Jayne Mansfield with a rotary dial telephone full of bling on the January 1958 cover of Modern Man mag. It’s enough to make your teenage daughter go blind with jealousy. And we don’t just mean for the phone bling either. (You’d better keep this away from your sons too; they could make themselves go blind too.)
Jean Arthur and pup in 1939 ‘s Smith Goes to Washington.

But in her defense, no one wanted to pose for creepy Uncle Edgar.
I love the floral wallpaper and the chenille bedspread though.

Her sucker says, “I Ate The Whole Thing!” but what really gives the photo its zing is the fact that this pinup poses on a Mattel Big Wheel.

I have an odd fascination for these pin ups posing with stuffed animals. This particular photo comes from bondman2.

We just had to put our sweet dog, Ween, to sleep on Sunday, so this post is particularly tender and bitter sweet; after all, Theda’s pup is a dead as she is. (I’m not the only one who thinks these things.)
Plus, this gives me the opportunity to plug my post about Theda Bara and other silent film news.
What an opulent setting!
I normally don’t even look at JFK stuff; everyone saved all their Kennedy stuff, so the Age Of Camelot memorabilia is quite common. But when I spotted this 1962 Dell Purse Book, # 4160, The Jacqueline Touch, I had to pick it up because it seemed so unique to me.
I was rewarded with six pages of “First Lady Dos” — which I now share with you!
