1901-1992Marlene Dietrich kicked ass. A few reasons why I think so:
- She drew power from her sexy androgynous wardrobe. Her philsophy: When you put on men's clothing, you also put on their privileges.
- She refused to work for the (German) film industry under Hitler, refused the Fuhrer himself when a Nazi officer made sexual requests on his behalf, and became the first woman to earn the Medal of Freedom for 3 years of tireless work in the USO during WWII.
- Marlene once declined an offer to meet Princess Margaret of England with "I'm a Queen. I should stay up for a Princess?"

I say the same thing when people ask me if I watched Carson Daly last night.
you know people who ask you that?
you need new people in your life.
I would have paid real money to meet either Marlene or Greta Garbo. Just for coffee. Or schnapps.
