“…replacing madge alsop, who is ill”
Diva of the Future Renée Fleming, whose impending assignments include modeling four couture gowns on the stage of the Metropolitan Opera, is shown here making a septuagenarian female impersonator look positively chic by comparison.

As for Renée’s beauty, well, no one can carp about that!
Chanteuse girl, are you crazy??? i looked at your site… you have mighty gorgeous women on there… please take another look at that magazine cover… that is about as bad as a beautiful woman like Renee can look… My VERY STRAIGHT brother has loved RF since Thais in Chicago… i sent him the pic and he didnt even know who it was…
Well, thank you.
Now that I look at it again, her make-up on the cover looks rather smudged. The one who air-brushed it didn’t do a good job… But STILL beautiful in my book.
After a long and very pleasurable absence/douche I return to the fray with cabalettas blazing.
Now I’m stunned by the ad for bridesmaid dresses just below here from dessy.com
I knew she was thinking of going into straight theatre, but had no idea about this little sideline.
