catherine deneuve was my first blonde icon.....i can't really say the first time i saw her, probably in magazines for chanel nº5.  i remember seeing the hunger when i was quite young (bowie fetish!) and just being mesmerized by her.  it was so difficult to pick my favorite images of her - she is just so beyond stunning.  she was the epitome of class & otherness - so glamorous, so beautiful, so blond, so french. oh la la.  still going strong & still beautiful.  & i am still obsessed with her hair color!!
