More randomness for your viewing pleasure. For this lucky 13th post in the series, I’ve selected 13 black and white photos. Black and white always conveys a certain vintage appeal, while also feeling utterly timeless. Susanna Hoffs: Huge crush. I repeat: HUGE.

Random Image Dump #12: The Sweater Girl
For this Random Image Dump, a brief history lesson might be in order. This post is all about a sexy (and maybe sexist?) 1940s–1950s fashion trend that originated in Hollywood: that’s right, it’s The Sweater Girl craze. As we round the corner into autumn next month, it seems like a good time to reflect on … Continue reading Random Image Dump #12: The Sweater Girl
Random Image Dump # 11: Gillian Anderson’s Wildest ‘90s Photoshoots Edition
In the 1990s, The X-Files star Gillian Anderson—who turns 55 tomorrow, August 9th—swapped her character Agent Dana Scully’s buttoned up work clothes for some outlandishly fabulous attire in several different photoshoots.

Random Image Dump #8: Showgirls-Era Elizabeth Berkley Edition
We’re big fans of Nomi Malone here at the Starfire Lounge. Sure, she tore through the place like a demonic hurricane from hell when she stripped, er, danced here, but that display of raw power only made us fall a little more in love with her. Nomi is a Starfire Lounge Hall of Famer, for … Continue reading Random Image Dump #8: Showgirls-Era Elizabeth Berkley Edition
Series A-Go-Go
Recently, I mentioned having a number of posts queued up for the next several months. Interestingly, many of them are part of different series. By my count, I have about seven series running concurrently here at the Starfire Lounge. This surprised me to learn, as it was never my intent to turn this site into … Continue reading Series A-Go-Go
