    Marilyn without make up!

    She was so photogenic, wasn't she, with or without makeup, blonde or brunette? I was a bit unnerved after watching so many pictures pass by of her, so gorgeous and full of life, and then that penultimate shot of her grave...shudder.

    Favorite scary Radio Show

    The other day I came across an old radio show, 70's I think, called "Peoria Plague". Not OTR, obviously, but very much done in old-school style. I think it was meant as an homage to "War of the Worlds", done very much in that style, with a living dead type of theme. One of the best and...

    How Did You Discover Old Time Radio?

    And your first sentence brought back to me the memory of taking the radio into a dark closet and listening to it in there! (I think it was broadcast during the day...and yes, I was a pretty weird kid!) I'd forgotten that!

    Unpopular movie opinions...

    I know I dislike the look of shot on video films, but I can't figure out why! Can someone please educate me?!

    Darin Magaven

    There were so many super horror-type made for TV films and series made at that period. I was too young at the time to appreciate them now so I've been trying to rediscover them. I've always remembered and loved "The Night Stalker" series, "Night Gallery" and "Dark Shadows", but one which...

    Unpopular movie opinions...

    Someone else on the Lounge with this guilty pleasure, eh?! Mr. Clift always seemed to kind of rutch around a lot and look vaguely uncomfortable, as if he had piles or something... I would take elocution lessons if I could get a voice like Jean Arthur (and plastic surgery if I could get...

    Not feeling like myself

    Fair dos, she actually had a valid point - we were doing slow foxtrot and she couldn't actually swing her legs through properly to get her driving step. The skirt is lined and the lining tends to bunch up a bit sometimes. So Paisley, your Tango observation wasn't far off! From now on, I'll...

    So Annoyed!!

    I have the horrible feeling that image (i.e. the virtual representation of a person, photo, video, video game etc.) passes for reality for way too many people, and when confronted with real flesh and blood human/animal, like you say there seems to be some kind of disconnect. I can't bear...

    Not feeling like myself

    I was wearing a (obviously!) below-the-knee A-line the other day in dance class, and the instructor with whom I was dancing had a complaint that she couldn't pass her legs through mine because it was hampering her movement, so she requested that I roll it up from the waist for the time being...

    Vintage-Inspired clothing lines

    Someone posted the ModeMerr new designs earlier but I can't find the post. I think it was in MM's Facebook album. I'm keeping a beady eye on her website as they're supposed to go on some time this month.

    did men shave their heads in the golden era?

    He bears a certain resemblance to Yul Brynner, does Mr. Clean. Who, come to think of it, shaved his head, didn't he?

    Swankiest flicks?

    I'm thinking Art Deco opulence, Cedric Gibbons-designed sets, more 30's?

    Unpopular movie opinions...

    At least Ebert had a hand in "Beyond the Valley of the Dolls" (guilty pleasure :rolleyes:). Medved, well, I'd best not go there...

    Unpopular movie opinions...

    I liked Plan 9 too. In fact, I like quite a few Ed Wood films. They have heart.

    I can't wait for the new ModeMerr stuff to hit the website - there were some droolworthy pieces in the preview. (Ladies, outta my way - the tartan skirt is MINE! )lol

    Where Do You Think Men Should Shave?

    I have a great tendency toward prudery as well, but I find fascinating the spectrum of opinion about things like this (i.e. men's grooming habits). About anything, really. To me it just shows a wonderful diversity of thought to which I might not necessarily be exposed (no pun intended at all)...

    Unpopular movie opinions...

    Tom Cruise, A-lister? I wouldn't even have that one on my Z-list (and normally I groove on shorter gents). I think he's got less charisma than a pet rock, and roughly as much acting ability. Franchot Tone is another matter. A hint of one of those cheeky grins of his and I go weak at the...

    Golden Era songs with off-color subjects.

    Cheers! By the way, I love this thread! Smut, but with STYLE and CLASS! :D
