Before Bardot, French cinema audiences had to put up with Martine Carol, the poor things. How they must have suffered…
Color, you ask? Okay, just a couple:
Magnifique, non?

Science
Finally, an academic study that keeps us abreast of things:
Scientists have uncovered why women’s breasts are so large compared to other animals.
You all know what’s coming next, right?
Color, you say? Oh, why not…
And finally, a couple of more recent vintage:
I know, I know: it’s been a shamefully long time since we saw la bella Sophia on this here back porch of mine. I apologize for this egregious omission.
…and oh yeah, about that scientific reason why wimmen’s breasteses are so gloriously abundant:
According to a team from the University of Oulu, Finland, breasts may have evolved to help newborns. Human breasts sit at an elevated temperature, protecting a newborn from hypothermia. What’s more, the size and shape of the breast allows for broad contact surface – enhancing the heat transfer from mother to child.
And I always thought it was to help keep men excited and wanting to procreate. Silly me.

Classic Beauty: Sylvia Syms
Someone else said it best:
“I don’t think any actress in English-speaking cinema of this era had such a variety of love interests as Sylvia Syms. It helped that she was beautiful, of course… that she could act: it’s hard to think of a bad Sylvia Syms performance – sometimes she was miscast, but never bad. She always brought a level of intelligence to her roles along with a sense of fun. And she was highly adept playing “smouldering hot lava of emotion and sensuality under an outwardly straight-laced and sensible facade” that made her – and this is meant with nothing but the greatest respect to the recently departed – sexy as hell.”
So:
See what he meant?
Good Old Days

We’ve seen young Maisie Smith on these pages before (first as a teenager totty, in fact). Nowadays, of course, she’s middle-aged (Leonardo-standard) at age 24. But let’s start off with last week’s theme of her and Mum:
And just her, back in the carefree teen years:
Now, she’s all growed-up somewhat:
But she’s still quite delicious:
(that was taken in Finland, hence the hat and gloves w/bikini)
Still toothsome.
