beefnoodle posted: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? I read it in Jim Morrison: Life, Death, Legend when I was writing a paper about him for my senior seminar. Stephen Davis talks about it and how the Stones were so turned off by Morrison's performance during the concert (the usual Morrison stuff, being too drunk and/or high to actually perform) that the only thing they took away from it was how not to play massive arenas. Edit: This is the book http://www.amazon.com/Jim-Morrison-Life-Death-Legend/dp/159240099X

RIght, the Doors' infamous Hollywood Bowl show, 4 years after the Stones began filling US arenas and stadiums, and years after the Stones had been playing to hundreds of thousands in Hyde Park. So in other words, not at all what you wrote in your first post  Content: Dora Maar, one of Picasso's muses.

Such a badass babe. If you haven't, read WHAT LIPS MY LIPS HAVE KISSED by Daniel Mark Epstein. Easily the best bio on her. For those who don't know, she was a poet. A drat good one, in fact. Thomas Hardy is noted to have said said that the two great draws of the U.S. were skyscrapers and Edna's poetry. My favorite excerpt from her classic poem...

The man in charge of UN peacekeepers in Srebrenica in 1995, Lt col Thomas Karremans, failed to prevent a genocide (though it wasn't all his fault: He had restrictive ROEs) He had a great mustache.

 On topic: Suzannne Valadon, a french painter from the late 1800's. I ever really cared for her art but she's just so dreamy~ I bet she looked wonderful when she smiled.  Catherine the Great was quite a looker when she was young and if her portraits are anything to go by she aged gracefully

First time I laid eyes on this Charlemont at the Philadelphia Museum of Art, I was transfixed. Barbara Bush:  My grandmother (passed in 1941):  and her daughter, my aunt (sadly, also has moved on), who stood 6'3" and still managed to look like Grace Kelly:  and Natalie Wood:  Pity I got no looks from her side of the family.

Supposedly an early photo of Abraham Lincoln. It's so odd seeing him without the beard.

KozmoNaut posted:Early photo of Abraham Lincoln. It's so odd seeing him without the beard. Fun fact: This daguerreotype was actually entitled "Portrait of a Young Man" and there was some question about whether it was actually Lincoln or not so they used other known photos to match up the crack in his skull from where a horse had kicked him when he was a boy.

Something about that photo of Lincoln strikes me as goony. Maybe it's that vaguely smirk-ish look on his face. Maybe it's knowing he decided to grow out the gooniest of groomed beards, the chin-strap.

Ladies and gentlemen, I give you the only man who could pull off a neckbeard: Friedrich Engels.  He later grew it into this big fuzzy thing and was still pretty tasty.  He also wasn't a neckbeard stereotype in that, particularly for a man in the 1840s, he was a feminist - part of the reason he wanted to abolish private property was so that women wouldn't be dependent on their husbands or fathers for all their money. That bit didn't make it into the Communist Manifesto, but it's in his earlier writing. Apparently he was a cheery bohemian ladies man who held wild drunken parties too.

While I in no way wish to perpetuate or support Nazi ideals, I must say, I find Ernst Röhm was one handsome dude. He also was known for sleeping around with young soldiers, the more you know reading Wikipedia instead of studying for finals!

KozmoNaut posted:Early photo of Abraham Lincoln. It's so odd seeing him without the beard. I don't mean to derail too much here, but I'm having a lot of trouble believing that's a picture of Lincoln. I read about the whole thing just now, and looked at some other photos of Lincoln from what should have been around the same time, and it really honest to god doesn't look like the same person even remotely. Maybe I'm nuts, but I don't see how anyone thinks that's him.  This image was supposed to have been taken in the 1840s, which if I read correctly is when they think that daguerrotype was taken. I don't see any resemblance whatsoever.

While watching Nacht Fiel über Gotenhafen (Night Fell on Gotenhafen) in my German class, I ran across this lovely actress. Her name is Sonja Ziemann, and she was quite the looker in this film. Not pictured is a dapper young actor playing a naval officer, of whom there appear to be few pictures, and even fewer that are good.  You can watch the movie in German at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RenSjozaryM. Unfortunately, there are no subs, but if you know the language, it's actually pretty good.
