GEMINI Geminians are extremely quick on the uptake, and love a good chat or discussion. They are happiest when there is something new happening all the time, and they love having lots of people around them. In short, they are unpredictable, eager to learn and active, always fully informed of what is going on. They are popular and make contact easily with others.
CHRISTEL MAROTT Christel (Christel Marott, 1919-1992) was a concept representing a unique artist who, with her very own sense of style and elegance, was always ahead of her time. She was only seventeen when she made her debut as a self-conscious magazine illustrator and continued to illustrate both Danish and foreign weekly and fashion magazines throughout her entire life. Christel became synonymous with her provocative, long-legged girls and their exceptional, vibrant sensuality, at once both sober and rousing. This far-sighted ideal of a girl came to grace girls' books, paper dolls and fashion designs the world over, including magazines such as Vogue and Harpers Bazaar.
