VALENTINA TERESHKOVA: First woman in space

Today makes the 53rd anniversary of Valentina Tereshkova’s first journey into space. On the 16th of June in the year 1963, Tereshkova became the first women in space, a record which made her not only a Hero of the Soviet Union but a heroine across the world.

She was 26 years old when she boarded the Vostok 6 spacecraft and went into orbit.

After her space flight she became highly active in politics, serving as a member of the Supreme Soviet of the USSR as well as being a member of the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet.

She continues to act as a global ambassador for Russian culture and maintains active membership in the Communist Party of the Russian Federation, the success party to the Communist Party of the Soviet Union.

Homage to Anita Pallenberg (in photo with her son Marlon.) Actress, model, mother, grandmother, style icon...Ms. Pallenberg died June 13, age 75. @nytimesfashion #vanessafriedman @vvfriedman writes about her contributions to #music history, and #fashion history, including influencing #katemoss #stellamccartney #bellafreud and of course the #rollingstones Vanessa writes: "She was a pioneer of so-called boho deluxe, mixing high boots and miniskirts and chain belts and new romantic blouses; animal print and paisley and florals; billowing sleeves and ribbed knits. She threw it all together with a just-rolled-out-of-bed/up-all-night air and dared anyone to comment. She mixed high and low and blended genres with magnetic abandon, and the result had its own gravitational pull. Combined with her personal back story — of hedonism and drug addiction, of promise and destruction, of going down in flames and rising from the ashes, with famous men left wallowing in her wake — it created exactly the kind of aesthetic myth that designers find hard to resist. She wore clothes and gave them a story. That story resonated far beyond her life, and it still does today. When the history of fashion is written, she should get her due." #restinpeace #anitapallenberg
