Bombshells: Alexandra Bastedo

While English actress Alexandra Bastedo (1946–2014) really burst onto the scene after the heyday of the Blonde Bombshell in cinema, we all know the Blonde Bombshell never really went away. Survey any point in cinematic history and you’ll find scads of bodacious blondes lighting up movie screens with their incandescent beauty. Speaking of incandescence, Bestado … Continue reading Bombshells: Alexandra Bastedo →

Lost and Found: The Night Before

In which young and hot Keanu Reeves accidentally sells young and hot Lori Loughlin to a pimp! Also in which young and hot Lori Loughlin is chained to a bed in nothing but her sexy prom night bra and panties!

Bombshells: Vera Day

English bombshell Vera Day (August 4, 1935) was once touted as Britain's answer to Marilyn Monroe. The absurdly photogenic and stunningly buxom blonde was certainly a looker during her prime acting years in the 1950s. Like many bombshells, Day eventually segued out of acting, but reappeared over the years here and there, most notably in Lock, … Continue reading Bombshells: Vera Day →

Late Night Memories: Lenora’s Midnight Rentals

This one’s pretty much a cheat, because Lenora’s Midnight Rental is actually a current horror hosting show. Obviously, I can’t have any nostalgic memories of it because it’s brand new to me. It’s been running on YouTube for a year or so now, but only recently crossed my radar. And boy howdy am I glad … Continue reading Late Night Memories: Lenora’s Midnight Rentals →

Bombshells: Mara Corday

The raven-haired Corday, who turned 94 … Continue reading Bombshells: Mara Corday →

Michelle Monday: Wolf at 30

One of my favorite Michelle Pfeiffer pfilms, Wolf, opened thirty years ago today, June 17, 1994. Wow. I swear to you, it was yesterday. There I sat, in a crowded theater, gazing upward, spellbound by Michelle’s utterly luminous visage. I was transfixed, residing firmly under her spell for the entire two hours, while my buddy … Continue reading Michelle Monday: Wolf at 30 →

Bad Girls We Love: Catwoman from The Dark Knight Rises

“It’s an ‘Ooops’ dripping in sexiness and insincerity, coming as it does after Christian Bale’s Bruce Wayne interrupts her in the middle of a heist and before she dons her leather or rubber catsuit. The ‘Ooops’ and its Jean Harlow naughty-girl reading come early in the film and the rest of Hathaway’s performance seems to … Continue reading Bad Girls We Love: Catwoman from The Dark Knight Rises →
