Propaganda

Margaret Lindsay (Frisco Kid, The House of the Seven Gables, Scarlet Street)—she was born in Dubuque, Iowa, then moved to England to make her stage debut. She framed herself as a British actress and moved back to America to try Hollywood, then starred with James Cagney in a bunch of movies. She was in the Ellery Queen movie series and The House of the Seven Gables. She never married (I suspect lesbian stuff) but lived with her sisters. She dated Cesar Romero and Liberace (I told you. Lesbian stuff.) Please include the pic of her in the tie [included above]

Mae West (She Done Him Wrong, I'm No Angel)—She is an absolute icon, the OG sex symbol. Every word from her mouth was an innuendo and she was proud of it. I guess one could say she slayed. She got Cary Grant his first acting role, as well. How could you NOT vote for someone who says such iconic stuff as "I do all my writing in bed; everybody knows I do my best work there" or "You only live once, but if you do it right, once is enough." SHE COINED THE PHRASE "IS THAT A GUN IN YOUR POCKET OR ARE YOU JUST HAPPY TO SEE ME?" I LOVE HER!!!

Margaret Lindsay:

Mae West:

Her voice! Her body! She was thick as hell and SO confident.

Mae West is often called the queen of the sexual pun or innuendo, she was an early sex symbol and a comedy icon. She also has a quote saying "When I am good, I am very good. But when I am bad I am better!" which is possibly the peak of hot girl energy ever. (Including the clip here)

for an era that didn't have much wiggle room when it came to women that studios wanted in their films, it's refreshing that she was in her late 30s when she skyrocketed to movie fame. she was also curvy and witty and raunchy, an absolute icon!

Legendary sex symbol. Like 500 vintage iconic quotes and double entendres. "Is that a gun in your pocket, or are you just happy to see me? " "When I'm good, I'm very good. But when I'm bad, I'm better" / "It's not the men in your life that count, it's the life in your men" / "I feel like a million tonight. But one at a time." , "Marriage is a fine institution, but I'm not ready for an institution. " / " How tall are you without your horse? Six foot, seven inches. Never mind the six feet. Let's talk about the seven inches! " Look the pictures don't do her justice just watch a compilation and tell me that voice doesn't do it for you

She was a SEX GODDESS at a time when that was an extremely scandalous thing to be, and she worked it! She was sardonic, sarcastic, funny...and stacked! Favorite quote (from Night After Night, 1933): Random woman: Goodness! What beautiful diamonds! Mae West: Goodness had nothin' to do with it, dearie.

i personally love this silly production number from one of her lesser known movies

She was arrested for indecency and chose to serve 10 days in prison instead of paying the fine for the publicity, and she claimed that she refused to wear the ugly prison outfits so she wore her silk lingerie the entire time. Also one of the first historybound vintage fashion icons (although vintage for her was the Victorian era)

Period dramas dresses tournament: Blue dresses Round 1- Group C: Lady Mae Loxley, Mr Selfridge vs Anne Shirley-Cuthbert, Anne with an E (gifset)

Propagandas (written by submitters)

For Mae's dress: Another pic

For Anne's dress: okay so i am not actually a huge fan of the costumes from this show in general (mostly bc i have the sullivan version as a point of comparison and the clothes on that bitch were IMMACULATE) however, i feel like this particular dress deserves to be in the running. it was a significant moment for the character, in a "look how grown she is! look how far we've come!" kinda way. plus the vibrancy of the blue is *mwah* gorgeous

Everyday I think abt what the fuck kind of tomfoolery she was partaking in during the events of Camp Cretaceous.

Propaganda

Rosalind Russell (His Girl Friday, Auntie Mame, The Women)—Hugely influential in her role as Hildy in His Girl Friday, Russell is perhaps the greatest influence on the character of Lois Lane. Catty, hilarious and charming, Russell is the blueprint for every sharp tongued transatlantic diva. In The Women she wears a series of incredible fits including a wonderful Schiaparelli dress covered in eyes. Later in her career she was the incredible Queer Icon Mame, a model of bohemian life that still resonates today

Nina Mae McKinney (Hallelujah, Pie Pie Blackbird, The Devil’s Daughter)—One of the first black movie stars, Nina worked with Bill ‘Bojangles’ Robinson, King Vidor, and Paul Robeson. She was the first Black Actress to be signed to one of the major studios, MGM, but her career was stalled by a lack of roles.

Rosalind Russell:

She's funny! She's glamorous! She stood up for herself! She took her own initiative to make sure her role in His Girl Friday was funny enough to stand up to Cary Grant!

Funny, fast talking, witty, triple threat, so charming that her husband of 35 years watched her in a movie and decided he needed to meet her and he was going to marry her, and got Cary Grant to arrange a meeting. Grant was best man at their wedding. Was a big supporter and funder of arthritis research and was honoured by Congress for her work in that field.

She’s just so fucking funny. She gave another woman a permanent scar from biting her leg in a scene and this is a story she herself told in interviews. This maybe true maybe not piece of IMDB trivia is never far from my mind: At the wrap party, Rosalind Russell was dancing with George Cukor, when Ernst Lubitsch passed her and said, "If you want more close-ups in the picture, never mind dancing with your director, you'd better dance with Norma Shearer!" Without missing a beat, Russell took Shearer's hand with a wink and danced her across the floor.

Nina Mae McKinney:

Hollywood's first Black vamp, and have you seen her dance? 👀

She has such delicate features and such a delightfully impish smile

[cursedvida]

i sent this to another blog but it’s still on my mind so i need to vent everywhere ig

Mae showing Noa human music !!! and her kind of showing him how to dance !! and they’re both all shy and hesitant but they just need an escape from their screwed up world for a bit !!

i’m delusional

They have been able to preserve human technology and furthermore: the movie's lore has decided to disregard planned obsolescence making us see that 300 years later an abandoned vault can have electricity as if nothing, so we can assume that intelligent humans probably preserved part of the existing human culture before 2011, and that includes music. So why not, Mae could probably teach Noa some catchy tunes, even if she herself doesn't dance very well, just because they make her forget her crappy life for a few moments. And obviously, Noa would be blown away because he has never heard anything like it in his life, but it's rhythmic and catchy and makes you want to move. And everything is going well and akward but funny until suddenly something like "Iris" by Goo Goo Dolls starts playing in the playlist (or better, the fucking “Don’t you (forget about me) by Simply Minds wich is sooo Nomae coded) and they both look at each other very uncomfortably because neither was prepared for such a sudden emotional whirlwind that for some reason they see as a personal attack.

Three different colorization options for Mae West and W.C. Fields in My Little Chickadee (1940).

Do you prefer Mae in purple, red, or blue?
