We're kick in' it real old-school today! When I think of Dame Elizabeth Taylor, I think of her tireless philanthropic work to shine a light on the importance of AIDS research through the creation of amfAR and the Elizabeth Taylor AIDS Foundation.....

......and of course, her love life!
Even though she had eight marriages - one of which left her a widow, another which was to the husband of her best friend, and her very first walk down the aisle being to Paris Hilton's great uncle - the relationship that was all-encompassing, passionate, decadent and ultimately toxic led to not one but TWO marriages. She met Richard Burton and her life would be changed forever. This era in her life was followed closely by paparazzi and entertainment writers and was the stuff of legends. There hasn't been a celebrity couple since that comes close to matching Liz and Dick and the intensity the union brought, or the salacious gossip. We're talking all of the juiciest, smuttiest things rolled into one couple - adultery, passion, knock-down wars of words, grand gestures, sex, extravagant gifts of jewellery, alcoholism and a love that was ultimately the best/worst thing for them. The closest modern counterpart would be Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie but apart from their eyebrow-raising beginnings and their African adventure in 2005, and despite the media and public fascination with Brangelina, they haven't been anywhere near as tempestuous, torrid and turbulent as their gossip predecessors! Taylor-Burton>>>>Jolie-Pitt.

Today, we look back at the many marriages of Elizabeth Taylor! Eight weddings from one bride, and she was a knockout in every one of 'em!

Wishing you a day as limitless as you are~
