#4 Tell me again what the custom is: Is it over the left or right ear that a girl wears the flower to advertise that she's available???

#5 Wow. I used to listen to her on WOR radio with her husband Tex McCrary. I never imagined she was such a fox. But then, that was before I realized they're all foxes.

#6 "But then, that was before I realized they're all foxes."

LOL, NS. Since I don't wanna be a killjoy and cuz it was so damned funny on the initial read, I won't mention any of the exceptions. In some sense, indeed, they're all ~~foxy~~ foxes... just look at how we're so deftly "handled" by tw, lotp, Barbara, ex-lib, Jules, et all. LOL. They're laughing up their sleeves at us, LOL.

#8 flyover, dear, I think I speak for all the Rantburg ladies when I say I wouldn't dream of handling you or any other of the other charming gentlemen here at Rantburg. Nor ever laugh except at the frequent bits of outrageous snark, when the distance between chair and floor suddenly becomes small and thumpy. ;-)

#9 I remember seeing a compilation of TIME magazine photos about WWII that had a segment on USO activities for troops around the world. One of the pictures was of Hollywood starlets who were going overseas to entertain the troops. You'd recognize all the names, IIRC.

Maybe it's just personal taste but I definitely remember thinking that of the women in that picture, Jinx was by far the prettiest of the lot. Supposedly (different source) she also had a really nice personality and hadn't let stardom affect her. I believe she was one of the entertainers who volunteered to go to Attu and Kiska, places dangerous and difficult to get to and most certainly in need of some imported amusement. Quite a girl, even if she wasn't up to Hedy Lamarr's intellectual level.
Very nice work, Fred. Keep 'em coming!
