Art, music, whatever
I was watching The Bachelor and the Bobbysoxer the other night (for about the tenth time), and once again was struck by the beauty of Myrna Loy.
As a silent star, she was girlish:
…and then she grew up into the early 1930s-era of cute, witty and sexy women:
…and finally blossomed into full, sophisticated womanhood:
And she did all this despite having had the world’s worst hairstyles inflicted on her.
Gorgeous.
I see that Carmen Electra just had a birthday, and I have to admit that she’s not bad for a 50-year-old broad:
However, no amount of sexiness, hotness or other such descriptors can overcome the heritage of once having been Mrs. Dennis Rodman:
Hard pass.
One of the few actresses (or actors) of the time who got exponentially wealthier after she retired from acting — and not by marriage, either. None of that’s important, because whoa:
Not to mention her sensational legs:
Oh…and did I mention that she was also a dancer?
Dancer, actor, Playboy pinup (in the days when there were no airbrushes or Photoshop)… and lifelong buddy of Clint Eastwood.
Oh, that Playboy spread, you ask?
One of the most beautiful women ever. David Niven once said of her that “she glowed”, and I’m not going to argue with him.
We’ll look at her sister at a later date…
Here’s a woman after my own heart:
A real estate agent has revealed how she’s amassed a $10,000 vintage clothes collection – because she’s obsessed with living like she’s in the 1940s. Gwendolyn Erin Patterson, 25, from Dallas, Texas, says she’s so fixated with wearing wartime fashion that she now refuses to leave her house unless she’s sporting glamorous attire from the Second World War era. The 25-year-old even wed her beau, Sam, also a huge 1940s fan, in a Second World War-style wedding two years ago – but admits that sometimes people assume she’s wearing fancy dress. The vintage fashion fan admits that her unique style has garnered some strange looks on occasion but says that her glamorous head-to-toe wartime look also gets lots of compliments.
Here she is:
I think she looks gorgeous.
