The Great Nerd Showdown

Who's the hottest 1950's nerd-slash-hunk: ventriloquist Paul Winchell; television personality Robert Q. Lewis; or announcer George Fenneman? Donna Lethal will no doubt join us in tallying the votes and test-driving the contestants. May the best bow tied, Brylcreemed, bespectacled stud win!

Frazzled?

We are, and it's only two days into the work week! But fear not - we're cooking up a fresh batch of fabulosity for you. Stay tuned, darlings!

Last Night...

...we had a bizarre dream about Random House publisher/What's My Line? pundit and punster Bennett Cerf.

Noonanism Strikes Again

Undoubtedly, the strangest crush we've had around here is on 1950's and 1960's television personality, Robert Q. Lewis. We just love his geeky-yet-sophisticated charm, and his trademark glasses are fabulous. Robert Q. Lewis (the self-appointed middle initial stood for "anything you want!", as he put it) was also reputedly a "confirmed bachelor," wink wink.

So that's what the "Q" stood for.
