Happy Hump Day

Payne never hurt so good.

Thanks to FELIX for that last crotch shot!

Hats

Wouldn't it be nice if women still wore them?

When Life Sucks...

...suck it back.

Plotting

While her pin curls are plotzing.

THANKS

Debutantes

Ready for their coming out parties, following their blow-outs at Debbie's Curl-Up-'n'-Dye in Bayonne, New Jersey.*










* Thank you, Paul Rudnick!

Back in the Day

Norma and Felix, on the prowl in the park. Yes, they may seem a wee bit overdressed, but there was a method to their madness: they flatly refused to be photographed for their mug shots in the same outfit twice.

Got Those Monday Blues?

The unbeatable combination of hats, highballs and haute couture can cure anything.

Lustre-Creme

For that radiant, immobile look.

Born on This Day

Elizabeth Ashley (August 30, 1939) and Joan Blondell (August 30, 1906 - December 25, 1979), and their hair.

Still Dead

Miss Inger Stevens (1934 - 1970)

Miss Vera-Ellen (1921 - 1981)

Miss Edie Adams (1927 - 2008)

Miss Sandra Dee (1942 - 2005)

Miss Sheree North (1932 - 2005)

The Fairy Godmother of us all, Thombeau, inspires us in many ways, most of them insane. For instance, he recently reminded us that Stella Stevens, Mitzi Gaynor, Ruta Lee, Carol Lynley and Mamie Van Doren are, in fact, still alive. Which naturally also reminded us that Inger Stevens, Vera-Ellen, Edie Adams, Sandra Dee and Sheree North are, in fact, still dead.

Casual Friday

Go on: be the laziest gal in town...as our darling Thombeau says, 'tis divine to recline!

Don't Be Too Hard on the Beaver

Long ago and far away, Tony Dow was the Big Brother we'd want watching us.

Dollars and Cents...

...Nichols and dames.

Memo to Emma Thompson

Back to 1962

Now, that's more like it.

Why Do We Keep it Permanently 1962 Around Here?

THIS is why. We apologize. We now return to our regular programming.

Roz

Doin' what comes naturally.

Ebony & Ivory

Someday, they'll be together.

It's Hump Day!!!!

Maxwell Caulfield will celebrate with an interpretive dance.

One Day at a Time

We're one step closer to reaching the Valley of the Dahl: we have vowed to henceforth no longer dangle a cigarette from the corner of our mouths while we make a left turn; and to always depend upon a man to tell us if we look good in a Granny dress.

This will no doubt help us find a man as dependable as Chad Everett, co-star of MGM's The Singing Nun.

He Tarzan, She Jayne...

...but Mickey seems to only have eyes for Boy.

(Not that we blame him; that bespectacled cutie reminds us a lot of our favorite NILF's!)

She Wants to Be Glamorous

Sixteen reasons and a shag later...

Yes, Poppets, We're Back...

...and, my, you're saying, how we've changed. It's been an exhausting summer, darlings. We have, however, taken up a new regimen guaranteed to turn us into the ever-youthful, always vibrant, eternally glamorous Arlene Dahl in no time.




We'll let you know as soon as it lands us a Lex Barker or Fernando Lamas - but, of course, that might bring on another hiatus.

Darlings...

...we've taken a little more time off from the blog than expected, but we're sure you understand.
