WEEKEND WOMEN … CLARA BOW ….. Denise Milani below the fold
I’ve always been fascinated by the silent screen’s very first IT GIRL. There were stars with sex appeal before her of course. None however with a title and universally accepted as the the very pinnacle of sex appeal. Not like her.
Silent film acting was always exaggerated, taking it’s form from Italian opera. Pretty corny stuff and by the way, I never thought Chaplin was funny. But then, I never cared for Elvis either so I’m no proper judge of what the public loves. But .... I sure do agree with the public of her day, who made her a major star. Even in those awful silent films, she stood out. She was watchable. She was wonderful. She was, sexy. She was ....
CLARA BOW 1905 - 1965
Pretty racy for the day and age. Clara is not wearing a bra here.
OH MY GOSH. WHAT’S THAT BELOW THE FOLD?

weekend women around the world
CELEBRATING YOUTH AND BEAUTY AND THE FEMALE FORM AROUND THE WORLD. How damn sad it refuses to last in spite of all demands to do so. Mom Nature won’t be fooled.
One Brit journalist has described this gorgeous American beauty as, A Black Goddess. I believe I agree from what little I’ve seen.

BROOKLYN DECKER (hey, that’s her name folks.)
POLAND
MARLENA
A thousand years ago when I was really very young, I very much yearned to be a Japanese male coz of course, they had all the Japanese women. I wanted one also. I’ve just always been attracted to those ladies. As years went by not a lot changed except for the fact that I wanted to be many other nationalities too. And for the sames reasons. My first wife who I did love dearly once got a bit frustrated with me for some comment I made with regard to Japanese women. I don’t even recall what I said about them, I just recall her being upset and asking me, “If You Love Japanese Women That much, Why Didn’t You Marry One Of Them?” Without giving it any thought my immediate reply at the time was one I will never forget. I don’t think she would either. I said,
“Because I couldn’t find one that would have me.” I only meant it as a joke. I wasn’t looking for a Japanese girlfriend for gosh sake. Well, not then I wasn’t.
I think that marriage might have been doomed from that point on.

WAIT A MINUTE, THAT’S NOT ALL FOLKS. The left overs are below the fold.

A digital diversion
So Chris emails me a link. It’s to a neat geological web page that examines Global Warming and concludes, duh, that the temperatures have been going up and down forever. And that CO2 levels have nothing at all to do with it, that those levels often lag 800 years behind actual climate change, and that at one point in the way way way back, the climate was considerably cooler, yet atmospheric CO2 was 18 times higher than it is right now. Lots of graphs, and an interesting bit of actual science. Plus the author shows how the whole thing is a damnable scam, created to frighten people out of their tax dollars. With self-condemning quotes too. Nice.
So I read that stuff, and explored the rest of that page. It turns out to be a bit about West Virginia geology, and coal mining there. How it’s a good thing that puts people to work. How these days strip mining rebuilds the land when they’re finished, and how the EPA is a bit shortsighted in requiring the miners to put things back “as they were originally”. Because it’s just as easy to fill the holes and replace the overburden and build nice flat farmland that people could use, but no, the EPA demands they build steep hills. Except that “originally” if you go back far enough, West Virginia was flat. It was swampland. On the equator. When the coal beds were laid down, 300 million years ago or thereabouts.
But they kept talking about peat, and Lignite, and bituminous coal. Hey, I didn’t know bituminous came in several varieties. Ok, fine, but what about anthracite? Not a word. I guess WV doesn’t have any. It’s a Pennsylvania thing. So I looked it up. And it is.
Somehow I had thought it was all gone. Not true. Sure, once upon a time miners wrested 114 million tons of the stuff out of the ground per year, but their great grandsons are still pulling up 5 million tons of the stuff per year today. Born one mornin’ when the sun didn’t shine ...
Anthracite is hard coal, the kind that burns with very little flame and almost no smoke, but lots of heat. Kind of like nice dry birch logs in your fireplace. Is it the “Clean Coal” we’ve been looking for? I can’t say, but the good folks at Reading Anthracite seem to think so:
Mother Nature’s Clean Coal™
The inherent, natural qualities of anthracite coal from the Reading Anthracite Company address the needs for energy, carbon and media solutions.
... even if the media solutions they are talking about are for filtering applications, not the MSM. Um, uh, wait ... aren’t they the same thing? 
So I’m reading all about this hard coal, realizing I’ve got a couple of chunks of it around here somewhere. And that somewhere back in my past, I’ve been in front of a coal fire. I can’t remember where, or when, but I remember it smelled nice. A much softer aroma than pine smoke. And I’m reading how the first commercially dug load of this coal went by barge down the Susquehanna River, the river that’s older than time (really, it almost is. It runs across the mountains not along them. Because the river was already there before the mountains woke up and started growing. And those mountains are the worn down stubs of what they used to be) and it’s starting to feel like Home News. Because I used to live by that river, since one end of it runs through Binghamton NY, where lives the old alma mata. Ok, Three Mile Island is on it too, but way downstream. And that this more expensive black rock was used as a premium fuel by a famous railroad of it’s day, the Lackawanna. Now it’s definitely data within my ken, as I’ve been aware of that line my entire life. In it’s latter days it was the Erie-Lackawanna, but I knew it as the Delaware Lackawanna & Western. The D.L. & W. The “delay, linger, and wait” line that ran across NY, NJ, and PA. And I’m a would-be train junkie anyway. Love them. But I never got the true addiction, never became a train-head. But Big Steam and Old Diesel float my boat, both as physical artifacts and their impact on social history. Like airplanes, only with lots and lots of added mass.
And then the Wiki post mentions Phoebe Snow, and I knew it was Kismet. The Phoebe Snow was the name of the train my mother used to ride to go to college. Back in the days when trains had names, it had the prettiest one. And that’s all I knew about it. And somewhere in this digital odyssey I saw mention of the Lackawanna Cut-off and it all hit home. That’s local history, a turn of last century engineering marvel that was so soon forgotten.
Peiper has the advantage of living in a 2300 year old town, a place that values history. I don’t. Nor do most Americans. Everything is new, everything is now. We kind of shake our heads at our children, or our grandchildren, who think that 1985 was so long ago that dinosaurs still walked the earth. We have no real sense of history here, aside from the rare battlefield park, or some well made colonial building that still stands. Everything else gets torn down, or built over. And then lost. But I had heard of the Cut-off. It’s not far from here. So I started looking. And found that the old rail line that it replaced ... is still here. I drive over the Oxford Tunnel at least once a week to get up to the bowling alley, and I never knew it was there. 103 years ago, the town where I bowl was a going concern, but the cut-off put them out of business, and they still haven’t fully recovered.
A little bit up the same road from the bridge in the picture, outside of the tiny town of Hampton, is another giant pile of concrete. A huge thing. A modern Ozymandius. It has to be the base of another railroad bridge from days gone by. Just the barn size concrete base remains, right up against the road, the bridge missing, the rail bed gone and built over. I always wondered about it, but I couldn’t even envision which way the tracks may have went. I think I might know now; it fell victim to engulf and devour, circa 1900.
Until the mid 1960’s train tracks criss-crossed this state. They were everywhere. The lumber yard downtown here is a rail station. The tracks are gone though. History, buried and forgotten. So many towns have “depot” or “junction” or “station” in their names, but no trains roll by anymore. Want to talk about long gone? Before the trains there were canals. All over the place around here. There’s a little town a dozen miles north east of here called Port Morris. Right next to it is a place called Landing. There is no river anywhere near them you could float anything bigger than a canoe in. But they used to be canal towns. Hey, so did Binghamton. So did lots of places in the north east.
So, canals, cut-offs, railroads that have puffed their way onto the pages of the past. Mysterious lumps of concrete and my awareness that all that is now, was once not. Sadness? No, just something to ponder on a gray cold winter afternoon.
And the Phoebe Snow? Not just the name of a train. A sexy pin-up from the days before emancipation. Before the ideas of sexy or pin-up existed. An icon from the birth of marketing so successful that it drove crowds wild. One of the original hotties. O.H. bay-bay. And a source of memorable jingles far older than the Burma-Shave limericks. Because it all comes together you see. Phoebe Snow was the It Girl of her day, but she was made up. To sell tickets on the railroad. The Lackawanna railroad. And they used her, a confident and lovely woman off on her own [!!! shudders!!!] all dressed in white ... because they powered the train with anthracite, and you could ride that train without looking like Bert the chimney sweep (chim chim cheroo) at ride’s end. And they did it with poetry. Ok, with doggerel, but that’s close enough:
And Phoebe knows
That smoke and cinders
Spoil good clothes
‘Tis thus a pleasure
And delight
To take the Road
Of Anthracite
For fluff and frill
Miss Phoebe finds
Is nearly nil.
It’s always light
Though gowns of white
Are worn on Road
Of Anthracite
And she made them millions. Her face and elegantly dressed figure were on billboards, postcards, trading cards. She sold the idea of a clean train, a luxury ride from New York City to Buffalo NY, the northern gateway city to the interior of the whole country in those days. And not just the ride. She sold the notion of lux, whether in it’s modern posh form, or in it’s more original photonic meaning
by night or day
enjoy her book upon the way
Electric light
dispels the night
Upon the Road of Anthracite
The land in the central and eastern portions of Pennsylvania is very folded. Folded like the serpentine bit in the middle of a piece of cardboard. It’s called the Endless Mountain area, and with good reason. And the eastern edge of that Endlessness starts right here in NJ, pretty much under my feet. So when they built the Cut-off, the idea was to level out and to straighten out the train tracks, which up until then had to double back and forth all over the place to get over the hills and valleys they couldn’t tunnel through. Which is why the Cut-Off was an engineering marvel on the order of building the Panama Canal. When it was all done it had several of the largest fill areas under the roadbed in the nation. A fill is what you build when you have to get your choo-choo across a declivity in the land too shallow and perhaps too long to build a bridge over. It’s a bloody great pile of rock, with trains on top. And when they hit rivers that couldn’t be filled, they built the 3 largest viaducts in history, 2 of them right here in NJ, and pioneered the used of reinforced concrete. And they did it on time, and under budget, for both the Paulinskill and the Delaware River viaducts. And they’re still standing, 103 years later. In 1907, taking a high speed train (70mph!) across those bridges, 120 feet up in the air, must have felt like that other new-fangled activity, flying. So of course they had Phoebe sell that experience too
My favorite trains
O’ertop the lofty mountain chains
There’s cool delight
At such a height
Upon the Road of Anthracite
And you could take the train from Hoboken (just across the tunnel from NYC) to Buffalo in a mere 8 hours. And be well fed and not get dirty. They made more millions.
But they could not escape the Law of Unintended Consequences. Phoebe Snow planted the seed of the idea of the Independent Woman in people’s minds. Sure, she was classy, and proper, and not at all naughty. And perfectly safe and well cared for on her special train. But she was doing it all without a man leading her around. Amazing. Radical. And still the subject of both Advertising and Womyn’s Studies today.
As an icon, she sold a clean ride and a new cultural image for the American Girl on the go—an image that lasted nearly 70 years.
How about that?

WEEKEND WOMEN
Had early visitors and they stayed. And stayed. I guess that’s okay because we like em. Nice ppl. Thing is, why do parents and grandparents ALWAYS think that other folks wanna hear ALL ABOUT their offspring? It isn’t like you can tell em to buzz off, especially when you did the inviting. And you like em enough so that you make the appropriate noises etc., but oh gosh how boring. Thank heaven they didn’t bring photos. OK, it’s Sat again and I’m wondering where the week went.
AN ERA WHEN GLAMOR WAS AN IMPORTANT PART OF THE TOTAL PACKAGE.
I did one photo of this wonderful woman last week and can’t resist these follow ups. How beautiful she was.

WEEKEND WOMEN AMY ADAMS ,,, cheers all
The world is full of beautiful women and I wish I had time to see em all. Can’t of course so I’ll be very happy with the ones my gaze does fall on.
Until last weekend, I had never heard of Amy Adams. There happened to be a feature on her in one of the weekend magazine supplements and I was drawn to her looks of course. We were meant to after all. But what impressed me a lot was the true and honest nature of the lady, as opposed to all bad stuff we often read about. She just seems a genuine person and a very likable one too.
BTW, I have hardly seen so darn many photos of one actress since I started doing this WW thing. She’s everywhere on the net. Google her name and there are so many photos it really is hard work trying to pick only a few. I had thought of using a couple of her pix along with several others but found it next to impossible. I think another attraction I have for her if I may be honest, is that she reminds me in some ways of two of my favorite women on screen. Two of my three personal goddesses embodied in this one actress. RITA HAYWORTH and ANN MARGARET. (3rd goddess is Awesome Angela Lansbury, when she was in her 20’s for those who don’t know)
In her photos Amy Adams looks taller to me but she’s only 5’4”. I guess that’s all we need.
Amy Adams
That’s all folks .....
Wait a minute, wait a minute, you ain’t seen nothin’ yet.

WEEKEND WOMAN……. SOPHIE DAHL
Her name is SOPHIE DAHL, she comes from a very theatrical family whose names would be familiar to Brits.
However, also related is an American name from the past, actress Patricia Neal.
Her late granddad is the creator of Willy Wonka and the author or countless children’s books. He was an illustrator as well and didn’t pass away a poor man. Quite a talented poet and I’m not much on that stuff, but he is a hoot with something called revolting poems based on fairytales. The man had a sense of humor. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7de5nV1aQoU It’s Little Red Riding Hood, but not as you’ve ever heard it.
For those who may be interested: LOTS OF DAHL INFO HERE
It’s been awhile since I posted the really older photos and I plan on getting back to that when I can. Been pressed for time here lately.
Here’s some background on this lady. I can’t please every single person I know, so I just have to post the heartthrobs I like and hope you do too.
(Born Sophie Holloway, 15 September 1977 in London) is an English author and model. She is the daughter of actor Julian Holloway and writer Tessa Dahl. Her maternal grandparents were author Roald Dahl and actress Patricia Neal. Her paternal grandfather was actor Stanley Holloway.

WEEKEND WOMEN
OK, once again Drew led me someplace nice and I managed to lose the link. He did something with Russian women this week past and I thought I’d use one from the site. Now I can’t recall which site I used (I had another as well) for one of them. But no matter. I think the important thing is that they are pretty and nice to look at. And we really should look while we can because those looks won’t last and neither will we.
So ... first, off to Russia. I love the eyes and the look but didn’t get her name. So I call her Russian Eyes.
VALENTINA ZELYAENA
NATALIE CLEIN
Born in Poole,Dorset.
Made her concerto debut at The Proms in August 1997, performing the Haydn Cello Concerto in C major. The Proms is a series of concerts that last four weeks in the summer. Some nights the concerts are beamed to some of the large parks in major cities, where ppl can sit in the park and watch the concert on huge screens.
VIVE LA CATHERINE!
CATHERINE DENEUVE
Always LOVED Catherine Deneuve and not just her looks. Just something about her.
BUT ... Many years before there was Catherine, there was another French beauty I first saw in a James Cagney movie called “What Price Glory.” 1952.
It wasn’t that I hadn’t discovered girls yet. But no movie star of the day or girl friend of the moment could compete with this charmer. I never ever forgot her either. An interesting side note about this actress btw.
Born 1925 in Paris. Her mother was one of the scientists who contributed to the invention of Pyrex, a glassware that enabled food to be cooked directly in the glass in an oven. She decided to become an actress while studying law at the Sorbonne. The Sorbonne ppl. In an age before dumbing down. So this lady had to have smarts along with talent which only enhances her looks for me. Next to my first grade teacher, my next real crush.
CORINNE CALVET (1925 - 2001)
And those are my Weekend Women for now.

WEEKEND WOMEN ….
Brit actress leads off this weeks collection and this is about the best shot I found. She’s in a well known TV series here. It’s a soaper called EastEnders.
I found a color shot but didn’t like it so changed it to blk & wht. I think it looks better this way. DO NOT VISIT her UNOFFICIAL SITE. Of course now you will but I have to warn you that I think it might be buggy or worse. I didn’t see any warning from FFox or McAfee but when you suddenly find yourself someplace you don’t wanna be, that’s a warning to me. This shot came from a safe site.
RITA SIMONS
Wanna talk about powerful women, here’s one for ya. Right. You want to look. Fine. She’s a co-founder and head honcho of Jimmy Choo Shoes. Means zip to me but I understand women know the line. Though I’m confused. Ladies, if there be any, how many ways can those things you walk in be designed? There always seems to be so little in em and you pay so much. Of course I love seeing you in em and they do accentuate the legs and curve of the calf etc. I’m not sure about the bikini to be honest. Sometimes showing less is sexier. Showing almost all leaves nothing to dream about. I wonder if she’s related to the famous Mellon banking fortune.
So then here’s
TAMARA MELLON
For more of lovely Tamara, see below the fold.
Seems to get harder and harder to find the exact olde time photos I love so much. I find em okay but lately what I’m finding is a lot of watermarked and copy write stuff I can’t copy. I’ll keep looking though cause I enjoy the natural looks of those women. Like this one from the early 1900s. I don’t have the exact date but it doesn’t seem to matter. She was so darn pretty. And even her hair looked ok although once again, modern hair styles would have framed this pretty face better.
MISS PEGGY KURTON (actress)
I only know this lady is a model cos it said so somewhere. Never heard of her but then you can put that down to age. Regardless, she sure is pretty and so belongs here. And what an unusual name. I kinda like it. I think. ?
TAMSIN EGERTON
When you folks were growing up and were itty biddy children, did your children’s doctor look like ...
DOCTOR KATE JAMES
OH MY GOSH BY GOLLY ... I LOVE THIS. It’s a 1935 Doozy. Or is it spelled Duzy? Whatever ... it’s a
Duesenberg
That’s all for today. Bye-bye.

WEEKEND WOMEN
So I thought I would start out with mommy and daughter.
GOLDIE HAWN has long been a favorite. Not only her looks but her talent as an actress and as a director. Have liked her since Laugh In days. She always stood out from the crowd. I know hardly anything about her daughter KATE HUDSON except that she is a stunner. I think I may once have seen her in a movie. Can’t remember.
GOLDIE HAWN AND KATE HUDSON
Gee guys, don’t we just LOVE pretty women? Well, I think most of us do. I look at either of these two and melt and can’t imagine ever wanting to hold hands with Kurt Russell. Much less anything else. The only thing that rivals these ladies might, I say might, be beautiful classic cars. Like this for example.
STUTZ BEARCAT
I could fill this page and more with cars but then it wouldn't be Weekend Women. Maybe I'll include a car each week. Just one. Cos I truly LOVE the horseless carriage.
OK .. Here’s some cheese cake from the year 1909. MISS MAIE ASH But then things pick up a bit by the 1930’s and a favorite blond bombshell from that era,the fabulous JEAN HARLOW.
My finale for today was not a find of my own. If anyone doesn’t like this awesome beauty from Russia, blame Drew. He sent it to me. How could I ignore this one. No way Hozay. She is gor-jus but I have to say. Women really don’t look like this everyday unless they’re posing for a camera or dating Tiger Woods.
And none of them look this good.

WEEKEND WOMEN
She’s Amanda Holden, I understand she’s on TV a lot here and the USA. I keep seeing features on her in papers and magazines, but haven’t any TV.
I think I need to check out YT. I keep forgetting that. Anyway ... I think she’s very pretty.
“Amaanda, Light of my life. Fate should have made you a gentleman’s wife ....”
Don Williams (country music 70s)
AMANDA HOLDEN
Now this pretty lady will bring tears to your eyes when you learn her sad story. She and hubby got into a serious financial crunch of major proportions and had to give up their multi-million dollar mansion for one in single digits. Damn. See? Other people have problem too so we should never gripe about ours. The grass is not always greener.
ANTHEA TURNER
GO HERE To see the house they lost and what the poor kids had to move into. Oh how the mighty have fallen.
OK, now I get to go to my favorites. Eye Candy from the long dead past. Women of class and charm and beauty. Not to say many do not have that today. But there’s a mystique surrounding these others. Could be because most of their private lives really were mostly private. No intrusive hidden cameras to catch their bad days.
Sorry it doesn’t show it here but, she was very blond and very popular.
In days when actresses were billed as Miss and Mrs. Early 1900s.

- Keep a firm grasp of Right and Wrong
- Stay involved with government on every level and don't let those bastards get away with a thing
- Use every legal means to defend yourself in the event of real internal trouble, and, most importantly:
- Keep talking to each other, whether here or elsewhere
