I see Google is currently honoring the 116th birthday of one of the most innovative fashion designers of all time...the amazing Edith Head! I say we do the same!
Happy Birthday, Edith! ...I wish I knew ya...
And with her spirit in mind, I just know YOU are going to love this clip featuring a young, innocent and utterly charming Audrey Hepburn
screen-testing a few of Edith's creations from Roman Holiday!Ciao, darlings!!
Hey, all you Able Grables and Hunks o'Heartbreak...do you love noggin-bopping and pigtail-pulling? Do you consider yourself quite the Pepper Shaker? Well, all-reet! Here's a cute instructional video for the Jitterbug...The Dance of Modern Youth...which, I feel, must be revived immediately, along with colorful lingo like "Rusty Dusty" and "Dislocate your dream-box, Bud"! Ok, Worm...let's squirm!
Time again for another thrilling Danse Apache! This one features a little lady by the name of Cicely Courtneidge, an actress and comedienne who has just become my newest idol! Look at her go!
How about that for some stage combat? What fortitude! Cicely started her career in 1911, performing in Edwardian musical comedies popular at the time. During WWI,she frequented those racy music halls, learning the comedy craft and playing in a variety of comic operas and revues. The fabulous thing about her is that she was able to maintain her popularity throughout most of the century, celebrating an amazing 70 years on the stage in 1971 and continuing on five more years until finally retiring. What a gal!
Here's what they thought of Miss Cicely when she hit her stride in 1918...There was about her a buoyancy and gaiety, an indefinable zest, which held the attention. With her tuneful voice, forceful humour, and vital personality, no one knew better how to get the right song across to an audience. Gee..that sounds alot like Gams Galore, wouldn'cha say? Heh.
See the mountains kiss high heaven
And the waves clasp one another
No sister flower could be forgiven
If it disdained its brother ~
And the sunlight clasps the earth,
And the moonbeams kiss the sea
What are all these kissings worth,
If thou kiss not me?
Poem taken from Love's Philosophy ~ Percy Bysshe Shelley
It's lovely Lili St. Cyr languishing in her own private beach oasis while porn music plays...enjoying a sensual feast of purple grapes and wild banana...striking poses and throwing her silken scarves to the four winds...humping the cushions while fantasizing about whatever it is she's fantasizing about to that music...
Little does she know that some idiot riding his horse along the beach has discovered her secret hideaway (!) and will soon be trudging in with his dirty boots, messing everything up and getting sand all over the place! Sheesh. Can't a girl have a little privacy??
Whaddaya say we skip the Sunday sermon today, slip back into our slippers, sip a satisfying second cup of coffee, settle back and enjoy sultry songstress Joi Lansing singing seductively while sporting a selection of scanty sixties swimsuits! Relax! It's The Silencer!
It's never too late to start looking smart! I'm puzzled though...why does a gentlemanly voiceover suggest lightening up on the lipstick? And I can't help feeling awfully sorry for Sue, who must miss the exhilaration of wearing red nail enamel...all because of her stubby hands! One thing that she's got going on, though, is those wonderful floral jammies with matching do-rag! And am I imagining things, or do those jammies also coordinate with her bed's dust-ruffle? Cute! I'd trade my nice slim hands with their long red nails for that ensemble!
First tarantulas...now jitterbugs! Here's glamorous gal Lucille Ball doin' a little bit o' burly-Q in Dance Girl, Dance! This is so-o-o-o cute it's been grabbed up a buncha times on my new Tumblr blog...which I'm already thoroughly, completely and utterly addicted to.
I'd be tickled pink if you'd stop by for a visit...I put up lots of B&W pics of beauteous babes and bitches...sometimes following a stream of consciousness, sometimes for no rhyme or reason...and sometimes I rhyme for no reason! Why? Because I'm a Picky Li'l Bitch, that's why!
Blanche invites all her BFFs over for a sleepover with some sexy girls...but...what on earth is everybody screeching about?? Tarantulas just wantula have fun!
Thank you for visiting! I am your hostess, Gams Galore...a glamorous gal with an eye for the finer things in life, from vintage to visionary! Here you'll find a variety of images and ideas, lovingly compiled to delight and inspire your imagination. Enjoy!
