The whole world loves divas. "Without divas, the world is a big mistake" said Maximillien de Lafayette, and he is right. "Just imagine a world without music and scented Jazz, Opera and Cabaret female singers?" added Lafayette. Well, he is now putting the final touches on a new book solely dedicated to the divas  from the 1700s to modern times. His new book "Bona Fide Divas and Femmes Fatales: The 700 official ones" is an intriguing and fascinating work. It includes thousands of names, but the emphasis is placed upon the 700 leading divas and femmes fatales in motion pictures, Jazz, Cabaret, music and showbiz, starting with the queens of the silent film era and ending with today's "hustling divas."

For centuries, Greek philosophers, historians, panel members of beauty contests and gossip columnists debated the issue of beauty, and its effect on the human mind and success in careers and business. The same applies to the micro and macro cosmos of Jazz. It was wisely said that male jazz artists communicate better with the public if their personality reflects charisma and a warm rapport with the audience. For female jazz singers, talent radiates and glows, when stage presence and physical beauty of the female entertainer became a de facto apparent and unquestionable. Simply put, beauty and the REFINED FEMINA style are a prerequisite and a stimulus for mass attraction. Read full article
