I was lucky enough to see the Who concert in Seattle a couple months ago. They opened with an arrangement of music from Tommy that was about 20 minutes, then went on to play more post-Tommy songs. Alas, none of the earlier stuff, but it was still great.
I forgot to mention that about half the concert, including the Tommy medley, was played with a group of musicians from Seattle Symphony. Really excellent.
They simply both have long dark hair with straight-across bangs…. though Katy’s is shorter, and pulled back with combs, 1940’s style, on the sides.
…
Katy Keene pre-dates Bettie Page… she’s from Archie comics, starting in the 1940s.
Very wholesome… see all the names on the paper doll page?
Teenage girls … maybe some boys but I don’t know… sent in their drawings of fashions for her, and they were published on pages like this.
…
My older cousin got one published as a teenager… but she said the cartoonist redrew it, and it wasn’t that much like her original design. Still, she framed the page for her wall.
I used to see it when I slept in her bedroom when we visited, and it became my ambition to do it too…
I don’t know what happened cos I did start drawing fashions but I don’t recall ever sending one in.
…
I never heard of Bettie Page till her revival popularity in the 1980’s.
“Nice” people didn’t talk about her when she got started in the 1950’s… but decades later, society was less prudish, and she’s much more famous.
I think a lot of girls wearing Bettie Page t-shirts still don’t know, though, or maybe it’s just their mothers who are unaware…
She was not just a “model” but a ground-breaking soft-core PORNmodel!
She may have done some straight modelling gigs, as well; I don’t know…
But her lasting fame was from appearing in bondage magazines.
…
In the pictures of her you can easily find on the internet, she’s often tied up with ropes, wearing pointy bras, girdles and stockings with garters.
She’s famous for being very open about working in that genre, clean-cut looking and pretty, when it was known to be a very hush-hush and sleazy industry.
…
I think the Katy Keene artist, whose name escapes me, and all of the Archie Comics crew, would be shocked by the comparison,
She did much more girly stuff too.
Her bread and butter was doing photo shoots with paying photographers.
And she rarely did a full nude, altho topless was standard.
Tough to choose the winner in these three videos. I guess I will go with Manfred Mann. A by the book song, boy meets girl, they fall in love, get married, live happily ever after.
Day 2 of feeling like…
It’s not Covid. I have an appetite, and can smell and taste. Coffee tases like coffee and chocolate flavored cereal still tastes like coco.
I’m muscle sore and tired and off center/dizzy (not vertigo) with no respiratory symptoms.
I did feel a touch of nausea after getting home.
Did i mention going into work this morning? Yeah.
We are still so short staffed that there was no one to cover for my shifts. We still haven’t rebounded the outset of Covid yet.
I started a load of laundry and took care of the animals so now i’m going back to bed.
I still say that EWC is related to Lilly from Ten Cats.
Our Open Mic group had a bout with what we called the crud. Your description is exactly like what we had. The bad feeling only lasted a day or two, but it seemed to sap our energy for about a week before we felt all but completely over it. It was a few days more before we were 100%.

Is that the one you posted about, where your seat was going to be on a high level that your daughter didn’t know if you could walk to?
How did that work out?
…
I’ve never seen them… though I loved their music in the 70’s.
I don’t know about these days, in their geezerhood, but back then, they were reputed to put on some pretty wild concerts.
It was no problem at all.
I forgot to mention that about half the concert, including the Tommy medley, was played with a group of musicians from Seattle Symphony. Really excellent.

Spudly.
ohhhhhhh, how i wish i could go out and play!
..
Did i see her dancing in a Disney movie?
She isn’t one, cos Google says this is a painting by someone named Suzan Visser…
Very much more … well, I can’t say “lifelike”… so let’s say “detailed” than the Disney ones.
But she’s quite reminiscent of the dancing hippos in Fantasia.
Anyone else hearing “Hello Mother, Hello Father” whilst the music plays and the hippo pirouettes?
I am now!
Well, then, you are “Welcome!” for the earwig…
XD
Makes me think of this one:
Yes I do. You are hitting all the right notes for me tonight, Stel.

Where are my 3D-glasses when I need them?
The complete contents OF FELIX THE CAT NO. 23 AT THIS LINK. I had never before seen some of the advertisements before today.
I always liked Felix the Cat cartoons when I was a kid. Right-ee-oh!

Apparently based on Bettie Page (in my short search I didn’t come across any official type confirmation).
Oh my goodness, NO!!

And now, to bed and I’m gone until Monday.
Good night!

No.
Yes!
Try Bavarian Cream.
Coconut – as much as I like it – would ruin it.
what would REALLY ruin it–Sauerkraut!
But I could imagine Sauerkraut with coconut.
😀

well, it’s about time, Claude! (maybe you should’ve done it a LONG time ago!)

A mild case of Flurona?
We may have that a couple of weeks now…
I don’t think so.
Straight up flu is my guess.Nothing in my sinuses. Thank god. Snot it the worst part of a cold.
Thats hilarious!

Worse than a cold but not as bad as a flu.
get better SOON!
AMEN!
Take care of yourself. I hope you’re back to 100% soon. ♥
