Is It Just Me...

...or is this really unattractive? Blaze Starr is apparently revered as "The Hottest Blaze in Burlesque." I entirely disagree. Despite the fact that she looks clumsy and drunk, her only appeal is her figure which is not the only criteria which makes a woman sexy. Grace, poise, mystery? None are present in this routine.

However, this woman does  possess the aforementioned qualities. 

One Ms. Dita Von Teese, Burlesque artiste extraordinaire.

Dita Von Teese was actually married to Marilyn Manson. And they did a spread in Vogue together right before their wedding. I remember this because I fell in love with a picture of them (that was Dita's wedding dress).

They split up just in time for Manson to pursue his next wildly attractive woman (18 years his junior), Ms. Evan Rachel Wood.

After she started dating Manson, Evan Rachel Wood started looking a lot more like Dita and then somehow turned into an out-of-control sexpot. Anyways, I digress. 

Burlesque....is an art. And Blaze Starr can suck it. 

Don't Turn My Picture to the Wall

Of late, I've been really into Bill Boyd & His Cowboy Ramblers.

They sound like they look, which is wonderful, although every once in a while, they throw a polka track on their albums which is disconcerting. Another badass cowboy from this era is one Merle Travis, who's an excellent guitarist. We also, of course adore Django Reinhardt. 

Now, Bill Boyd is not to be confused with Bill & Boyd, a New Zealand pop sensation duo from the 60's. 

Burn After Reading...

Review: It was like "what?"

On the other hand, John Malkovich is effing god.

Some Hot Bitches.

The Brothers Nicholas...

...are wonderful.

They did some work with Cab Calloway, that's how I came across them. I've recently been enamored of any tap-dancing duo. So as to not disclude the greats, here's a video of Ginger and Fred. Ginger should never be allowed to wear pants, her stems are too killer.

Let Her Go, God Bless Her.

I am in love with Cab Calloway as of late, and also...this is the most badass version of St. James Infirmary I've heard to boot! This is a segment of a Betty Boop short about Snow White.
