Posted on November 3, 2013 | 2 comments

And who better to show off these accouterments than our old favorite Betty Brosmer. Do women wear these things any more? A serious shame if not.

Rule 5: Betty Brosmer

Posted on October 26, 2013 | 4 comments

I’ve been badmouthing the “greatest generation’s” take on social justice lately. So just to acknowledge that they weren’t only about homophobia, racial and ethnic segregation and anti-Semitism…

Bernie at Planck’s Constant has updated this hits magnet of mine in the comments there with a link to the original (above) before it was photoshopped to be quite a bit more daring. I actually like this pre-photoshop better, though it is not the best pix of the French pop singer’s fetching face. I like to use my imagination.
