It's so great that she was known for something other than clevage! And that perfectly proportioned legs aren't toothpicks. I've always been a girl larger thighs, during junior high and high school, I wanted the toothpick legs of my friends, but now I am quite happy with my more shapely legs.
ReplyDeleteI know! She was such a lovely woman. She has always been my favorite character in "How to Marry a Millionaire" ;-)
DeleteI adore Betty. Her and I are both from St Louis! I'm working on sewing that gorgeous chartreuse outfit she wore in Pin Up Girl. Love your blog!! x
ReplyDeleteOooohhh, I would LOVE to see pictures of that outfit when you're done!
DeleteI tried the work-out, ouch ;)
ReplyDeleteI couldn't do everything because of lack of space. Tomorrow I'll know if it worked ;)
I have space issues as well ;) I love it when the weather gets warm and I can move my work-outs outside!
