Scan me up, Scotty

 This ad had me truly stumped for a bit.  I finally figured out that the woman is supposed to be wearing horse blinders. I admit, it's kind of a weird one.

Scanner-ific!

Marilyn the Beautiful

What kind of Fifties Love blog would I have if I didn't share some of my
favorite images of the one and only Marilyn Monroe? I began to fixate on Marilyn way back in the 70's when I was just a little thing. By the time I was 25 I had more images of Marilyn than I knew what to do with. Stacks of books, posters, t-shirts, absolute tons of Marilyn memorabilia. I started coloring my naturally medium blonde hair a beautiful, glowing platinum when I was 14. It took me two and a half decades to get over that little habit...even now I have to force myself not grab for the 'palest blonde' box of Nice-n-Easy when it comes time to wash that gray right outta my hair. Either way I pinky promised my daughters that I would stop so, enuf said. Anyway, please enjoy.

"It's all make believe, isn't it?"

"All little girls should be told they are pretty, even if they aren't."
