Bewitching Visions

An autumnal, Halloween feast for your hungry eyes. Mangia, and Happy Halloween. Actress Edie Adams was a total smokeshow. Those legs deserve all treat, no trick. She can put a spell on us any day.

Boy howdy, she had a spectacular set of knockers. I dare say her death scene is one of the hottest ever filmed—yes, that’s what I said. From those perky nipples and … Continue reading Hot Shots of the Week: Totally →
