Before she was Morticia.

                                                                                          

Carolyn Jones was a different kind of starlet. With a jet black bob and piercing blue eyes, she stood alone in a sea of blondes. I would have to say my favorite thing about Carolyn is that she has a timeless look. While so many starlets were undeniably beautiful, their looks are very decade specific. Any of these photos of Carolyn would look just as current today. True disclosure-I've been trying to grow out my bob...and now these pictures of Carolyn have me wanting to not only keep it, but cut it a little more. Fun trivia, she was once married to Aaron Spelling when they were both struggling actors. She encouraged him to write, and the rest is history. At the end of her life, he helped her with finances, because he was that kind of guy.

PS.If you'd like to see Carolyn in action, may I suggest her and Elvis in King Creole.



Claude Simonon

So, Paul Simonon of the Clash is his father. And he's doing a pictorial homage to a young Elvis Presley. Claude Simonon, you are gonna give a girl a heart attack. What's next? Are you in an amazing band too?

It's Only Make Believe....

So, I have a little pretend game that I play. Here's how it works: I go on an auction website and look at the things I would buy if money was no object. My theme the other night was the clothes of my heroes. Here's what I picked:

Ritchie Valens Shirt

Patsy Cline's Dress

Buddy Holly's Cardigan

And his shirt (he had some amazing clothing)

And Elvis' really cool Beatle boots.
