WAKE UP GIRLS FOLLOW THE LEADER JOAN COLLINS, LET US NOMINATE A "JOAN COLLINS DAY". A DAY FOR TOTAL GLAMOUR. SHE IS EVERYTHING THAT ENGLAND SHOULD STAND FOR AND APPRECIATE.

You should be reminded next year that Joan Collins is going to be in her 80th year she is looking very fabulous. At about 50 she was in the centrefold of Playboy.  Whether you are a fan or not she is a testament  of looking after herself.  I like her bravery.  Not many people can wear a white suit aged 35 let alone 78.  Her glamour has always been  classical and even after going out at night she will go and freshen up before meeting her public.  Joan has a beautiful cut glass accent with perfect diction that only an actress of her caliber could have.  It is hard work to create this image, be sober and keep friends after so many years.  Last year I had lunch with her and she was energetic with natural makeup, and the aura that she was the only real woman in the room.  With the absence of Lana Turner, Joan Crawford, Greta Garbo, Marilyn Monroe, Grace Kelly and Rita Heyworth this woman is the only true star left.  Many women are pretty today but as you get older putting it together becomes an art. This woman is a true artist.
