More Random - Divas and Icons

Hello me dears.
Having been a bit behind with me blog last month, I am trying to be on time this.
So here we are with yet more randomness.
I am now addicted to 'Tumblr' and here are a few photos that appealed to me.
I assume all of them to be in public domain but if asked will of course remove them.
