Happy birthday, Mie Hama

Japanese actress, writer, and radio talk show host Mie Hama turns 80 years old today. She is best known internationally for her roles in "King Kong vs. Godzilla" (1963), "What's Up, Tiger Lily?" (1966), and "You Only Live Twice" (1967), but she appeared in over 80 films and television series before retiring from the screen in the late 1960s to start a family and enjoy what she describes as a "normal life".

Today, we celebrate Hama and her milestone birthday with some publicity photos from her time in front of the cameras!

It's International Bikini Day!

It's Wednesday... and it's International Bikini Day. That can only mean one thing: We got pictures of women in bikinis to make this a Picture Perfect Wednesday!

  

 

 

 

We celebrate on this day, because it is when, in 1946, French automobile engineer and fashion designer Louis Reard bestowed the itsy-bitsy, teeny-weeny bikini ["the world's smallest swimsuit"] upon the world! Read all about this great man here!)
