STEVE McQUEEN | HOLLYWOOD’S ANTI-HERO & TRUE SON OF LIBERTY « Th Steve McQueen– ironically displaying his signature, perfect balance of allegiance and rebellion. “I live for myself and I answer to nobody.” –Steve McQueen Steve McQueen personified the “anti-hero” in Hollywood at a time when the emerging counterculture in America was challenging the very definition of what a true “hero” is. We all know McQueen raced cars and motorcycles, but his story goes a lot deeper than that. After the Marines, McQueen used his G.I. All this from a kid born into what many would consider a throw-away life. “When I believe in something, I fight like hell for it.” –Steve McQueen A young Steve McQueen Steve McQueen in a studio still shot from The Great Escape.

Boat People's vintage and DIY fashion blog - your daily source of OMG Black Watch HILDA GRAHNAT har har har simple blueprint Today I want to share a lovely story with you, a heart warming story. I fell in love with the dress above (even blogged about it here), but since I snoozed for a minute it was sold out by the time I went to buy it. I was frustrated and I just could not shake the dress. Finally I emailed Zadig & Voltaire to see if maybe maybe they had one somewhere. A few weeks later I received an email from Cecilia Bonstrom, head designer of Zadig, telling me that she was going to see if she could find one for me. If you follow me you know that I love Zadig & Voltaire.
Coolness Is Timeless This photo comes from 1969. Sammy was playing at a charity concert in Philadelphia. It was a benefit to help raise funds to deter gang violence.
