> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Speaker for the Dead \* > \*\*You _are_ joking, right? 😉 \*\* Nope. Sure ain’t. Lovely Jayne Mansfield, ahhhh. 😃 Now, **that’s** what I call a lady! None of this contemporary Calista Flockhart, Christina Aguilera walking-skeleton-bulimia-anorexia-starvation-trend crap. Note: I recently saw an OLD Ally Mc Beal episode, before she became one of the living dead. Calista was so much cuter then. ---

In fact, I was afraid that her boobs were going to hit me in the face. Oh, and in one of those pictures, they [the boobs] don’t look like they are being supported correctly. That must’ve been so uncomfortable. (Yes, they are a separate entity.) Oh, and her hair is just too scary. Too blonde. Bleh. But then I might be just some jealous female who wishes that guys would oooh and aaah over her figure. NAH! 🙂 ---

Oh come on. She’s attractive. She has her own real beauty. I may personally think Ingrid Bergman or Marilyn Monroe are a little prettier, but get real. Nothing’s wrong with Jayne Mansfield’s looks! I wouldn’t complain at _all_ if I looked like her! What is wrong with you people? She’s not at all unattractive. Maybe a little too “squeezed” into her dress, but you can tell - underneath all the glitz and hokey hairstyle, she was a pretty woman. We all have our own standards of beauty. And I don’t think there’s _anything_ wrong with MSK’s taste. I also agree - to my sensibilities, she’s much prettier (and more “real”) than the ultra skinny types, like Calista. And there’s _nothing_ wrong with having big boobs, dammit. If I recall correctly, Jayne was born with her figure, it wasn’t surgically enhanced. (Looking in preview: Feynn - your links don’t work.) ---

theres a jayne mansfield movie called ‘the girls gotta have it.’ the opening scene involves her walking down the street in an impossibly tight dress while various working class men get heated up while watching her. the milkman, for instance, is holding a quart bottle of milk, which, ahem, boils up and shoots all over the place. paging dr freud! ---
