The Tuesday Song of the Week

 This week's TSOTW is posted in memory of Tim Curry...

                              'Sweet Trans(vestite)' from The Rocky Horror Picture Show 

The brackets are there because don't want nobody to delete this.  At least not yet.  
 

The Star Made Me Buy It

 Today's star is Madeleine Carroll, here shilling for Calox Tooth Powder...

The upcoming movie in the ad is Cafe Society, which came out in 1939.

I don't know much about Madeleine Carroll, never having seen one of her films.  However, I remember reading somewhere that she was beautiful to the max, although in her still photos she doesn't look a whole lot different from many other 1930s pretty faces.  

Commercial tooth powders are still out there, but there are also tons of recipes for homemade tooth powder to be found on the 'net.  I'd try that before I'd pay for it.

                                                 manticore pocket watch !!!

A manticore is a legendary critter with the head of a man and the body of a lion. Some descriptions say the manticore has the tail of a scorpion, but clearly our manticore has a lion's tail. 

BTW, note that sorta faint-ish spot is NOT on the actual watch.  Likely from a little glare in the photo.

The Star Made Me Buy It

Today's star is a kinda unique choice:

                                         Charles Laughton for Pabst Blue Ribbon beer

Charles Laughton was one of those old timey actors whose every performance was perfection.

His performance in The Hunchback of Notre Dame always makes me cry.   

His performance in Ruggles of Red Gap is a total hoot.   

Another one that pulls at my heartstrings is his role in This Land Is Mine.  That movie is a must-see, being one of the few World War II movies that do not actually show much fighting, although there are several Nazis being evil in it.
