The Death of Lupe Velez, RECONSIDERED!


Remarkable TOUCH OF EVIL Movie Poster from Belgium



"Touch of Evil (Universal International, 1958). Belgian (14" X 21").This dark and seedy tale of corruption and murder stars, and is written and directed by, legendary performer Orson Welles. Charleton Heston is Miguel "Mike" Vargas, who brings along his new wife Janet Leigh, as he investigates a bombing that involves policemen Welles and Joseph Calleia. A highlight of the film are the cameos by Marlene Dietrich, Joseph Cotten, Keenan Wynn, and Zsa Zsa Gabor. Light restoration has been applied to tax stamp stains in the upper right and bottom left, glue residue from a snipe and a chip in the imprint area, two tears in the left border into the artwork, a tear in the bottom and top border and a light scuff in the top right. Vibrant color and superb portraits of the stars fill this Belgian poster. Fine+ on Linen."

The Latest Iteration on a Familiar Theme: Latina Bombshell, Number 2761? Alejandra Espinoza

source | Espinoza on Twitter
Also included here, a rather remarkable El Gordo y La Flaca segment wherein is discussed Espinoza's decision to downsize aspects of her figure--you'll have to endure a 30 second commercial to screen the video, but believe me, it is worth it (if only to watch "El Gordo" jiggle and, for closet anthropologists, the chance to parse the singular, vulgar shout-outs from the studio audience). Forgive the fact that this video features an auto-play feature.  I tried, but I cannot turn it off!
