elizabeth Taylor in an Edith Head creation.  They just don't make clothes like they used to.
They also don't make stars like they used to.  Stars back in the day always had so much style and class.  Including Lena Horne.  Lena Horne died today at the age of 92 and there will never be another like her, just like the fashions of my childhood cannot ever be re-created in the same way.  RIP, Lena Mary Calhoun Horne (June 30, 1917 - May 9, 2010).
