That was the 1950s, after all, and I grew up with a mom who vacuumed in high heels, wore curlers to bed, and died at 92, two years ago, without one grey hair visible on her regularly coiffed head.
As much as any religious commandment, we middle-class '50s girls believed it our duty to make the most of our looks. It wasn't fun.
I'm talking budding teens going off to school in pointy padded bras, horsehair crinolines, teased hair and Annette Funicello-like makeup.
I knew how to curl my eyelashes with an instrument that looks like it was created by the Marquis de Sade before I could solve a geometry problem.
I also knew the rules. Nice girls didn't wear eyeshadow or mascara in the daytime. By the age of twelve, eyebrows were meant to be plucked and arched. The pain part was "the price you pay for beauty."
With plastic surgery not yet a mainstream option, women relied on the wonders whipped up for them by Max Factor and HelenaRubinstein. The name of my very first lipstick, "Powder Pink,'' is indelibly etched on my brain. My mom and her canasta[uncq] cronies wore Revlon's "Cherries in the Snow" or "Fire and Ice." They never would have believed normal suburban teens would someday sport lip shades dubbed "Puke" or "Orgasm."
After leaving the Mickey Mouse Club, Funicello remained under contract to Disney and appeared in the TV shows Zorro (1957), The Nine Lives of Elfego Baca (1958), and starred in the Disney feature films The Shaggy Dog (1959), Babes in Toyland (1961), The Misadventures of Merlin Jones (1964), and The Monkey's Uncle (1965).
In the early 1960s, Annette starred in a series of beach party movies with Frankie Avalon, including Beach Party (1963), Muscle Beach Party (1964), Bikini Beach (1964), Beach Blanket Bingo (1965), and How to Stuff a Wild Bikini (1965). During this time, she recorded a series of hit top-40 pop singles, including "Tall Paul," "First Name Initial," "How Will I Know My Love," and "Pineapple Princess."
The Soundtrack features of course the title track «Beach Party», which appeared also|
Do something to change your life From somewhere within my essentially introverted nature, I tried to summon an imitation of Connie Francis or Annette Funicello as they appeared in those |

Christina Aguilera Is Washed Up
Christina Aguilera Is Washed Up
Here’s Christina Aguilera ringing in the New Year at Tao nightclub. We haven’t seen much Xtina, ever since she had kids, but this new look of hers isn’t working for me. Her funbags look deflated and the rest of her body looks like it belong to a 35 year old crack whore. I don’t even want to ask how much? See more pictures now!!!
Molly Sims Bikini Pictures
Molly Sims Bikini Pictures
The last time I had pictures of Molly Sims on the site she was doing some weird sh#t with her puppies and I remember thinking that that was the end of her hotness. Well, I’m glad that she’s decided to prove me wrong by prancing around and shaking her ass in her little bikini. How thoughtful. See more pictures now!!!

Lindsay Lohan Swimsuit Pictures
If you ask me, there’s not much in this mixed up world more enjoyable than to watch a hot chick try on swimsuits in a sexy pair of heels. Here’s Lindsay Lohan and her delicious chesticles doing just that. I have to say that I’m impressed, if I were there I’d pay for the damn thing myself. After I came to, of course, because chances are all my blood would have quickly rushed from my head causing me to pass out like a gay guy at a Jonas Brothers concert See more pictures now!!!
Kate Hudson And Her Milky White Thighs!!
Kate Hudson And Her Milky White Thighs!!
I don’t really know what Kate Hudson is doing in these pictures, but I’m glad she decided to do it in a short little skirt. I know it kinda looks like a sixty year old hippy’s sundress, but I like her sexy legs so who gives a shit. Although, a little sun wouldn’t hurt. I’m still annoyed that she hasn’t done something about her boobs, or lack there of. This is Hollywood baby, everybody does it. I wonder how many times she’s heard that before.
Amber Rose Is Out Of This World
Amber Rose Is Out Of This World
Here’s Kanye West’s girlfriend/thing Amber Rose out in West Hollywood. I’m not going to lie, if Aliens touched down on Earth and they looked like this, I’d probably hit it, but for now the unknown scares me. Who am I kidding, I’d still hit that, as long as it doesn’t have teeth on its privates.
