Morticia Addams





Morticia Addams was the alternative housewife, she loved her family, dressed well for her husband and took care of her appearance. Actually her character was a typical 50s wife in morals, who just liked Goth, shes my Halloween Inspiration.

How to Marry A Millonaire




This is one of my hapy films, three women out to snare a millonaire, not at any point are these women catergoised as gold diggers, their just women who want to better themselves. Their is no talk of feminism and women having their own career's. It says exactly on the tin, enjoy.

Jayne Mansfield





The something about Jayne Mansfield, its not just her unusual measurements, but it is the sparkle in her eyes. The only film that I have seen in full is the Girl Cant Help It! Its probably her best work, the film is light hearted and fun, and she plays the comedian, parodying the image the press have off her. The clothes are amazing too and only enhance her innocent sexuality.
The only other film I have seen her act in, is The Sheriff of Fractured Jaw, frankly she plays a blonde bit of fluff with a breathless wispy voice. In one scene she wears a plaid dress, and shes so corseted underneath that her breast look like two heat seeking missiles, during this scene by the river, their so much innuendo at her expense its embrassing, it feels so personal!
I wonder how she would feel, if she was alive today? That her movies have became a bit of a joke and her image too.
Many women would like to imitate the look of Marilyn Monroe, Audrey Hepburn, Greta Garbo, but Jayne Mansfield?

The Notorious Bettie Page







I have been thinking about immortality, what would you do to be remembered? Some people go on reality shows, flash the flesh and ride the wave of fame.
Today's glamour stars are so obvious, they lack the class and innocence of women like Bettie Paige.

The Dolly Sisters





This is one of Dita Von Teese's favourite films and based on that I wanted to buy it and you can see why its total fantasy, the set the clothes, the hair! She modelled one of her stage performances on one of the scenes. Her next show should be about eyes, Im convinced it would be a success, you know all eyes on Dita! After all she's already done the lipstick, made rodeo to give it a kick and the powder compact.

Miss Roe loves

If I could remake myself I would be Miss Lola Roe.
I would dress in tight clothing and improbably high heels.
I would paint my face, so that I may seduce the sun.
To look upon me would be an invituation to the pit.
And on my tombstone would read "she fans the flames of fire".
