Rita Hayworth

Rita Hayworth (October 17 1918 - May 14 1987), was an American actress who rose to stardom in the 1940s as the era's leading sex symbol. She was known as "The Love Goddess", and was celebrated as an expert dancer and great beauty.

Margarita Carmen Cansino, better known as Rita Hayworth, was born in

Brooklyn, New York, the daughter of Spanish flamenco dancer Eduardo Cansino (Sr.) and English/Irish-American Ziegfield girl Volga Hayworth.
Hayworth was on stage by the age of six as a member of The Dancing Cansinos, a famous family of Spanish flamenco dancers working in vaudeville. Her father had performed in a dancing duo with his sister Elisa earlier in his career, and later he revived the duo with his daughter Rita as his dancing partner, performing in nightclubs in California and the Foreign Club in Tijuana,

Mexico. At age 16, already an accomplished professional dancer, Hayworth attracted the attention of film producers and was signed by Fox Studio's in 1935, where she appeared mostly in small roles.

Becoming 40

I'm the 40 this year and beginning to get a real 40 thing! Each day i look in the mirror i swear i have one more wrinkle around my eyes! I don't do wrinkle creams as i'm not sure they're just a gimmick but i have started on the water as i think that is the best de wrinkle solution you can have.

I have noticed grey hair too! More and more of the blighters! Im a red head and was told that red heads don't go grey their hair fades? You can imagine that believing this for all those years and finding that awful first grey strand was devasting! Fickle? Yep but for God sake i am a red head, NOT GINGER! I've put up with being teased for years at school, freckles and the usual pale skin BUT now i'm grey, i want my RED roots, its costing me a fortune in having my hair tinted back to my natural colour!

The other thing i'm on a diet! Yep the usual but i think i have middle aged spread already! :( Its been easier than i thought and have lost half a stone in 4 weeks which is a good healthy weight loss but i have to lose another 2 stone!

Oh i hate being nearly 40, someone tell me its not that bad!?

April Showers

Well its been awful weather in Manchester. Snowing in April! We expect rain showers but not snow my poor daffodils that were looking so lovely and spring like in my garden have withered in the frost. :(

I have managed though to work on some new styles for missy moo moo and sam. I'm currently making up some funky fashion bags for teens BUT you're never to old to have one of missy moo moo and sam's bags.

The range will consist of really funky quirky fabrics, above is a taster of the type of thing you'll see.

Hope you like them!
