KLEM FM

"These wonderful things are the things we remember all through our lives"
That recording is 50 years old and still I never tire of it. I associate it with those great Firestone and Goodyear Christmas albums from the 1960's that my parents would play on the console stereo this time of year. Plus there's something about the singers' chemistry and counter-melody duet.

Gormé was quite a looker in her day:


She passed away just last year. Her husband, Steve Lawrence, wrote:
Eydie has been my partner on stage and in my life for more than 55 years. I fell in love with her the moment I saw her and even more the first time I heard her sing. While my personal loss is unimaginable, the world has lost one of the greatest pop vocalists of all time. Link

Now I think I understand where Madonna got her idea for the pointy things in the Vogue video.

How the hell could people have ever found gimmicks like that attractive?

Well I hope you don't find it repulsive.

I'll give the benefit of a neutered stance.

Puffy nipples and perky tits are hot but those things in the picture are so damn exaggerated that they're fucked up. I think that's why they're out of style. Now self-hating women of that breed go for enhancing size, which is a complete waste. The women of the pin-up era knew it was all about the shape, not the size, but correcting that through wardrobe is just too weird on the eyes.

We need people who keep abreast of fashion to weigh in here. I'd like to hear from Trooper York and deborah.

Look at how pointy and erect her tits are.

I love her tits.

What you're looking at is the result of the bra she's wearing. Without the bra, who knows?

All of a sudden I want to buy a dog. A Shorthaired Pointer, for some reason.

Are there subliminal messages in these topics?

Back in the fifties, the front end of Buicks looked like that.

They were huge on the Steve Allen Show and even huger on the Ed Sullivan Show. And that was before Lem was even thought of!!

ricpic said...
