"August Pin-ups 2022"

 The first woman to be known as a bombshell was Jean Harlow, nicknamed the "blonde bombshell" for her film Platinum Blonde (1931). Two years later, she starred in the Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer film Bombshell (1933). One of the blurbs on posters was "Lovely, luscious, exotic Jean Harlow as the Blonde Bombshell of filmdom."

Hollywood soon took up the blonde bombshell, and then, during the late 1940s through the early 1960s, brunette, exotic, and ethnic versions (e.g., Jane Russell, Dorothy Dandridge, and Sophia Loren) were also cultivated as complements to, or as satellites of, the blonde bombshell and forever known as pin-ups. I hope you enjoy this month’s group of girls as much as I …

"Charge Book Entry"

When I made Chief, one of my charge book entries said ...

"It's inevitable. One day you are going to piss off a junior sailor and he is going to dirty-dick your coffee cup. Just get used to the idea now. It's gonna happen and you're kidding yourself if you think any differently."

"Sailors & Girls"

 

Seaman Jones and his shipmate just pulled into port and decided to hit the town looking for some women. Halfway through the evening, they were drinking in a nightclub when a girl at the other end of the bar winked at Jone’s shipmate…

“Hey Jones, th-th-th-that girl over there just winked at me … what should I do?”

“Wink back.”

… Said Jones …

A little later the girl smiled at him …

“Hey Jones, sh-sh-sh-she’s smiling at me.”

“Well smile back.”

… Said Jones …

A moment later he turned back to his shipmate and gasped…

“Jo-Jones, she’s just lean't over and shown me her tits. What should I do?”

“Show her your nuts.”

… Said Jones as he was chatting up another girl …

So his shipmate turned to face the girl, put one finger in his ear, one finger up his nose, and hollered like a jackass!!!
