I was browsing through the TWITTER-verse yesterday and stumpled upon a tweet from the original Playboy Mr. Hugh Hefner.
On June 26, 2009 he tweeted:
Friends will be here tonight for a screening of the John Barrymore/Carole Lombard comedy classic “20th Century.”

However, at fifty-cents an issue, the magazine was just too expensive and only lasted three issues. For some reason [...]

70 years ago today, Carole Lombard and Clark Gable officially became known as “The Gables”.
On March 2, 1939 the two lovebirds eloped (with Otto Winkler chaperoning) to Kingman, Ariz., to be married without informing friends. The two remained married nearly three years until death did them part. Even then Clark continued to love and cherish [...]

John Wesley Harding (yes, like the Bob Dylan song) is a folk/pop singer-songwriter. He is also the recent author of two bestselling novels under his real name, Wesley Stace.
Anyways, he recently did 20 Questions with PopMatters about some of the art and the artists that he appreciates. Personally, I think he gave the best response [...]

If you ever wondered what Carole Lombard’s bed looked like, here is a crummy copy (sorry) of Carole on her bed in 1936:

William Haines, designer and former actor at the time, bordered Lombard’s sleigh-shaped Directoire bed of rich velvet with mirror screens explaining, “Motion picture people like to see how they look even when they [...]
