It's better to burn out, than fade away...

 

Would bang. After the line died down.

 

Other then having some great banana tits and hairy pussy i don't see the attraction.

 

One of a kind, for sure ....

 

Splooge worthy.

 

Beautiful!

 

^ nice nose.

 

She never did much for me... I don't get the excitement surrounding her. JAB, Just Another Blonde...

 

One of the most gorgeous women to ever live. Her sadness and vulnerability made her even more precious.

 

kind of resembles Scarlett Johansson in a couple of those pics.

 

Played a dumb blonde back in the 50's and 60's when intelligence in a woman was not an attractive trait, yet she had an iq of 168.

 

Haha what more do you need?

 

I think it's about her attitude and how she carried herself. She was sultry. Doesn't come across in photos but it does in her movies.

 

I think she's overrated compared to

 

liked her more natural look but that era wasn't for me. hated that phony hair color, bulletproof bras, short hair, terrible makeup of that era. another era that pissed me off was the big fake ugly in your face boobs/lips/butts of a few years ago...give me a break, hopefully that shits passed.
I just prefer a more understated natural classic look, like shes not trying. I broke up with a great looking girl when she got fake boobs years ago. if I wanted a rubber fuckdoll i'd get one.

 

Her eyes.........
