Try This On For Size

"Kim's gotten too big for her...britches." -- Barbara Nichols on Kim Novak

Menswear Minxes

Divinely decadent in any decade.

Dollars and Cents...

...Nichols and dames.

Good Time Gal

If Barbara Nichols shows up in some mediocre movie you're watching late at night - suddenly, you know that you're in for a good time. We miss you, Babs!

Good Time Gal

Just shake those maracas,

and you'll find

Tits and ass can change your life...

THANKS

Miss Her

BARBARA NICHOLS
December 30, 1929 - October 5, 1976

Nichols & Dames

She had a body that could stop traffic, and a voice that could shatter glass; the brass and sass of a cynical showgirl, and the melancholy and vulnerability of every hard-knocks dame with the proverbial heart o' gold who ever strutted across the screen. She was, of course, Miss Barbara Nichols, who was unique in her niche as Hollywood's only character actress-cum-sex symbol: she could crack wise, spoof the dumb blonde stereotype, or play tough, all while heaving that bodacious bosom.

Miss Nichols passed away, too soon, in 1976. We miss her, and hereby place her among the Patron Saints of Stirred, Straight Up, with a Twist.

Make No Mistake...

...these bitches mean business.

Meet the Artist

Our friend, Stephen B. Whatley, is a phenomenal artist. He does lovely abstracts, portraits, landscapes and still life; but of course, we best love his whimsical, affectionate, glamorous cartoon tributes to the leading ladies of bygone Hollywood. This is his Classic Ladies in the 1970's, featuring everyone from The Gabors to Virginia Mayo -- click to enlarge and fully enjoy. You can see more of Steven's beautiful art here.
