* Marilyn Munroe as a jet pilot? The only thing hotter would be Princess Leia as a fighter pilot. Oh Snap!

This does give Marilyn one more point in her ongoing battle with Bettie Page over who was the best Sex Symbol of the 1950s.

* Frankenstein meets the Space Monster. I saw part of this one TV once. The poster is a true work of art if it can make this trash heap look so appealing.

* Young lady! You are not going out into the freezing tundra dressed like that. For heavens sake put on a scarf or you'll freeze to death! I swear, sometimes I think you only wear the earmuffs to keep your brain from falling out!

* The girl in pink surrounded by other pink people is by Edwin Georgi, a popular magazine artist from the 50s/60s.; January 2, 2014 at 6:11 AM
DrGoat said...: Not to mention Magic Colors bubble gum cigarettes. One of my favorites back in the 60s. They also had some candy ones, kind of like flavored chalk. Loved them too.
PS Hope the new year is good for us all, and the Cave continues on into the future. (Boldly).; January 2, 2014 at 6:37 AM
Kal said...: Of course we will my Brother Goat. How can we miss out on the end if it comes at us sooner rather than later. Gotta see how this all ends.; January 2, 2014 at 12:20 PM
Kelly Sedinger said...: Whoa. Hold on. Stop. Timeout.

Did you really bury a photo of Kat Dennings in the middle of an Image Blizzard post?

Well, even the best hitters in baseball strike out once in a while.; January 2, 2014 at 3:20 PM
Kal said...: Ha ha...its such a random process but I should have given her a more prominent place...you are right.; January 2, 2014 at 3:53 PM
Kelly Sedinger said...: Kat gets her own posts. DON'T MAKE ME COME UP THERE!; January 2, 2014 at 5:38 PM
david_b said...: AGREED ON KAT..

Please show proper respect, sir.

Love the Empire Strikes Back Kenner display. GAWD, I'd love that.; January 2, 2014 at 6:53 PM
david_b said...: Erik, THANKS for that Leia link.

Beautiful rendition.; January 2, 2014 at 6:55 PM

Mike D. said...: The INCREDIBLE MELTING MAN and FRANKENSTEIN VS THE SPACE MONSTER are two highly under rated B horror films; January 3, 2014 at 5:12 PM

Calvin's Canadian Cave Of Cool Manifesto

I forever stand vigilant to protect this planet from the myriad of forces that are always against us. Be it the octopus, zombies, aliens or the robots my team of human agents, and our feline allies, circle the globe in a never ending struggle for human freedom.

I learn all I can on every subject that interests me. I especially enjoy ancient history because in the past there are valuable lessons to be found. Also, if I ever get my time machine to work properly, it would be good to know a bit about possible destinations and what to expect when I get there.

I greatly appreciate beautiful design. Be it manufactured or found naturally I am fascinated by the process of invention. I am attracted to the unique, the strange, the haunted. I like to share what I find on this blog.

And not let us forget the 'Cephalopod Menace' who, if allowed to, would wrap their tentacles around all that is good and pure in this life and crush it until it remained no more. They are creatures of pure spite. Hate is all they know. Death is all they do. They are our most ruthless and determined enemy.

So we fight. Selena has the celebrity contacts, the cat is ruthless and without pity, Roosevelt's ghost has the experience and I do the wetwork.

Fighting for the future of the planet doesn't have to be a chore, however. We can take the time to appreciate all that is cool in this world even as we cut the octopus into bite sized chunks.

This is the reason there has always been and must forever be, a Cave of Cool. Be sure to wipe your feet before you enter.
