John Willie

I feel very inspired by John Willie's illustrations today
I really want this book...





John Willie is a pseudonym used by John Alexander Scott Coutts.
He is best known for his artwork in 'Bizarre', a highly collectible fetish magazine he created in the the 40's and 50's.

























He also invented the G-string tie... Here's some instructions if you should feel the need...

More marabou...

Saw this on myvintagevogue once..
Virginia Grey in a marabou robe similar to the one Betty is wearing in "The Dolly Sisters"....

The Dolly Sisters

This movie has some of the most gorgeus costumes.. and a beautiful bizarre make up song...
Starring Betty Grable and June Haver... bla, bla, bla.. Just see it!
(It also makes me want to go platinum blonde again...)















I need a marabou feather robe NOW!

Dame Elizabeth Taylor

What a lady, what a life... Still going strong!
I am ever so fascinated by this enchancing lady and her life story, affairs, marriages, curves, face, eyes, beauty and diamonds...
-Oh, and the movies off course!
Enjoy!

Cleopatra.. -the costumes in this movie OMG!!!

Toodles

Another of my favorite cartoon characters... Toodles!



Toodles is Tom's love intrest in many Tom & Jerry cartoons... here in "Casanova Cat"
Tom tries to catch her attention in many ways... Sometimes he succeeds..

Toodles was inpired by Lana Turner..
..actually by her character Bunny from "The Waldorf Bunny"



I espicially love the way she's drawn in "Springtime for Thomas"





Kiss, kiss!
