It's a smoldering, celebratory day here at SSUWAT.

Bitch Has It All

Fame, talent, glamour and beauty isn't enough for Miss Diahann Carroll. She also has her own wig line...


...her own lunch box...


...her own talking doll, from crying out loud...



...not to mention some really hot leading men.


Mmmm...Fred Williamson. His nickname, back in his NFL days, was "The Hammer." Make of that what you will.





But in real life, La Carroll curiously preferred such suitors as David Frost.

Maybe you can't have it all.

A Hot Dog Makes Us Lose Control

They laugh alike, they walk alike,

At times they even talk alike

Yet they are not, apparently, created entirely equal.

Except for a brief interlude in the 1960's, Fabian displayed a refreshing inability to keep his clothes on for much of his career.

In Full Bloom

Not unlike our fond, if vague, remembrances of Chad Allen, we distinctly recall being mesmerized by Brian Bloom and his dreamy eyes back in the 1980's, though we'll be damned if we can think of exactly where and in what context we watched him. Also like Mr. Allen, we were creeped out by the adolescent pin-up photos we came across of this bloomin' beefcake from his stint as a Tiger Beat centerfold; luckily, he matured quite nicely, and we were able to use this tasteful study from a 1996 Playgirl spread.

Brian Bloom turns 38 today, and is still a handsome devil; we never watched Oz, although we're sure the sparks that flew when Bloom and Chris Meloni began a tryst must have short-circuited more than a few television sets.
