    For some reason, and I have no idea why, but for some infathomable reason I expected to see Shirley Temple in that picture. A kid Shirley Temple, not even a Bachelor and the Bobby Soxer Shirley Temple. Picture little Shirley Temple in a smoke filled room playing poker with Sinatra and pals, talking like a grizzled card shark. “I’m called the virgin because when I play all the rest of the chumps get screwed.”

    You know, I think Dean in his prime could give us a fantastic version of Twilight, fwiw.

    I totally dig the wood panelling and the albums in the corner. Is Dino holding a golf club there?

    PS – young Shirley Maclain – ga-ROWLLL.

    she looks like she’s about 3 seconds from falling over into a pile of laughing. So great. Love that. :)

    How easy it is to forget what a hottie young Ms. McClaine was. Dang.

    Amazing picture.

    Totally random:

    Those sexy shoulder cutouts

    The way the dress is falling off her shoulder

    The eclectic jewelry

    Her fingers, so long and pretty and graceful

    Those wrinkles across her nose — I can’t stop looking at them

    And that twinkle in his eye — he’s utterly present in that moment

    red, your Dino obsession is the first thing that brought me out of the funk where I have literally listened to nothing except Syd Barrett and Pink Floyd since Syd died.

    I put on some greatest hits Dino compilation on cassette I have tonight – gotta get more of his stuff – but anyway, on to the story of how I came to own it. My 300 pound black neighbor dude came over one night and said he’d recently come into possession of a bunch of tapes and wanted to know if I fancied taking a look through them to see if there was anything I wanted. I scored big time that night. They were only cassettes, but he had some great stuff. Mario Lanza, Bing Crosby, Dino, etc. I don’t EVEN want to know how he came about them. Anyway, when he first told me about the tapes, I asked what he had. His answer? “I don’t know. White shit.”
