Got Those Monday Blues?

The unbeatable combination of hats, highballs and haute couture can cure anything.

Lustre-Creme

For that radiant, immobile look.

Born on This Day

Elizabeth Ashley (August 30, 1939) and Joan Blondell (August 30, 1906 - December 25, 1979), and their hair.

Still Dead

Miss Inger Stevens (1934 - 1970)

Miss Vera-Ellen (1921 - 1981)

Miss Edie Adams (1927 - 2008)

Miss Sandra Dee (1942 - 2005)

Miss Sheree North (1932 - 2005)

The Fairy Godmother of us all, Thombeau, inspires us in many ways, most of them insane. For instance, he recently reminded us that Stella Stevens, Mitzi Gaynor, Ruta Lee, Carol Lynley and Mamie Van Doren are, in fact, still alive. Which naturally also reminded us that Inger Stevens, Vera-Ellen, Edie Adams, Sandra Dee and Sheree North are, in fact, still dead.

Casual Friday

Go on: be the laziest gal in town...as our darling Thombeau says, 'tis divine to recline!

Don't Be Too Hard on the Beaver

Long ago and far away, Tony Dow was the Big Brother we'd want watching us.

Why Do We Keep it Permanently 1962 Around Here?

THIS is why. We apologize. We now return to our regular programming.

Back to 1962

Now, that's more like it.

It's Hump Day!!!!

Maxwell Caulfield will celebrate with an interpretive dance.

Ebony & Ivory

Someday, they'll be together.

Roz

Doin' what comes naturally.

One Day at a Time

We're one step closer to reaching the Valley of the Dahl: we have vowed to henceforth no longer dangle a cigarette from the corner of our mouths while we make a left turn; and to always depend upon a man to tell us if we look good in a Granny dress.

This will no doubt help us find a man as dependable as Chad Everett, co-star of MGM's The Singing Nun.

She Wants to Be Glamorous

Sixteen reasons and a shag later...

He Tarzan, She Jayne...

...but Mickey seems to only have eyes for Boy.

(Not that we blame him; that bespectacled cutie reminds us a lot of our favorite NILF's!)

Yes, Poppets, We're Back...

...and, my, you're saying, how we've changed. It's been an exhausting summer, darlings. We have, however, taken up a new regimen guaranteed to turn us into the ever-youthful, always vibrant, eternally glamorous Arlene Dahl in no time.




We'll let you know as soon as it lands us a Lex Barker or Fernando Lamas - but, of course, that might bring on another hiatus.

Darlings...

...we've taken a little more time off from the blog than expected, but we're sure you understand.

Summer Vacation

Darlings, we're taking a brief hiatus from posting for a while. Not terribly long; just enough to recharge our fabulosity batteries. We'd also like to send birthday wishes out to a dedicated follower of SSUWAT!

See you soon, possums!

Summer Reading

Last year, we spotlighted some of our favorite blogs and bloggers. In case you don't remember, this road map to fabulosity led you to: the legendary Fabulon, now reincarnated as Chateau Thombeau; midwestern glamour at Doing Hard Time in Shaker Heights; the jet-setting splendor that is Savoir Faire; fashion and design served up with a side of va-va-va-voom at Stella's Roar; the notorious j*o*e*, whose hell is definitely not for children; beautification from Vintage a Go-Go; the fine Italian hand of Suffering Fools Badly; classy asses from SissyDude; the babe of the bayou, the Cajun cutie, the Louisiana hayride himself, Jason of Night is Half Gone; Infomaniac, run by our resident headmistress (or mistress of head), MJ; Mean Dirty Pirate, or Reflections of a Lot Lizard; the blessedly-restored Cafe Muscato; the sophisticated snark that is the one, the only, Mr. Peenee; a Lethal Dose of hairhopping mayhem; and Our Mr. Brooks over at An Open Book. A late addition to this honor roll was Poseidon's Underworld, which is the nicest thing one can read the morning after. Today, we add another clutch of marvelous blogs to the list, some of which you already know and love, and some of which may be new to you. There are many, many more to be found on our Links; we wish we had the time to pay tribute to you all. Rest assured, a place among our links means we endorse you wholeheartedly! And if there are any blogs you crazy kids know of that we have yet to discover, please pass them along to us. Have fun exploring, darlings!
