Great Disapproving Looks #4

OK, Iconista's not been doing her homework, not the sort she can post on a blog anyway.
So this paltry pick is less "Disapproving" than "No thanks, pal."
Iconista may have to create a spin-off called The Big Chill.
It's a thought.
I shared it.
Now, ogle and move on. Iconista doesn't have all day



Don't mess with Wide Ida



He's not gonna hold out long



No one's buying it for a moment Joan, but we appreciate the effort.



Careful, Gary. The only man who ever achieved anything by sulking was Gandhi.

Something for the weekend

It's been days since Iconista's been properly kissed (the eager pecking of boys does not count). She must make do with a little vicarious smooching.

Robert Taylor and Lana Turner in Johnny Eager. Frankly, she looks a damn sight more eager than him.

Oh, go ahead. Guess.

To be honest, Iconista is bored of these two mugging for the camera, but one must get it where one can.

Coop and Neal. Nice work.

Angie Dickinson making hot with God knows who.

A Marriage of Equals

Once again Hollywood Heyday comes up trumps with Carole Lombard the feminist 

Something about photos of Lombard and Gable together suggest that theirs was a very egalitarian marriage, and the Heyday article just confirms my suspicion that Lombard would never simper to any man, even Gable. She's a damned admirable woman and Mr Gable was lucky to have her and, judging from these "candid" off-set photos, he knew it.

Who are these broads?

Answers please. I'm thinking Joan and Carole in the middle?

Pick of the Week

It's Sunday, so I thought I'd pull together and share some of the stuff Ive been enjoying this week. Just click on the pictures in the rest of this post to find out more.

Contains Some Bad Language

This is really just a follow up to my last post - thought you might like it, VP!

Who knew people swore in the 30s?

Carole Lombard: Sexiest of Hollywood's Icons?

VP at Carole & Co has just shared this delicious photo of Carole Lombard, along with the comment: (and I hope you don't mind if I quote, VP) "This publicity still was deemed so steamy that the Hays office forbade its distribution -- and this came a few months before the Code was strictly enforced. To my mind, it's the sexiest still Lombard ever made."

VP has thrown down the gauntlet...

The Hays code left me convinced that no-one before my parents' generation enjoyed sex, so I love it when I come across photos of Hollywood stars that explode this myth.

Here are the best Lombard pics I could find. Do share if you have any better.
