Madonna Monday #3 ~ Marie Antoinette

The elegance that was and the rumoured debauchery, but I still love them both, of Marie Antoinette as Vogued by Madonna at the 1990 MTV Awards.

This is for a friend on Twitter and Facebook in Alabama, Angie Long. Last Saturday her puppy Jack disappeared from his front yard last Saturday on Joe Killough Road near the town of Honoraville, Alabama. His Mama Seabee and his human parents miss Jack and are worried about him.

If you see or have or know who does have jack please let Angie know, Angie's blog . Jack is a sweet little pup and his family in Alabama wants him home. Jack is a bit bigger now than he is in his picture.

Noel Toy ~ Chinese Sally Rand

Noel Toy, known also known as the "Chinese Sally Rand" , was born in San Francisco on December 27,1918 as Ngun Yee . She was the first born of eight to Cantonese immigrant parents, who open a laundry service in Inverness, California where the family were the only Chinese family in town.

In 1945 she met and married soldier and character actor Carleton Young when he saw her perform and then fell head over heels in love with Noel at New York's Latin Quarter. The couple had no children and were married until Carelton's death in 1994.

Noel Toy performed her burlesque routines at the Stork Club and other venues in New York before returning to San Francisco where she was most famous at the Forbidden City nightclub, which was compared to an Asian-American Cotton Club and was also the inspiration for the musical and the film Flower Drum Song .

In her later years, Noel Toy worked as an actress with small parts in television and film , including a role in Big Trouble in Little China and frequently portrayed Korean village women in the series M*A*S*H .

Corsets and Lingerie Weekend #3

Fell in love with these Commando Sexy Stripes Pantyhose from Linda the Bra Lady. I'm only known about her for a few days so I still need to have a look around her Linda's site a bit more of it, but these pantyhose got to me. When I pinned it on my Corset & Lingerie board the pantyhose part of the caption that was put was "Get Mile-Long Legs", well my legs are already a mile long but if this gives me longer legs...I don't care. It's not like I would be suffering.
