Classic Beauty: Clara Bow

Straddling, so to speak, the silent- and talkies era of movies, it’s worth remembering that the tiny Clara Bow was one of the top three movie actresses of the period.  She was a redhead, although tragically, she never appeared in a color movie.  And she was a hell-raiser with a voracious sexual appetite.

The “It” Girl, indeed.

Humble Gratitude

I just wanted to thank all those who have contributed to my “Keep Kim From Poverty” fund:  the results from Week 1 have been wonderful, not to mention in some cases astonishing (and you know who you are).

I know this is a PITA, and believe me, I hate asking for help.  But this blog is no longer the site it once was — back in those days, I actually had more discrete readers per day than the Daily Mail — and it pains me that the once-proud “BANG” [Buy (Kim) a New Gun] fund has been reduced to a HKKHLO [Help Kim Keep His Lights On] fund.

But there it is, and here we are.  Please consider supporting this tired old back porch, if you haven’t already.
