Bella Donna: Marianne Faithfull
Despite being known as the folk-singing, wild ex of Mick Jagger, Marianne Faithfull (born Marian Evelyn Faithfull in 1946), the stylish singer is more diverse than you might have thought.

The other day on the bus, I noticed a lady focusing all (and I mean all) of her attention to her nails.
