Classic Beauty: Betty Grable

I have to admit that I’ve never been a great fan of Betty Grable‘s face — that smile is too cheesy, her cheekbones too plump and prominent.

I actually prefer her face in repose:

But let’s be perfectly honest, here:  back in the 1940s, it was not her face that was insured for a million dollars (about $21 million in today’s Biden-dollars).

 

 

Worth every penny.

Battle !!!!!

This one caught my attention, oh you betcha:

I’m thinking naked, in the mud pit:

Claudia Winkleman

Fiona Bruce

Gabby Logan

Jo Whiley

Karin Giannone

Kate Silverton  — recently voted “Most Kissable Mouth in Great Britain”*

Katie Derham

Natasha Kaplinsky

Stacey Dooley

Susanna Reid
 

…oh wait;  apparently, the girls will have to fight for their jobs with screen tests.  Well, that’s a mood-killer.

Never mind.


*recently voted “Most Kissable Mouth in Great Britain” — by me.  Because it is.

Fattie

I need to start watching more Winter Olympic sports.  Here’s what prompted this statement:

The ‘world’s hottest speed skater’ Jutta Leerdam has revealed she used her ‘extra fat’ and strength to become a world champion in December. Leerdam was in action at the ISU Speed Skating World Cup in Calgary two weeks ago and impressed.

Leerdam said: “I have become stronger and heavier. I now use that extra fat as strength.”

So let’s take a look at this fat chick:

 

Gotta tell y’all, there’s not a whole lot to complain about here.  Yes, she has nutcracker thighs and a muscular ass, but she’s a speed skater, FFS:  that comes with the territory.

I personally think she’s still shy of a few pasta dinners, but that’s just my preference showing through.  YMMV.

Have Mercy

Longtime Reader Brad_In_IL sends me a link to an article about “tennis” influencer Rachel Stuhlmann.

Who she, you ask?

Now I put “tennis” in quotes because as far as I can ascertain, there are no pictures or videos extant of her actually playing tennis.

Not that I care.

I also have no idea what, exactly, this young thing (31) actually influences, but again, I don’t care.  Whatever she says is fine with me.
