100 Years of Shapewear

Check out this great video about the evolution of shape wear and under garments from the 1900s to now! 

RIP to the great Burt Reynolds

So sad to just hear of the passing of Burt Reynolds. He defined what it meant to be a "man's man" for an entire generation. Many a teen girl ( and boy) caught sight of his famous bear skin rug photo and became an adult...Burt will be remembered for many different film roles from Deliverance to Smokey and the Bandit to Best Little Whorehouse in Texas. 

Rest In Peace Burt (and thanks for helping to keep mustaches in style, no one wore it like you.)

RIP to Aretha Franklin-The Queen of Soul

I was so sad to hear that Aretha Franklin lost her battle with pancreatic cancer yesterday. She was rightly called The Queen of Soul music whose influence changed not only soul music but R&B music as whole.

Born in March of 1942, Aretha began her singing career as a gospel singer in church like most early soul singers. She had one of the longest and most sucessful careers of any female solo artist. You can read more about her here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aretha_Franklin

You can watch her iconic performances in the Blues Brothers films here as well! What is your favorite Aretha Franklin tune?

Can ya help a gal out?

I decided on a whim to enter The Pinup Registry's Pin Up of the Month Contest! Please head over to their Facebook page ( here: https://www.facebook.com/thepinupregistry/) and give my picture a like to support me and this blog! Thanks!

XOXOXO Vicki

Happy (Belated) Birthday to Lucille Ball!

Happy belated birthday to Lucille Ball! Actress, comedian, and producer Lucy is and was a true Hollywood star! 

Before becoming an actress Lucy worked as a model. No denying this beauty!

Her classic look, very arched brows and her "red" hair!

What a smart and capable lady Lucy was, without her we would have no Star Trek!

So many girls try to emulate her classic lip shape!

Probably my favorite sketch from her hit show "I Love Lucy".
