Today's Sea Siren - Brigitte Bardot


Brigitte Bardot Filling In As First Mate


Always at home in a bikini, and looking her best with tousled hair, young Brigitte would have been welcome assistance on any yacht, boat or bay cruiser....she couldn't even manage to look ugly dragging on a ciggie as pictured here.....

Brigitte Bardot/Quotes
 
What could be more beautiful than a dear old lady growing wise with age? Every age can be enchanting, provided you live within it.
 
I gave my beauty and my youth to men. I am going to give my wisdom and experience to animals.
 
A photograph can be an instant of life captured for eternity that will never cease looking back at you.
 
They may call me a sinner, but I am at peace with myself.
 
I have been very happy, very rich, very beautiful, much adulated, very famous and very unhappy.
 
I leave before being left. I decide.
 
It is sad to grow old but nice to ripen.
 
I can't do the same thing every night, the same gestures... it's like putting on dirty panties every day.
 
I'm a girl from a good family who was very well brought up. One day I turned my back on it all and became a bohemian.
 
It is better to be unfaithful than to be faithful without wanting to be.

Daily Beach Shack!

An exterior which calls for it's own 60s american sitcom and a renovated interior done in such a way as to keep cool on long Queensland summers, this is a singularly joyful and character-driven hom...
This little baby has it all.....the hoppers, the multi tile front, the shitty but cool green paint, the agaves...the only thing missing is a quiver of surf boards piled up out the front (pre-theft days).....

Daily Beach Shack!

Love how much glass this little fella has! Makes a "tiny-ish" house look really open and much bigger!

Daily Beach Shack!

Love the front of this one....and if I'm not mistaken those cool bricks are shielding an outdoor shower? Perfect to wash off the salt water after a surf or swim!
