mia cuddles

so, it seems it's 'ladies night' here on the 'planetcool.' and as i mention in the post directly below this one, i love shots that can be classified by me as 'never-before-seen.' yes, here we have one of my total favorite girlstars, the lovely and complex miss mysterious mia farrow. i'm sure you'll agree its difficult to find older pictures of her with long hippy hair like this. it kind of reminds of me of some photographs of my wonderful mother. (love you, mommy.) but yeah, here we have the dreamy miss mia posing with a snow white innocent kit-bag. (new slang term for a cute-styled feline.) mia's eyebrows could use a bit of a tweeze, but other than that, i think she looks totally lovely. and hey, she was not so innocent. like, she hung with sinatra and the psychedelic-maharishi beatles! it just doesn't get much cooler than that. so um, dig on mia and the kit, and i'll see you all tomorrow night!

carroll smokes

yes, anyone that knows me, knows that i love shots of my fave stars that are 'never-before-seen' by me. and this glamorous shot of the marvelous carroll baker certainly falls into that category. believe me, i pearldive for carroll baker picksh regularly, and i know i've never seen this one. and it's hot, no? if you think the color looks a little queer, its because the original was so shock-overexposed i really had to do some strange work on it to make it a little easier on the eye. god, she was a sexy little hot starlet in her day. and i love her because i've seen her without all that makeup, and it really IS her face under there, if that makes any sense. like, she really doesn't need any of that paint, but its only intensifying what's already there; not really 'creating' any false lines and-or contours. she really doesn't need much 'help,' ...she's just naturally that lovely and sexy 'as-is.' i probably don't have to say this shot was in the early 60's, around the time she made the trashy and surprisingly boring 'harlow,' and the soap-opera-fied 'the carpetbaggers.' but hey, to me, she'll always be my little 'babydoll.' hey carroll, smoke one for me, you wild temptress.

hot wheels

hot pink wheels, to be exact. hey, if you know me at all, you know i love vintage car ads from the late 60's and 1970's. and sure, there are groovier car-and-van ads out there in the cybersphere, but i chose this shot because of the model. yes, the girl in hot pink, astride the bubble-gum car is none other than angela dorian. also sometimes known as 'victoria vetri,' the actress. yes, she's on my magic movie screen more often than i'd like to admit, due to her marvelously pretty and vital portrayal of terry gionofrio in roman polanski's thriller 'rosemary's baby.' yeah, she's the first chick the 'devil people' try to knock-up with the devil-spawn, only with tragic consequences. she's cool, she's chomping her gum and doing her laundry... (in the movie) ...she seemed so happy and full of... oh well, here she is in some groovy white sandal-heels and a barbie pink go-go shorts get-up. and if you click to enlarge to read the print, you'll learn that she was also a 'september delight,' centerfold, that made her way towards the honor of 'playmate of the year.' hey, i wonder if her 'brother in the navy' has her picture pinned up in the submarine. hey, angela-and-or-victoria, wherever you are... i think you're very terriffic.

stacked

and packed...! namely, packed into that bra! man, can i get a '...woof!' ladies and gentlemen? yes, i know i mentioned the other night that pictures of liz taylor from the late 60's are pretty hard to come by. but this groovy shot of her from the wild movie 'reflections in a golden eye' was pretty 'easy to come by.' (if you know what i mean.) now, i'm pretty sure i've seen this movie before, but i don't remember too much about it... except how sexy liz looked at that age. apart from this scene where she strips in front of the fireplace, i think there was also a kinky scene where she whips marlon brando with a riding crop. man, dig that bra, though. could it be tight enough? i mean, it really doesn't even fit properly. i mean, i would bet liz was a healthy d-cup, (probably a double d...) but this looks like a b-cup bra. i mean, look how those straps are cutting into her shoulders. like, i'm a little surprised she could actually breathe. i think i lost about 15 solid minutes looking at this shot last night. sweet, sweet kinky stuff.

blue jewel

mmm, i love leaving some of my old books with jean-luc. because, when he has time, he lovingly scans in and uploads some of my better past notebook illustrations. i'm not sure what the date on this one would be... but i remember i was in the upstairs bedroom in the main house when i made it, which means it's at least two years old. and, apart from it being a little bit 'cleaned-up' after it had been scanned, jean-luc really didn't alter it very much at all. he does such a wonderful job. it makes it effortless for me to trust his talent and judgement. its quite a bit larger and more complicated than my decorations these days... life changes and time constraints and other things factor in to dictate how much time (and ink...!) i can spend on each page. (hey, in these 'tight times,' i've found myself cutting back on even the volume of f***ing ink i lay down. its like, the 'oil of the old west' in my artistic world... if that makes any sense.) so um, techincal points aside, let's see what we have here. yes, the background is a negative image of a detail of a gustav klimt painting. the rounded tiles depict: morrissey, in a freeze-frame from his marvelous 'who put the m in manchester?' dvd, then a screen shot of georgina hale from ken russell's masterpiece 'mahler,' annnd one more shot of morrissey dressed as a priest, because i was in love with him at the time and figured like, two morrisseys are better than one. i'm glad such an old image scanned so well. oh, and the half-face beside the first morrissey is none other than ronan vibert. (and i apologize profusely for the use of yellow. it is probably my least favorite color. seriously, yellow is sooo square.) (...and click to enlarge)

partymates

you know, some people have said that david bowie wasn't being the least-bit sarcastic with all his 'spaceman,' 'starman,' 'man who fell to earth' stuff. like, some people have gone on record saying they believe he may be an actual alien. and, looking at pictures of him from around this time, its easy to see why they might think something like that. like, here we have a picture of three random guys, gathered somewhere in some backstage location, and bowie, being the oldest guy in years by a lonnng shot, he weirdly looks as if he could be the youngest. like, what does that man wash his face with? like, 'lamb tears' or something? (mmm, yes, 'lamb tears.') as i'm sure you have all figured out, the two blokes he's partying with are gary oldman on the left, and ed norton on the right. and hey, you all know how much i dig gary oldman, but i have to admit he comes in 'dead last' in this three-way facial horserace. like, what's with that 'cat in the hat' scarf? not flattering. but i still dig this shot, because i can't think of any 'hollywood'-related reason why these three guys would be in the same room. like, they didn't all three work on the same movie, did they? like, some movie i'm totally unaware of? well, anyway, dig the shot. (click to enlarge)

serious rabbits

okay, i know i've posted a few monkees-related picksh lately, but i really think this one deserves to be showcased. i think its very hilarious. here we have the just-post-monkees-era davy jones, posing with some rabbits he apparently has hanging around. and, as you can see, davy takes his 'rabbit posing' very seriously. dig that intense, steely-eyed stare. dig his fast grip on the little suckers. it almost seems like, some kind of teaser-shot for some 1971 devil-related exploitation horror flick... maybe something called like, 'the furring.' don't let his innocent good looks fool you, ladies and gentlemen... he's got devious, diabolical stuff on his mind. stuff that may-or-may-not require the letting of some pure and 'untouched-by-man' freshly spilled rabbit blood. like, is he kissing that one on the head, or like, 'tasting forward' to how delicious they'll be, raw, and consumed nude in a basement dungeon.

lush liz

i was looking around on the seabeds for hot pictures of liz taylor last night... specifically looking for pictures of her like, late 60's-burton era... annnd i'm not sure why, but it seems like that entire part of her life is the time period apparently least depicted. like, i found lots of shots directly before it, and lots of stuff after, but not all that much from like, '64 to 1977. shots of her start being plentiful again about the time she was on like, ...was it 'general hospital' she was on? i know she was on some tv show around then. ...was it 'dynasty?' anyway, last night i found this sexy 1960's shot of her with the cool 60's headband flip-do. i think it was around the same time she and marlon brando made that ...er, classic? 'reflections in a golden eye.' i think she looks wild and amazing in that one. she looked smokin' hot in pretty much anything she did around the time she was with richard burton, if you want my opinion. i wish the photo quality was a little bit better, but like i said, there wasn't a hell of a lot to choose from. i'm still hunting for stuff, and will hopefully have more later in the week.
