Do you have any interview suggestions from women who I can take inspo when it comes to being more feminine and speaking more confidently in public?
I love watching Eartha Kitt speak, and act - whatever the case may be, she was such a unique woman. Super theatrical, extremely confident, and made her presence known in every room she entered. And her voice!!!! I love her: Speaking Freely: Eartha Kitt
Diana Ross was so dreamy in this interview. Physically of course she's just perfect but her attractive and positive personality makes her a 10/10. She's another one who's just super eloquent and articulate. Diana Ross on The Russell Harty Show
I love Miss. Jackson! I think she's one of the few women who really exudes sex appeal all while not trying too hard in doing so. Her soft voice, her smile, her super pure and kind personality - perfect example of how this particular appeal should never be forced. i could see how anyone can fold just being in her presence. Janet Jackson Late Night With Conan O'Brien
The persona that Marylin Monroe portrayed to the public was essentially an act as she wasn't being authentically herself, but she can be used as a source of inspiration nonetheless. Marylin was pretty consistent with having this child-like, super feminine innocence about her. I personally found it to be adorable. It's pretty obvious why she was the bombshell of the 50s. Marilyn Monroe Rare Footage And interview Paris Ball 1957
Diahann Carroll is literally a no-brainer. How she spoke and her poise was admirable. I think she's the epitome of someone who was bougie and she personified this word in any and every way. Huge inspiration when it comes to presenting yourself in public: Johnny Carson Interview Diahann Carroll
Diana Dors has been a new favorite of mine. My favorite 50s blonde bombshell has always been Marylin and although the two are somewhat similar looks-wise, Diana had more of an edge to her personality-wise. I really love this interview from her, the interviewer was very much so misogynistic with his questions but Diana handled it with class: Diana Dors--Complete Mike Wallace Interview, 1957

Those in italics have five or more pieces of usable visual, written, or audio propaganda already. If you have any visuals like photos or videos, or if you have something to say in words, submit it to this blog before round one begins on June 25th!
If you don't see a name you submitted here, it's because most or all of their career was as a child/they were too young for the cutoff, their career was almost entirely after 1979, or music was something they only dabbled in and are hardly known for. There are quite a few ladies on the list whose primary career wasn't "recording artist" or "live musician," but released several albums or were in musical theater, so they've been accepted.
#long post#miss billboard tourney#i wasn't originally going to list them all but i decided to do so because there are so many without propaganda

TV Guide - December 12 - 18, 1964
Julie Newmar (born Julia Chalene Newmeyer, August 16, 1933) is an American actress, dancer, and singer, known for a variety of stage, screen, and television roles.
Newmar's fame stems mainly from her television appearances. Her statuesque form and height made her a larger-than-life sex symbol, most often cast as a temptress or Amazonian beauty, including an early appearance in sexy maid costume on The Phil Silvers Show. She starred as Rhoda the Robot on the television series My Living Doll (1964–1965), and is known for her recurring role on the 1960s television series Batman as the villainess Catwoman. (Lee Meriwether played Catwoman in the 1966 feature film and Eartha Kitt in the series' final season.) Newmar modified her Catwoman costume—now in the Smithsonian Institution—and placed the belt at the hips instead of the waist to emphasize her hourglass figure.
In 1962, Newmar appeared twice as the motorcycle-riding, free-spirited heiress Vicki Russell on Route 66, filmed in Tucson ("How Much a Pound Is Albatross") and in Tennessee ("Give the Old Cat a Tender Mouse"). She guest-starred on The Twilight Zone as the devil in "Of Late I Think of Cliffordville", F Troop ("Yellow Bird" in 1966) as a girl kidnapped as a child and raised by Native Americans, Bewitched ("The Eight-Year Itch Witch" in 1971) as a cat named Ophelia given human form, The Beverly Hillbillies as a Swedish actress who stays with the Clampetts to learn their accents and mannerisms for a role, and Get Smart as a double agent assigned to Maxwell Smart's apartment posing as a maid. In 1967, she guest-starred as April Conquest in an episode of The Monkees ("Monkees Get Out More Dirt", season 1, episode 29), in which the main characters all fall in love with her, and was the pregnant Capellan princess, Eleen, in the Star Trek episode "Friday's Child". In 1969, she played a hit woman in the It Takes a Thief episode "The Funeral is on Mundy" with Robert Wagner. In 1983, she reprised the hit-woman role on Hart to Hart, Wagner's later television series, in the episode "A Change of Hart". In the 1970s, she had guest roles on Columbo and The Bionic Woman.
Newmar appeared in several low-budget films during the next two decades. She guest-starred on TV, appearing on The Love Boat, Buck Rogers in the 25th Century, CHiPs, and Fantasy Island. She was seen in the music video for George Michael's "Too Funky" in 1992, and appeared as herself in a 1996 episode of Melrose Place. (Wikipedia)

I spent most of my free time in September and October either working on a very cute space blanket for my friend's kid's 1st bday or staring at my wall (depression) but here's what I read anyway
The bad: none, because I'm mature enough now to quit books when I realize I'm not into them
The fine:
The Cloven Viscount by Italo Calvino: a pretty grim fairy tale that has a very fairy tale ending in that everything closes neatly and also kind of abrubtly. RATW book for Italy.
The Queer Principles of Kitt Webb by Cat Sebastian: not my favorite of hers!
The Year of the Witching by Alexis Henderson: spooky and witchy and fun enough while I read it.
You Are Here, ed. Ada Limon: a very mixed bag of poems which typically poetry anthologies are! Still glad I read it!
Interior Chinatown by Charles Yu: a little trippy but fast paced and kind of fun! Looking forward to the Hulu series even though I think they're going to change the plot quite a bit bc idk how the plot of the book would be adapted coherently.
The good:
Sleep Donation by Karen Russell: my short story queen wrote a novella that I liked a lot, just not as much as her short stories. She's got a couple books coming out next year (a collection and a novel) that I'm pretty excited about.
Young Mungo by Douglas Stuart: not as good as Shuggie Bain but still enjoyed it (enjoyed is maybe a weird word for it because it's pretty bleak but u know what I mean). Similar themes but much more plot-y than Shuggie. RATW book for Scotland.
Stitching Freedom by Isabella Rosner: a zine about embroiderers who used embroidery during periods of incarceration for various reasons. Absolutely fascinating, learned a lot, wish it was longer.
The great:
Jamilia by Chingiz Aitmatov: reminded me a lot of My Antonia in the best ways - boy in love with a slightly older girl who he watches from afar as she falls in love w someone else, long descriptions of sweeping landscapes, the difficulties of rural life. A lovely lil novel. RATW book for Kyrgyzstan
How High We Go in the Dark by Sequoia Nagamatsu: fair warning I cried a LOT at this book, it was really sad but also really beautiful and a pretty clever way of structuring a book. Each chapter follows a different narrator but are all about the world after a virus starts infecting people after permafrost in Siberia melts. A lot of characters are vaguely interconnected between chapters but I think it was so well done!

Kronk's New Groove (2005)
While I didn't enjoy this film, that doesn't mean you won't. No matter what I say, the people involved in this project did it: they actually made a movie. That's something to be applauded. With that established...
Kronk’s New Groove is the worst kind of sequel. Not only is it bad, it’s so dreadful it makes you wonder if you really even liked the first movie.
Now the chef and head delivery boy of Mudka’s Meat Hut, Kronk Pepikrankenitz (voiced by Patrick Warburton) should be happy. Instead, he’s worried. His disapproving father is coming to visit and all the loveable lug can think about are the times where he tried - and failed - to obtain the family and house on the hill pops dreamed he’d have.
Think of your favourite jokes from The Emperor’s New Groove. Guess what? It's back! They’re all back! Well, cheap clones of them, anyway. The shot where Yzma (Eartha Kitt) lifts up her dress and the characters recoil in horror because they think the old, ugly witch is trying to be sexy but actually, she’s showing them something else? You get it. How about Chaca (Jessie Flower) and Tipo (Eli Russell Linnetz) arguing? You get that too. The Emperor (David Spade) breaking the fourth wall and commenting on the action? Yup. Yzma’s secret lair beneath the surface? Talking with squirrels? The food that turns out to be disgusting bugs? Check, check, check. Too bad none of it is original or remotely amusing this time.
It goes without saying that this direct-to-video sequel has animation of a significantly lower quality than its predecessor. That’s forgiveable. What isn’t is the quality of the songs. Kronk’s New Groove barely qualifies as a musical but there are just enough tunes to make you regret you have ears. The most memorable number is when Earth, Wind and Fire’s Let’s Groove plays. ‘Cause it has “groove” in the name, get it?
One of the funniest elements of The Emperor’s New Groove was its historical anachronisms. Kronk’s New Groove has them too and they’re constant. It’s set in ancient Incan times but we have scout leaders with British accents, Jewish weddings, references to Titanic and The Lord of the Rings, and so on and so forth. Seems to me as if the writers just threw whatever dusty gags they found in the bin together and called it a day.
Though it isn’t as blatantly obvious as it is in Atlantis: Milo’s Return and Tarzan 2, this all feels suspiciously like a bunch of TV episodes stitched together to make a movie. The first “plot” has Kronk swindling the village fossils out of their savings for a youth potion that doesn’t work after Yzma inexplicably returns. The second is the tale of two rival scout troupes battling it out for a trophy while romance blossoms between Kronk and Miss Birdwell (voiced by Tracey Ullman). After reminiscing these events, Kronk’s father arrives and our hero scrambles to come up with a “family” so pops won’t be disappointed. Are you tired of this movie yet?
Kronk’s New Groove proves a little of its titular character went a long way. You get sick of this movie within a quarter of an hour. Too bad. You’ve got another 57 agonizingly long minutes to go. I’m going to resist giving it the lowest possible score for reasons I can’t explain but it’s a tough inner battle. The audacity of a scene in which Kuzko yells at “the guy up in the projection booth” to restart the movie almost made me laugh. As if any theater would be desperate enough to show this on one of their screens. (February 26, 2021)

Kitt Russell
Kitt Russell graduated in 1942, and was a female impersonater at club 82. I will be choosing to use she/her pronouns for Kitt, since she was either transgender or a drag queen, and used she/her pronouns while onstage.
She performed at Gay box Revue, and supposedly won homecoming queen, but the news sources that reports that is a little sensationalist, so I would have to do more research to figure out if it is true. She is not very famous now, which makes finding information about her very difficult for me. However, I found some newspaper clippings and photos of her, courtesy of Queermusicheritage, which I have put under the readmore.
