Not Already?

Yesterday saw our first of 90+ degree daytime highs.  Ugh.

But for the benefit of the Global Cooling Climate Warming Change© crowd, when I looked this phenomenon up, I noted that May 12 was the latest day in the past 43 years that the 90+ temperature arrived.  Not that it matters too much.  If the forecast for this week is to be believed, daytime highs will seldom reach the mid-80s, and drop into the high 70s by the coming weekend.  Sunday, in other words, was something of an anomaly.

Welcome to a typical Texas spring, in other words.

Still, there is one benefit to our searing summer highs:

Oh yeah, baby… Daisy Dukes and skimpy lil’ tops, gawd love ’em.

Seems as though every time I post a pic of a slender women, there are a  jillion  couple of comments about feeding the poor starving girl a pasta dinner or two.

Well, today’s totty doesn’t need any of that.  Her name is Rasha Kirmani, and she’s apparently quite popular in India and online.  Enjoy.

Last weekend I watched Hitchcock’s brilliant movie To Catch A Thief, and it’s always a pleasure to gaze upon the mid-1950s Grace Kelly and her Sunbeam Alpine sports car:

…not to mention the glorious scenery of the Midi:

However, in all this ogling, a random brain cell fastened on the other cutie in the movie, the teenager Danielle, who has a crush on the (much-older) Cary Grant.

In real life, her name was Brigitte Auber, and in the movie, she’s given the tomboy treatment — no doubt to reinforce the illusion of her age (she was actually nearly 30 when the movie was made), as much as to make her less alluring than the leading lady.

Of course, outside that look, she was a lot more interesting:

But Brigitte’s real claim to fame is that she helped turn her then-boyfriend, one Alain Delon, into a movie star.

By the way, Brigitte Auber will be turning 100 in a month’s time.
