That Doris!
She's not just glamorous, humorous and sexy.
She's also wonderfully efficient. She managed to get the
wash out on the line before the photographers showed up!
What a gal.

The Mystery Gets Revealed!
There! You see! You see what I mean! I should just really get out of this mystery business once and for all.
On the 3rd at 6:56 am I posted this mystery photo:
At 6:59, exactly 3 minutes later (do you people lie in wait or something?) that Mean- Dirty-Pirate, AyeM8y guess correctly when he said Gene Tierney. Of course then he cleverly (and pirates are clever, make no mistake) tried to throw everyone off track by saying that Tierney, as a guess, would be too easy. Well his ruse worked. Until it didn't. At 4:21 pm on the 5th, Jon chimed in and agreed.
First of all let me just say, easy my ass! I stared at that picture for twenty minutes before I finally saw Tierney in it. This is the Gene Tierney I know:
You know, the girl whose beauty is so interplanetary that it's almost disturbing. It took me forever to find her in that fresh faced, pretty little thing above. I suppose if there's a lesson here it's this: For those of you who think that all of the hard work we do over at the Hair Hall Of Fame is frivolous, I have just four words for you - HAIR AND MAKE UP!!!!
That said, the only thing left, is to proclaim the Pirate today's Smartest Boy In The Class.

For Eva....
My dear and luscious friend L'il Eva has cautioned me (and rightly so) for my lack of Barbara Stanwyck coverage. Like I need an excuse to gaze upon the wonders of Missy!
So here is a beginning to my amends darling:
Funny, I always thought the first shot was merely a crop of the second. But what's this! Slightly different angle of the head - and completely different background.
Anyway you slice it, she's a dish.

Miss Crawford...
...comes to, in the same spot she passed out last night, looking fresh as a daisy to wish us all a Happy New Year!
I must ask her how many toilet seat covers it took to do those stairs.
