I hear at night she turns into a man!! ^&grin^&grin^&grin Some kind of strange curse for being so exceptionally beautiful during the day. ^&grin^&grin

No way. She's a mermaid. Don't you remember when she comes out of the water in "Boy on a Dolphin"? One of the best movie scenes, ever!^&grin -- Al

Careful, gentlemen. These young ladies are wearing less than the photo of the barmaid at the London show, and she was deleted within 24 hours as being inappropriate for the younger members of the forum. Trooper

Funny that there is an almost iconic movie promotional photo of Sophia Loren in The Millionairess showing her in garters etc. American versions of the photo have the garters and stocking tops air-brushed out because American just couldn't handle the sight back then.

I remember the tizzy some collectors went into over Cliff Sanderson's figures and the Phoenix Follies series 30 years ago.

My classmates tend to think of me as the person who is always quick to defend (or attack) a certain historical, political, religious, or moral position, and firm unchanging in my support of it{sm0}{sm4}. I think it must go with the 'history blood' (in all seriousness). They also tell me I always have to bring Napoleon into a conversation, which, come to think of it, might not be so far from the truth. I mean as Napoleon said, "Truth alone wounds."

-Roy P. Basler

Any fool can make history, but it takes a genius to write it.
-Oscar Wilde

{sm4}Now you're talkin. That scene stopped me in my tracks, and I was about 10 years old. Johno.

If I could chat with anyone. The obvious choices are the big guys like Napoleon,God, movie stars etc. However, I had an ancester who was a sergeant major, on the battlefield at Waterloo in the British lifeguards. I think I'd like to get his perspective on the machinations of that day.Not the official history, but the real facts. I think it would be interesting.
