Michelle Monday

While I would normally advise against covering up Michelle Pfeiffer’s mesmerizing baby blues, there’s no denying she looked pretty rad in these sunglasses, which she wore as Elvira Hancock in Scarface (1983). Michelle looks positively delectable in this glamorous ensemble. If the white jacket/slit-skirt combo is the sundae, then the shades are the cherry on … Continue reading Michelle Monday →

Grease 2 (1982) turned forty-three back on June 11. To celebrate (a little late, I know), here’s Michelle in all of her majestic resplendence as Stephanie Zinone, a character I just adore. Michelle’s charisma in in the role is off the charts! Guh! She so freakin’ dreamy.

And of course, when I think … Continue reading Michelle Monday →

Although she’d been acting for several years at that point, the ditzy Blanche was Tilly’s breakout film role. Blanche is one of the … Continue reading The Fabulous Tilly →

May Queen

In the British Isles and parts of the Commonwealth, “the May Queen” is a personification of the May Day holiday of May 1st, and of the rebirth and renewal of springtime and the coming growing season. So, what does that have to do with the image above of a scorching hot woman in a slinky, form-fitting dress? Nothing, … Continue reading May Queen →

To Michelle on Her 67th Birthday

Today, on our Queen and Savior Michelle Pfeiffer’s 67th birthday, I couldn’t help play off the title of one of her lesser-referenced films, To Gillian on Her 37th Birthday (1996). Adapted by Michelle’s hubby David E. Kelley from a play, Gillian centers on a father (Peter Gallagher) and daughter (Claire Danes) still struggling to process … Continue reading To Michelle on Her 67th Birthday →
