Both flawless, both icons of their time (and for much time to come).

'Reading from top to bottom...Lisa...Caroline...Freemont."-Grace Kelly from Rear Window. One of the BEST movie entrances of all time.

Wow Alice...you're hot! Is that read hair natural? I like the one pic where the old guy is sitting on the bench just staring at you. Nice write up!
If you guys were the Beverly Hillbillies...you'd be Elly Mae!

Christina Aguilara in her 'Candy-Man' video is a great representation too.

I see what you mean now...very sexy...in a classy way. Not much skin...but you can tell it's all there.

Yes, we are a classy bunch...for the most part. The psychobilly crowd is a bit wilder than the rest of us, but we still love them.
I posted the tattoo link up above, by the way.
