Of course you do, it is just fabulous.
Put the blusher down Joan!

Of course I did!

Love it. Although Michael Parkinson is awful! He makes disparaging remarks about women applying foundation ‘like polyfilla’ or getting stuck in the past, or making other mistakes with their own faces.

He doesn’t dare criticise Joan though. He must have known that she’d slap him one.

Made my day thank you!

Michael Parkinson irritating oik.

ColdemortReturns · 11/01/2021 10:19

To think she was late 40's here... what a face!
And yes, would be considerably improved without Parky yabbering on

Exquisite face. And so funny too.

They don't make them like that any more.

(I am thinking, with affection, of French and Saunders Lucky Bitches)

thesugarbumfairy · 11/01/2021 10:28

this is great. She is so lovely and charming

Floisme · 11/01/2021 10:54

I adore Joan Collins.
That is all.

Iamthewombat · 11/01/2021 11:42

The speed with which she slings on those false eyelashes! She rules.

Housewife2010 · 11/01/2021 12:34

Ive seen this before. Joan is fab. I have all her beauty books. I'm very fond of Michael Parkinson.

MacDuffsMuff · 11/01/2021 16:46

Oh I LOVE Joan. She's outstanding isn't she.

MrsMoastyToasty · 11/01/2021 16:55

I recently saw an episode of the new version of Hawaii 5-0 that she appeared in. She still looks like she did in Dynasty, even down to the hairstyle.

ShagMeRiggins · 11/01/2021 17:17

My God. I’m in awe.

ColdemortReturns · 11/01/2021 18:29

The lashes.... it would take me the full time just to do them Grin

Also, does she use the same pencil for her brows, eyeliner, eye shadow and lip liner??? Love the gold glam look but oh my 80's blusher Grin

Her eyebrows look so pretty compared with the slugs that are sported nowadays.

Isolatedizzy · 11/01/2021 19:24

Oh I love that!
It's strange at first hearing her voice coming from a make/up free face! She was on Good Morning Britain this morning via Zoom and still looks amazing!

Crapbuttrue · 11/01/2021 19:34

I'm going to buy the book...

Jojoanna · 11/01/2021 19:34

Fab

DearPrudence · 11/01/2021 19:51

My favourite bit was when she was glamming up for the evening look and she says - "and then a bit more blusher".

Grin and when she says women dont change their looks, and she's been rocking the exact same makeup for 40 years Grin

I read the comments before watching so was looking out for these. Parky said that he would need polyfiller and he asked if women made mistakes but she did both of those comments -he guided a bit but she said it. And the one about "young girls" before they got married having more motivation!

I did love how her bare face involved having eyeliner already on.Grin

Doesn't her skin look fantastic! That was pre retinol/acid/SPF routines. She probably lay in the sun covered in baby oil.

I cant get over the fact she's 47 here Shock I did see an interview with her once where one of the old Hollywood stars (cant remember who) told her not to sit out on the sun, so she always made sure she covered her face. Although I do think she smokes? (Or at least used to)

Yup, still smokes Shock

Joan Collins is my hero...I need the name of her plastic surgeon ASAP.

Do you think shes had surgery? She's always spoken out against it and I would have thought she's so no-nonsense that she would admit it if she had. I've always thought shes more a combination of wonderful genes (those cheekbones), and an iron will when it comes to dieting and being 'glam' at all times

Was she really in her 40s here? 😮
