Rule 5: Anita Ekberg

Posted on December 27, 2013 | 3 comments

A famous, sometimes nude model of the 1950s, “Sylvia” in Fellini’s La Dolce Vita, and one of my pubescent fantasies. Some things we never forget. And, now, thanks to the magic of the Internet, we can’t.

UPDATE: Little story about her. I had a paper route at 13, delivering tabloids. In those days (1957) even tabloids didn’t run cheesecake so they had to deliver in words (carefully) what they couldn’t show. I remember being mesmerized by an item on how Ekberg supposedly lost her decolletage, flung her arms about herself to hold the dress up and flew to the ladies room. Concluded the copywriter: “Underneath Anita’s dress was just Anita.” I still get chills reading it.

Rule 5: Blake Lively

She’s lively, alright. Which do you prefer, the front or the back? I dunno. The back holds my attention the longest.

Via Simply Jews, where they’re certainly getting into the hang of this Rule 5 business.

Rule 5: Alexandria Lainez

My kind of gal, especially because she won a lawsuit to stop UNF from banning guns on campus. Which all but a halfwit progressive would know is only an invitation to violence. “Quick: Look Over Here, Thousands of Potential Victims.”

Note Alexandria’s pink holster. I hope she’s responsible enough to practice at a range and to be mentally ready, as all who carry should be.

UPDATE: A good guy with a gun stopped that Colorado high school shooting.

B-25 Mitchell nose art, courtesy of Planes of The Past. It’s relatively tame compared to some of the full frontal pix of the pre-PC era.

I’ve been reading Thirty Seconds Over Tokyo, then-Army Captain Ted Lawson’s 1943 tale of the training, launching, bombing and aftermath of the April, 1942 retaliation for Pearl Harbor. The language is quaint (probably scrubbed for a general audience), except when he calls the Japs inhuman. But the description of them bayoneting hospital patients in their beds justifies it. And other books I’ve read about what their Navy did to downed American pilots, i.e. interrogating them and then throwing them overboard.

On the other hand, it’s easy to spot the propaganda in the official news release in the appendix—especially the claim that their bombs fell only on military targets. The Air Force can’t do that now. I know they couldn’t then. The so-called greatest generation was no less adept at lying than we are. Still it’s a good read, and a good look at the WW2 era. I recommend it.

Rule 5: Garter belts

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…

Ta-da. Lady B. She of the real hourglass figure. I know, I know. She was one of their children, born in 1935, and so  just ten when the war ended and just 78 today. Still…
