Anna Sten's cool 1939 dress
Is this a cool picture or WHAT? And, for you vintage fashion
ladies, is that a cool dress? Uh-huh. And it's a cool pose and a
cool pool and...well...I mean, everything's just really, uh, cool
about it. This is Anna Sten in a publicity photo for the 1939
film Exile Express. I know, I know what you're going to say.
You're going to say it violates the No Heels at the Pool Rule.
And, yeah, you're right, of course. But, hey, it's my rule, and
I can break it when I feel like it.
Key words: Advance, apron, Burda, Butterick dress pattern, DuBarry, Hollywood, McCall vintage dress pattern, McCall's, Paris original, retro fashion, sewing pattern, Simplicity, vintage dress, vintage fashion, Vogue dress pattern, zippo lighter
A girl and a good horse. . .
A girl and a good horse are the two things a
cowboy needs. And maybe a good rifle. Okay,
three things. A girl, a good horse, and a rifle. And
maybe a good pair of boots. Oh, and a canteen.
And a good saddle and some cartridges for the
rifle. And spurs and a bottle of sipping whiskey.
Okay, seven things then. Wait! Wait!
All a real cowboy really needs is a good horse,
a bad girl, and a credit card.
. . .and maybe a pickup truck.

Waking on the Wright side of the bed
Dana Andrews wakes up to Teresa Wright after a night
of troubled sleep in The Best Years of Our Lives (1946).
A Brief Michele Carey Alert
There are several photos of Sixties sweetheart
Michele Carey for sale this week on eBay. Mmmmm.....
(Sometimes you've got to check it as "Michelle.")
Linda Darnell and her Lucky Strikes
(Note the Buffalo China cup.)
Unfortunately, Linda died in a house fire in
1965, probably caused by careless smoking.
