8 X 9 And Looking Fine
Miss Dolly turns 72 today. In the words of my sister-in-law: If you don’t like Dolly, I don’t want to know you.
Happy Birthday To Cary Grant
Archibald Leach would have been 114 today. Ain’t he a kick in the head?
Because Elvis Could Make Even THAT Blouse Sexy
Look At Me, I’m Sandra Dee With An Ornament Pressed Up Against My Face
This Quadruple-Tiered Coat
Frankly, My Dear, I’m Going To Blow You To Smithereens

Andre The Giant Was Aptly-Named
Already 6’3″ at age 12, Andre the Giant would eventually grow to be 7’4″ and weigh 500 lbs. It’s hard to really wrap your head around that. 500 lbs! His fist looks as big as this guy’s face.
Just look at his fingers on Cary’s face.

I don’t know if Mike Douglas is more horrified to be working the register at this Jack-In-The-Box or to have 30-year-old Gene Simmons’ famous tongue too close for comfort. Cher seems unfazed.
Double Antiques
Today I read on Pollie Bland’s site that an “antique” is something made 100 years ago or more (like the still-going Olivia de Havilland and Kirk Douglas), “retro” refers to anything that looks out of style for the current time period, like 1999 light rinse jeans (not technically vintage), and “vintage” is something 20 years or older, like most of your memories. So the 70s can’t be called “retro,” because they are actually twice vintage.
