It's June...

... June Palmer that is.

Born in 1940, British actress and model June Palmer got her start in showbusiness in her late teens, performing as an exotic dancer in London cabarets. By 19, she had "graduated" to modeling for men's magazines. Within just a few years, she had become a popular figure (or, rather, her figure had become popular) in Great Britain, throughout the Commonwealth, and in the United States. By the mid-1960s, the film industry was calling to her...

Check back in two weeks for another Picture Perfect Wednesday featuring June Palmer... with more pictures and more information about her career in pictures, both still and moving!

Musical Monday with Boxing Mammas!

This week, we have not just one but TWO music videos to kick off the work-week. Both are versions of "Mamma Said Knock You Out" (a song I like mostly due to a number of spoof versions a friend came up with, such as "Mamma's Gonna Bail You Out" and "Mamma's Gonna Whore About").

I feel like this is the first time where cover-version master Leo Moracchioli has missed the mark; he's made the song his own, but he hasn't made it any better nor more interesting. But why don't you take a listen to both and share YOUR opinions in comment section below?

Musical Monday with Thousand Foot Krutch

I am not particularly religious, so that might be why I generally find rock bands that bill themselves as "Christian" to be underwhelming. That is NOT the case with Canadian band Thousand Foot Krutch.

"War of Change" is a fabulous, hard-rockin' song with a visually interesting video that takes full advantage of the black-and-white film. This is a solid Ten out of Ten Stars!

 

It's the Sunday Comics Section with Wonder Woman!

Here's everybody's favorite Amazon, seen through the lens of Canadian cartoonist and children's book illustrator Kate Beaton:

We're putting words in Fanny's mouth!

 We've been having a little late-night fun with 'Flapper Fanny Says', with the viewers/side-chatters of my YouTube Channel coming up with the jokes to go with some Ethel Hays and Gladys Parker drawings. Going forward, we'll be sharing the results as an extra post on every other Fanny Friday!

In addition to the post here, you'll be able to vote for your favorite of the jokes on the YouTube Channel's Community Page, here. (And if you like what you see, please subscribe to the channel, and come by and hang out with us some night!)

This is the cartoon (selected for today, because it's almost fitting for Mermay):

Here are the five best of the jokes the YouTube viewers came up with:

"There are plenty of other fish in the sea... like blobfish."

"Is that a harpoon in your pocket, or are you just happy to see me?"

"You get we your way, I'll get wet mine."

"Oh, I don't come here to swim. I'm here to show off my suit."

"'Just the tip' of my toes."

Fanny Friday!
