From My Heart to Yours...

...wishing you a VERY Happy Valentine's Day! Our cover girl today, Cyd Charisse, has a happy greeting and is the first in line to offer up a variety of Valentine cheesecakes. (With one little cupcake tossed in as well.) I hope you have a great day and will be back soon with the regular "cheese."

Wishing You the Very Best VD!

No, silly, not venereal disease!  Valentine's Day.  I thought maybe I'd exhausted the supply of campy, Valentine-themed publicity photos in my post about this time last year, but I managed to scrape up a few more.  In cases where I know the subject, I've noted it above the picture.  A few of them, like the lass shown here, are people I do not know...  A very happy Valentine's Day to you all!

We all know Miss Marliyn Monroe, of course:

Sultry Miss Yvonne de Carlo:

I'm afraid I don't know this former starlet:

Nor can I name this curvy, young lady:

This is Martha Vickers:

Here we see the lovely Joan Leslie:

An early shot of Jean Arthur:

Teen songbird and popular actress Deanna Durbin:

The indefatigable Miss Debbie Reynolds:

Another young lady I can't identify:

And the last of my "unknowns":

Miss Rita Hayworth near the dawn of her acting career:

Make Room for Daddy's Rusty Hamer, who has broken into his chocolates already!:

Wednesday and Pugsley Addams (Lisa Loring and Ken Weatherwax) of The Addams Family:

Hee Haw's Barbi Benton and Junior Samples:

Two Harts, Jonathan and Jennifer (Robert Wagner and Stefanie Powers) of Hart to Hart:

Brenda and Dylan (Shannon Doherty and Luke Perry) of Beverly Hills 90210:

Sarah Paulson (lately of American Horror Story: Asylum) seems to have plenty of candy hearts to go around:

And finally Karen Steele offers up the same sentiment I extend to all my Underworld friends and visitors!:

Be Mine?

In honor of St. Valentine's Day, we present a brief photo tribute to the holiday for lovers, featuring a few starlets strutting some of their best heart-themed pictorials. I let Marilyn have two turns because a) they're cute pics and b) I didn't have every many to start with! If you're wondering who in the hell Rae Corry is, she was more than a bit of a mystery to me, too, but apparently was featured on a few episodes of Hawaiian Eye during its run (as what?! I could find no concrete record of this.) The bigger mystery is why the network would send out a publicity photo of Ms. Corry that features a big ol' cellulite pock-mark on her thigh! Airbrush, please! May Cupid's arrow find you where it counts this February 14th!
