Diana Dors - A very British Blonde Bombshell.

Some random facts, that you may or may not know
 on -
Diana Dors - A very British Blonde Bombshell 
and so much more.


Diana Dors (23rd October 1931 - 4th May 1984)


"I’m the kind of girl that things naturally happen to.  When they don’t, I give them a push"


" I was the first home-grown sex symbol, rather like Britain's naughty seaside postcards."



Dors was the maiden name of her grandmother.


When Marilyn Monroe's first film was shown here, a columnist actually wrote, 
"How much like our Diana Dors she is."



her first film was 'Dancing with Crime' (1947) 
and her last was 'Steaming' (1984)


As an actress she covered every thing from Panto to Shakespeare.


She never owned a mansion without a swimming pool. 




It was her ambition as a child playing in a mud pond in her front yard to have her own swimming pool


Not every one can get away with a Mink Bikini.



She was a close friend of Ruth Ellis, the last woman to be hanged in Britain.


She loved luxury and didn't care who knew it.



The 1949 Delahaye Roadster, was given to Diana Dors when she was 17.


Which sold for $3 million (£1.9m) at a California auction in 2010


Her first single was released on HMV Records in 1951
The tracks were "I Feel So Mmmm" and "A Kiss and a Cuddle 



She continued to record on various labels:
and in 1982 she recorded  her last single "Where Did They Go?"/"It's You Again"




You can hear her sing on YouTube


Youth never lasts


But a larger than life personality does.


 As well as the glamour she was no stranger to camp -


and comedy




She also found time ( in between outrageous parties ) to do a lot of  work for charity including gay rights

and here an icon for Morresy.


and for me.


any one denounced by the Archbishop of Canterbury, as a "wayward hussy." deserves to be cherished.


She must have been one hell of a woman.
Here is the lady herself with Russell Harty



There will and never could be another. 



Gone but never to be forgotten

Random - Toreadors !

Well me dears our annual  trip to Spain to celebrate my birthday is just two months away. On that thought here is a random hotchpotch of Andalusian delights


I would however like to make it clear that no matter how much I like looking at bull fighters 
I do not approve of bull fighting itself.


So then to get us in the mood, here is the Divine Isabel Pantoja and 'Se Me Enamora el Alma ' with some dancing boys thrown in for good measure.


With la Pantoja ringing in your ears the following random selection from tumblr should be jolly.













and finally just in case you thought it all a bit too macho. 




There tiz then my lovelies.
The flight and apartment are both booked
and I cant wait to get a bit of Spanish culture.
