20th Aug 2012 Married Bliss?

** Good Women are Hard to Find ~

Nigel and Stephen, are keen fishermen and wine drinkers; here you can see a photo taken while they are enjoying some night fishing while on holiday, with their wives, in Poitou-Charente, France, last year.

Slurping a large Bordeaux Supérieur, Nigel announces, 'I think I'm going to divorce my wife, she hasn't spoken to me in eighteen months.'

Stephen downs his glass of the red wine thoughtfully and after a while responds, 'Think it over a bit more, Nige; women like that are hard to find.'

** Good Basis for Marriage ~

 

A husband and wife were at a party chatting with some friends when the subject of marriage counselling came up.

 

'Oh, we'll never need that. My husband and I have a great relationship, 'the wife explained.' He was a communications major in college and I majored in theatre arts. He communicates really well and I just act like I'm listening.'

** The Proud Husband ~

 

Geoff had six children and was very proud of his achievement. He was so proud of himself that for years he called his wife, Anita, "Mother of Six," in spite of her regular objections.

 

One evening, in their retirement years, they go to a party. It is late and Geoff is ready to go home and wants to find out if Anita is ready to leave as well.

Geoff bellows at the top of his voice, 'Shall we go home, Mother of Six?'

Anita, greatly irritated by Geoff's lack of discretion over so many years, yells back at him, 'Anytime you're ready, "Father of Four".'

20th Aug 2012 Tempest Storm, The Stripper & Vampire

I posted a few pictures some time ago sent to me by a friend, showing an old lady of at least 75 or so, wearing very heavy make-up and dressed in technicolor mini skirted outfit, fishnet stockings and all, apparently in some kind of fiesta, prancing about having a ball and showing her knickers! I had no idea who that lady was, putting up her pictures just for a bit of fun.

Now there just appeared a biography of a famous stripper, of her time, the 50's, a very well known figure internationally, topping the other no less popular star Betty Page. Her stage name was Tempest Storm, real name Annie Blanche Banks. I strongly suspect that she might be the same lady whose photos I published in Multiply's Erotic Art Group. If she is not, I apologize for the confusion.

Anyway, with or without her photos showing how she looks today, now in her 80's, she was decidedly a very colourful and interesting character. So famous in her heyday as the most notorious stripper, she even collected a great number of world class celebrities and politicians as her lovers, amongst them Mickey Rooney, Elvis Presley, Nat King Cole and the then young Senator John Kennedy.

Even when she was young and definitely internationally famous, she was not exactly a beauty in the accepted sense, and rather short in stature. But she had an air of Marilyn Monroe, had even been her neighbour; both exuded sex appeal mixed with a touch of childlike innocence, very comfortable in her own skin. Her best asset was that she knew how to move her body, and for her era, extremely daring, completely void of inhibitions.

 

If you are interested in taking a look at her early performances, or stories about her, I believe you can find her in a YouTube video, in the online encyclopaedia Wikipedia, and she had also recently featured in the CNN report, where she said now in her 80's, she is still enjoying good health and appearances occasionally on stage. What's more, the audiences seemed delighted to see her. So, she thinks there's absolutely no reason for her to even think of retiring. You can of course, read her biography, with a suggestive title " The Girl Who's A Vampire "!

What character, what spirit, and what a lady!
