Shy They Ain't #3



Iconista wonders again why beautiful women try so hard when men are not the hardest nuts to crack.
Iconista knows about nuts.
She's cracked a few.

Bedtime


Iconista has been resting.

Pick a bed, and climb in.

Pick of the Week



What can I say? No one's impressed Iconista this week. Try harder. She's getting bored.
In lieu of links, suck these up. All photographed by one dame, Ruth Harriet Louise. I'm sure even she had uninspired days. Probably not many. Which is why she lived the life and didn't just comment on it.




Mae Murray 1926




Loretta Young. A drip if there ever was one.

Polly Ann Young, sister of Lorretta. Now Iconista bets she wasn't drippy. Sister's never are. They have to try harder

Modernity

Iconista normally stays the far side of WWII, but these are too precious not to share.

Fingers on lips



Iconista adores Garters, but she doesn't envy her. And not just because of the hair.
Her entourage chatter like starlings.
But you, my darlings, don't talk back.
I like that.
As a reward, rest your gaze on these blessedly silent stars.

Clara, bless

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.
