Welcome Back
Several people have asked me to bring back Sunday’s “Classic Beauty” feature from the old website.
As all that content has lamentably been lost to the vagaries of Teh Intarwebz, this means that I’ll have to re-create the posts from scratch.
Which means hours and hours of looking at (mostly) B&W pics of gorgeous women of yore; a job that is onerous, but which I will gladly undertake as a service to you, my Loyal Readers.
The first one, this Sunday, will start the ball rolling in no uncertain fashion.

I see with some regret that the exquisite Veronica Carlson, star in many a drive-in horror movie of my youth, passed away last week at, it should be said, a respectable age, of natural causes.
Who she? you ask. Let the camera do the talking:

I don’t think she needed nudity to be sexy: 
Another Half-Century
I’ve made passing mention of Brit TV personality Claire Sweeney before now (on her 50th birthday), but I thought it may be time for a refresher (all pics taken since her birthday):
I have to admit: for some reason I have the serious hots for this semi-centenarian chick.
Cheltenham Update
It’s Britishland; what did you expect? Decent weather?
And the Royals, of course:
Fraffly well done, chaps.
