"No: people who love downy peaches are apt not to think of the stone, and sometimes jar their teeth terribly against it." George Eliot- Adam Bede




"You're so brutal to those who love you, Scarlett. You take their love and hold it over their heads like a whip"

Scarlett O'Hara uses her charm shamelessly to get what she want; beauty is no match for charm. But Rhett's love for her wears out when she realises she loves him, and as we all learn: a love that is lost can never be found.

20 years later, Swedish actress Britt Ekland made use of her feminine charms to get anything she desired in the Peter Sellers' film 'The Bobo'. I adore her bombshell image, and the movie shows Britt at her most beautiful. 
Peter Sellers proposed to her over the phone in 1964 after a whirlwind romance. He'd seen her photo in a newspaper.

The Queen of feminine charm will always be Marilyn Monroe. An eternal title because she was not charming simply for materialistic gain; her charm seemed to be ingrained. 


So perhaps she is the peach without a stone?
