Ya know Portia, that is SO self-evident, but who finds time to write all those Penthouse letters, anyways?
I wish I had realized this self-evident fact 30 years ago,.....or...on second thought...maybe not.

That's Jane Russell, folks.

Measurements: 38D-25-36

Trivia:
Her breasts are the namesake for 'The Jane Russell Peaks' in Alaska.

Bob Hope once introduced her as "the two and only Jane Russell".

The troops in Korea named two embattled hills in her honor.

Howard Hughs designed her bra.

She is a die-hard Conservative.

Why do I get the feeling he did not have to look any of this up? Especially that first stat?

I can't say I ever understood the point of a diary, but then I'm sure there are plenty of people who don't get blogging either. I certainly never thought I'd be doing it. And at least once a month I seriously contemplate quitting and wiping out VC, and probably someday I will. Life is strange.

Dear Diary:
Nothing happened today...again. Oh, wait, yes it did.
See you tomorrow.

Well, I won't hold it against her if you won't:)

Oh, that's right spd, I had forgotten about the scene in the "The Aviator" when Hughes ask his engineers to design a seamless underwire bra to enhance Ms. Russell's "assets." The first push-up bra!

It was all very scandalous, and Hughes battled with movie censors for a couple of years trying to get "The Outlaw"--starring Jane Russell's breasts--approved.

["The Aviator"]
Glenn Odekirk: Howard, you really think they're gonna let you put out a whole movie just about tits?
Howard Hughes: Sure. Who doesn't like tits?

Well, I guess that brings us back to Don's initial point:)
