Things I like from Alex99a

It was quite a party.

Now though, everyone else has left. She's picked Jazz Loves Paris from Buddy Collette and his combo to help us unwind.

Enjoy your evening's entertainment.

Uh, apparently nothing.

Bettie just wants to spend a quiet evening reading the Sunday papers.

As you wish!

Enjoy your evening's entertainment.

Diane is back in the wok again. Is it my imagination or are these getting smaller each time?

--------------------------------------

It seems to me that I have seen shots of Diane bathing in a barrel like Bunny last week, so I set out in search of one for tonight, but for the life of me I can't find them. I did come across one poor-quality calendar illustration...

... but that's the best I could come up with. I'll keep looking.

Kim has her own technique to ensure that the bubbly is at exactly the perfect temperature.

I've posted this one before, but I've found some more context.

This is from the burlesque revue "Minsky Goes To Paris", which was the first Vegas show with topless showgirls. It opened in January '57 at the Dunes Resort and was featured at various other Vegas venues until the early seventies. Photo by Hy Peskin.

The Dunes opened on May 23 1955, closed on January 26 1993, and was imploded on October 27, 1993. The Bellagio, with its renowned fountains, opened on the former Dunes site in 1998.

PS... the girls here are wearing flesh-colored bodysuits, so relax, ok? :)

Here's Bunny setting up for a shot...

...adjusting framing and focus and exposure.

Here's the picture she had in mind.

Before she stepped in front of her camera she added the mirror beside it so she could adjust and refine her pose.

I've had the first pic in my collection forever and have no doubt posted it several times. Today I thought to look for the shot she was setting up for, and a search for "Bunny in black lingerie" paid off.

Part of the challenge of posting when there is limited source material is finding interesting new ways to present what you may have posted before. I think this worked out rather nicely, don't you?

Barbara Norden has picked the soundtrack to the 1964 Beatles film A Hard Day's Night.

Great!

I like the Beatles music from their earlier years when it was bright and fun and cheerful. Their material became pompous, turgid and preachy later on, and I'll pass on that.

Enjoy your evening’s entertainment.

She's picked some classic vinyl, Physical Graffiti from Led Zeppelin, 1975.

Good choice! It's a double album, so there's a full evening of music. "Ten Years Gone" and "In My Time Of Dying" are my favorite tracks.

Enjoy your evening's entertainment.

Spanish actress Nieves Navarro as MI5 agent Alina Shakespeare from the 1966 Eurospy comedy Kiss Kiss Bang Bang, not to be confused with the 2006 Robert Downy Jr. action crime comedy of the same name, written and directed by Shane Black.

Everything on the "ThingsILikeAlex99A" blog gets the mature label put on it. Everything, even if the material itself is totally family-friendly. I made the decision to do that when I started the blog. Even tho nothing I post there is all that explicit, I'd rather err on the side of safety to keep material that young persons should not view out of their hands.

Why then, when I see posts from this blog in my timeline, do they have THIS on them, nearly every time...

Tumblr, you didn't have to review ANYTHING. There WAS a "mature" content label on that post when I made it, I SPECIFICALLY put it on. I always do. WHY do you keep hitting me with these insulting "we reviewed your post" notices? I know the rules, and I play by them.

I also resent you putting a locked notice on my posts that I cannot change.

If the board system is smart enough to detect material that might be mature in nature, why is it too stupid to look and see if there is already a "mature" label on it?

Please fix this.

(ps, no "mature" label on this as I want everyone to see it to raise awareness of the issue)

Hammer Films scream queen Ingrid Pitt from The Vampire Lovers, 1970.

Ingrid also did films from other genres...

Here she is playing German bar-maid/British secret agent Heidi Schmidt in the 1968 WWII thriller Where Eagles Dare alongside Richard Burton (shown here) and Clint Eastwood.
