Koo Koo Kachoo, Mrs. Carmichael

"Lucy, honey, are you tryin' to seduce me?"

Miss Dinah Shore

With a Cockatoo and a cockamamie dress.

Through Four Decades...

...Dinah, and her hair and teeth, were a Shore thing on television.

The Happening

We can only dream that Lucy croaked out "Love Child."

Ebony & Ivory

Someday, they'll be together.

Study of a Lady

Alternately titled, Sequins, Pearls and Bouffant in Repose.

Isn't it Ironic...

...that a woman who did nearly as much as Loretta Young to glamorize television should become the namesake for the Biggest Lesbian Weekend of the Year? Not that there's anything wrong with that.

Lonesome Larks

George Montgomery

Also known as Mr. Dinah Shore.



No wonder she always seemed so perky.

TV Makes For Strange Bedfellows

The unlikely trio of singer Dinah Shore, dancer/entertainer Gwen Verdon, and boxing champ Ingemar Johansson, performing on Dinah's show in 1959.







Of course, everyone knows Dinah for her contribitions to television, recording, and the national lesbian pasttime (golf, not whitewater rafting); and La Verdon for her legendary Broadway career. Ingemar isn't revered today, but he was quite the celebrity during the 1950's and early 1960's (until his title-losing defeat to Floyd Patterson in 1962), owing as much to his Swede-next-door good looks as to his athletic prowess. Of course, he filled out a pair of trunks very nicely, which is pretty much all we demand of our sports heroes here at Stirred, Straight Up, with a Twist.

WTF?

Three of our favorite gals, Kay Starr, Lana Turner and Dinah Shore, doing something we can't quite describe.
