I agree, but I was in a rush at the time and alt-text is unfortunately not available retrospectively.

Maybe throw in a dictionary?

This #ad is dated 1982, the year Brooke Shields turned 17. She'd played a child prostitute in Pretty Baby (1978) and used a nude double in The Blue Lagoon (1980). Anyone else think a lookalike doll of a real-life teenager, for you to dress/undress, is a little inappropriate? youtu.be/csxKt1ldc34?...
Photo of dancer and actress Lili St Cyr clipped from the October 1955 issue of Fury.
Lobby card for the 1955 film Son of Sinbad, featuring actress Lili St Cyr in a bath.
Perhaps best known now for her namecheck in the 1973 musical The Rocky Horror Show & 1975 film, Lili St Cyr (1917-99) was a popular stripper & #burlesque dancer known for elaborate sets & props. She later set up a lingerie business (Cassandra 'Elvira' Peterson wore one of her 'plunge' bras). #movies
Cover of the book No Sheep For You, containing ideas for knitting without using wool. There is a faux nude portrait of a woman knitting.
My advice would have been to hold on to your existing clothing before #knitting an entirely new wool-free wardrobe, unless you're planning to surprise the person delivering your copy of this book (if so, a word of warning: Amazon drivers always take a photo). @knitty.com
Back in March 2018, I had the pleasure of meeting up in Solihull with Michael Biehn and Jennifer Blanc to discuss her directorial debut The Girl and his work on both The Terminator and Aliens. They had to fly home just a few hours later, so this was astonishingly generous. #movies #journalism

Margaret Sheridan (1926-82) was working as a fashion model when Howard Hawks chose her to star opposite John Wayne in Red River (1948). Unfortunately, she had to decline due to pregnancy with her first daughter, so instead made her screen debut in the sf classic The Thing from Another World (1951).
Presenting a argument in opposition to your own is "sleazy"? Your unwillingness to even debate your own statement shows weakness and lack of integrity. The childish namecalling just makes you sound even more pathetic and unworthy of my time.
The landmark 100th edition of Yours Retro is scheduled to hit newsstands on 7 May, and I'm rather pleased to say I'll have two articles in there, one concerning a popular movie series of the 1930s/40s, the other an actress who appeared in the most famous horror film of 1960. #freelance #journalism
This charming illustration by Frank Utpatel (1905-80) appeared in the December 1923 issue of Weird Tales, alongside prose and poetry by H P Lovecraft, Seabury Quinn, Edgar Allan Poe and Clark Ashton Smith. #artwork
Please remind me, what exactly did he receive this prize for?
Did you bother asking the doctor for the full spec sheet of potential side effects before your jab, or check out the manufacturer's website?
Kitten Kong takes no prisoners.
Most healthy young people are at little to no risk from Covid, as you should be well aware. Why are you promoting an alleged 'benefit' for young mothers, and not mentioning the known risks?
"Literally all of them"? Must say, I've never heard myocarditis, blood clots, pericarditis, accelerated cancer or sudden death described as "positive" before.
Hi Folks!
We have until March 15 to get our $2 raffle tickets to help repair the foundation of the Robert E. Howard Museum.
There are so many great prizes, too, which are listed in this link!
It was a busy trio.
The July 1925 edition of classic pulp digest Weird Tales is chiefly notable for including 'Spear and Fang', the first published story by Robert E Howard. Set in the damn of humankind, it features a cave artist who rescues a member of his Cro-Magnon tribe from a Neanderthal and makes her his mate.
Yours Retro's 98th edition hits newsstands on 12 March, and includes my profile of #actor Nigel Hawthorne, Oscar-nominated star of The Madness of King George, BAFTA winner for Yes Minister, Olivier Award winner and reluctant guest villain in Demolition Man.

A musical treat to get everyone in the weekend mood: the Vince Guaraldi Trio perform the Peanuts 'Linus and Lucy' theme in 1964. That's Vince on piano, plus Tom Beeson on bass and John Rae on drums. #jazz #music #comics
