go back a decade and no laxative needed



 I dunno what happened to humanity in the 50's.  everyone went all puritanical and childlike.  just check out the diff betwixt this glorious piece of very grown up saucy cheek from Anne Miller in the previous decade, compared to that fluff from Pajama Game.  no wonder 50's frocks give me hives :D

    love the second half of this piece, so much ribaldry! also love the use of colour - glorious monochromes, a dash of red, and THAT DRESS ... I would literally kill for that dress.

    I dunno - I'd like to see Gene Kelly dance, not bongo.

    Could you wear that dress down the street without adding a couple of buttons on the skirt?

    heavens no!, to the buttons.

    and heck yes!, to seeing more gene hoofing.

    Anne Miller freaks me right out. Are we sure she's not Mick Jaggers mother? All of those teeth

    ....I mean. that huge mouth...
    maybe they went all puritanical in the 50s because they realised that the next step in sexy dancing was going to be Hot Gossip on the Kenny Everett show, and they wanted to postpone it as long as possible...
