Here is a loving unrecognizable Keith Moon. It hits all my pasty, scrawny, big-eyebrowed buttons and makes me feel slightly ashamed.

Gen. Ripper posted:I'm thinking of that part in America: The Book where it's remarked that young Russian women are super-hot, but old Russian women are super-ugly. Asians seem to have a similar thing going on. Same with Italian women. Super blazing hot, then the instant they get married *POOF* they turn into fat pasta-cookin' mamas with mustaches.

I've always been quite taken with the stars of old-school Mexican cinema. When I was little, a family friend ran a theater that showed old Mexican movies, and I was fascinated with all the pretty ladies in the posters, like Dolores del Río  and Lupe Vélez   Of course, the ice cream truck would choose this very moment to roll through my neighborhood blasting "La Cucaracha". Ay, dios.

KozmoNaut posted:Some picture I stumbled across on imgur, ostensibly it's from the 1930s. Old picture, but... This was a picture taken by a Farm Security Administration photographer as part of a WPA project in the 1930s, I think either Rothstein or Lange. The gentleman and his family were migrant laborers - they were photographed in the tent they were living in. There are a couple of pictures of him with his wife, but I can't find them at the moment. I've always liked this picture. ETA; Found it. He was an unemployed lumber worker who was going with his wife to the bean harvest. The tattoo on his arm was his social security number. It was taken by Dorothea Lange in Oregon in 1939. Bonster has a new favorite as of 22:06 on Mar 3, 2013 |

I bring you two John Paul Joneses, one because I feel the need to plaster this thread with classic rock dudes, and the other because I feel like I push the definition of history a bit by posting classic rock dudes. John Paul Jones the First, sailor and naval fighter.  John Paul Jones the Second, forgotten member of Led Zeppelin, bassist, organist, lots of other instruments-ist, all-around cool guy.  (I just saw Song Remains the Same for the first time and fell a bit in love). Weirdly enough, John Paul Jones the First looks a bit like John Paul Jones the Second in his old age.

I've had a couple of people contact me about doing commissions based on some pictures I've painted from this thread. I am a bad person and did not check my Etsy account for a month or so, so Toolbag, if you're reading this, are you still interested? You don't have PMs.   (These are all available as prints if anyone is interested...The OP said I was allowed to pimp!) https://www.etsy.com/shop/Rondette

I have way too many historical crushes! French surrealists Andre Breton & Louis Aragon   Amedeo Modigliani   Always thought young Bob Monkhouse was cute  Carole Baker  Tamara de Lempicka  Patricia Highsmith - not particularly nice, but pretty adorable  Edit: Modigliani's muse/lover Jeanne Hébuterne

Amused to Death posted:The prettiest of pretty people though may in fact be Lilian Gish. God drat you, you beat me to it by a page! I watched Birth of a Nation in a film studies class last semester and it taught me two things: 1. Despite its horrible racist qualities, the movie's remarkably similar to modern war epics/blockbusters. 2. Lillian Gish is adorable

King Abdullah II of Jordan appearing in Star Trek Voyager in the mid 90's  Alright, he's attractive, but nothing that stands out, a good deal of the attractiveness is a nation's leader actually made a cameo in Star Trek. Well let's move to the other 1/2 of the marriage, what about his wife Rania   Oh.my.god. gently caress being a princess, apparently you can be both pretty and a queen. e: whoops, I forgot this is the from history thread, people in their 40's and 50's aren't really history. Here's some history. John Jacob Astor IV, most famous for being the richest person to die on the Titanic.(and one of the richest in the world at the time) I always thought he was pretty handsome.

Alive people count?

We're posting hotties from history and no one has posted the Lizard King himself? For shame.   Jim Morrison, Doors frontman and possessor of mystical voice powers that make you love him no matter what type of music you listen to. Without Morrison, you wouldn't have Iggy Pop or the Rolling Stones, both of which went to Doors concerts to learn how to play at the huge arenas and outdoor concerts that the Doors had already been playing for years.

Haha, what? Iggy Pop, sure, he's talked about seeing the Doors in Michigan in '67. But the Stones were filling American arenas and stadiums years before the Doors even had a record out. Do you have a source for your claim? Content: Young Dorothy Parker could break your heart and outwit you.

He's better as an old man.

Iggy Pop, sure, he's talked about seeing the Doors in Michigan in '67. But the Stones were filling American arenas and stadiums years before the Doors even had a record out. Do you have a source for your claim? Years ago I use to have her, “If I don't drive around the park, I'm pretty sure to make my mark. If I'm in bed each night by ten, I may get back my looks again, If I abstain from fun and such, I'll probably amount to much, But I shall stay the way I am, Because I do not give a drat" Written on my wall. Parker's poems don't get enough attention these days. Although, if the story is true(and it's probably apocryphal), Silent Cal may in fact have won the wit game with "Mr. President, I bet I can get you to say at least three words tonight" "You lose"
