The Varsity Drag Dress Miasma

This post started as merely an appreciation of the great dress that June Allyson wore in the Varsity Drag number from Good News (1947), and then it sort of devolved into a heavy-breathing study of her petite (5'1") long-waisted (99-pound) figure with its well-turned legs and peep-toe heels, and then...well...
...it just kind of ended with pictures of June before she got all sensible with those 1950s short hair styles. Hey, I just like her, okay?

(Like you even asked for an explanation, right?)

June in February

Yeah, I realize that a lot of you just can't stand June Allyson, who stole Dick Powell away from Joan Blondell and hawked adult diapers in TV commercials and was pretty annoying in some of her 1940s comedies. Me, I loathe her awful pageboy haircuts from the 1950s and most of her squinty-eyed publicity pictures and the way she ran around like a rabid chipmunk in a lot of her films. But I like this photograph just fine. So...deal with it, okay?
