The Fact I’ll Never Be Able To Read All The Books I Want To Read Is Crushing Me

“The big job in one’s life, it seems to me, is finding out what is important to you and what isn’t important. It’s a major tragedy to race after things you neither want or need.”

Buster Keaton ❥

Congrats to the ultimate winner of the Hot & Vintage Movie Women Tournament, Ms. Eartha Kitt! She has conquered all 540 women before her and has been crowned the hottest of them all. May she glory in her well-earned victory in the glow of the sun forevermore.

All previous contestants are now banished below to the shadow realm, to celebrate with their upside-down dances in the depths of the earth.

I want to thank everyone for their support of the blog these last couple months and all the amazing propaganda—I've learned so much about all the hot women and had so much fun reveling in, lusting after, making fun of, fangirling about and falling in love with these hotties with you. I'll write a longer post later, but before we close out the women's tournament—this is all because of you!

Thank you and goodnight. Purrrrrr.

Pre-Code Hollywood refers to the era in the American film industry between the introduction of sound in the late 1920s and the enforcement of the Motion Picture Production Code (usually labeled, albeit inaccurately after 1934, as the “Hays Code”) censorship guidelines. Although the Code was adopted in 1930, oversight was poor and it did not become rigorously enforced until July 1, 1934. Before that date, movie content was restricted more by local laws, negotiations between the Studio Relations Committee (SRC) and the major studios, and popular opinion than strict adherence to the Hays Code, which was often ignored by Hollywood filmmakers. As a result, films in the late 1920s and early 1930s included sexual innuendo, miscegenation, profanity, illegal drug use, promiscuity, prostitution, infidelity, abortion, intense violence and homosexuality.
