There's to be no bull to ruin the Cinco De Mayo parties if Marilyn Monroe has her way!

Trivia: While trying to break into acting, Marilyn Monroe worked as a model. Among her clients were pin-up artist Earl Moran, who paid her $10 an hour to pose in various costumes and states of undress to serve as reference for his paintings. The photos in this post are from one such shoot.

It's Cinco de Mayo!

For a few days now, I've been seeing posts in my Facebook feed designed to instruct me on the True Meaning of Cinco de Mayo (or lack there-of). Well, those posts convinced me that I had to do a Cinco de Mayo post of my own this year--the third one in the decade or so that this blog has been around.

I have made an effort to be faithful to the wishes of those who took it upon themselves to preach to unwashed masses. Cinco de Mayo is a commemoration of a battle that helped put an end to France's imperial ambitions in the Americas, and this post is here to remind the world about that.
