(Actress Louise Brooks) The Very Definition of “I Don’t Give A Damn…” I don't give a damn

I came across this article about the famous 1920s actress Louise Brooks on a blog called I Don't Give A Damn. The article is written by a guest blogger going by the name of Imogen. The Very Definition of “I Don’t Give A Damn…” I don't give a damn. And here's a YouTube slideshow I found for you to enjoy:

On Ghost Hunting Theories: Sexy Steampunk and Costume Fashions

The Ghost Hunting Theories blog has a neat post with photos of steampunk type fashion: Sexy Steampunk and Costume Fashions. I love steampunk; the fashions, the machines, -- something sexy about it to me.( I'd love to see Helen Mirren in a steampunk movie; something for the sexy older woman. I think she'd carry that off very well.) I particularly like these shoes Ghost Hunting Theories posted, but I know I couldn't wear those heels!

Elizabeth Taylor Passes

I was sad to read this morning that the last great STAR of the screen, Elizabeth Taylor, has passed away due to heart failure. Elizabeth appeared in so many dozens of great films; it's impossible to choose just one. But one role and movie I've always liked very much was Cat on a Hot Tin Roof, and Taylor's characterization of Maggie. I loved her combination of beauty and a sort of stubborn, fierce strength. Rest in peace, Ms. Taylor, thank you for all of your work and artistry through the years.

This is a clip from Gentlemen Prefer Blondes, with Marilyn Monroe and Jane Russell. In this scene, Russell (who was a sultry brunette) is pretending to be Marilyn Monroe's character.




Here is Russell singing "My Resistance is Low," with Hoagy Carmichael from The Las Vegas Story.

Australia and a hottie!

Last week I saw Australia and I have to say that I was slightly disappointed. It certainly wasn't a bad movie, but it also wasn't as great as I had hoped with both Jackman and Kidman starring.

One of the things I didn't like about it was that it is a movie with two great stories -- one of a cattle drive and the other a WWII story. Either of these tales would have made a great movie, but both of them together, one after the other, just didn't feel right to me.

The flaws aside, we have a pretty tasty romance story. And frankly, few things could be better than the half naked Jackman washing himself off out on the trail. I looked for a photo of that on the internet and had no luck.

I will also say the movie could have used some extra gratuitous nakedness and sex especially with two such great looking people in it.

Overall though -- entertaining, slightly sexy and quite a lot of adventure and romance. It is near 4 stars to me, but not quite there.

Girlie Movie Time

I would be lying if I said I enjoy most girlie movies or TV. That said there are certain girlie movies that I love and somewhere on that list is "How to marry a millionaire." It is an oldie, but goodie.

It stars Marlyn Monroe, Betty Grable and the completely awesome Loren Becall. Loren Becall is without a doubt my very favorite actress from that era. She always plays the smart, sassy, sophisticated and irresistibly beautiful woman. I have a feeling that is not far from the real Loren Becall.

OK, enough of my gushing about Loren and back to the movie --

It is a comedy in which 3 women (all beautiful models) become tired of the types of men they have been attracting and decide to get to work on attracting and marrying millionaires. The 3 rent an expensive apartment, which they can only afford because they are all chipping in and they begin their search for the millionaires. I don't want to add any spoilers for those who haven't seen it. It is enough to say it is a bit silly at times, but still completely charming and totally girlie.
