Betty Brosmer

Yes!! hourglass figure glamour girl of the 1950's whose modeling career started at the early age of 14 appearing in more than 300 magazine covers of her time and winning over 50 beauty contest before the age of 20...girl was a bombshell. She never appeared nude and was famous for her 38-19-35 figure. She was a real super model of her time and I cannot resist but to say and compare her to pinup phenomenon Mrs. Betty Page. they were both very different but they could both captivate us with their beauty. Betty Brosmer is also known as the pinup girly from the little trees car air fresheners. Now ladies...just by looking at her exquisite pictures i have the urge to go work out and put on a corset for ages. Betty Brosmer is inspiring and to die for and definitely a pinup legend

Tongolele




Growing up in Mexico i remember so well seeing this lady on tv while i would watch with my mom Tin-Tan movies. i secretly admired her and i say secretly because tongoleles hair was often made fun of by my mom and brother, yet i thought it was the most glamourous thing in the world and i still liked her after i seen pictures of her as an old lady!! the way she danced her signature African-Cuban dance was terrific. A teaser and you could say burlesque dancer, was born in the united states from Cuban parents later on she moved to mexico when she started working as a burlesque dancer in the 1940's.
