She was some kind of a woman. Josef von Sternberg may have crafted his own goddess in the form of leggy, sunken-cheek-boned and languid Marlene Dietrich, but Marlene took his tutelage and made herself...Marlene. With classic, otherworldly, baroque beauty (blonde beauty -- which work almost as its own cinematic genre for me) the Sternberg Dietrich duo created their iconic masterstrokes The Blue Angel,...

SHOCKINGLY, men don’t find super-skinny women attractive. Plus, from the comments: “Quite honestly, men are so happy to have any interesting pretty woman be with them.” As Marlene Dietrich once said, a man is more interested in a woman who is interested in him, than a woman with the most perfect legs [...]
