MAKING UP IS HARD TO DO

Guess nobody told her using cosmetics sparingly gives the best results.

Russ Meyer is back with another shot for the Goodtime Weekly Calendar of 1963, and there are immediately two points of interest here. First, Meyer found a model he liked that didn’t have double-d boobs, which is very equal opportunity of him, considering his track record. Second, the model went nuts around the eyes with her makeup. Words of advice—you know you’ve drawn a little too much arch in your eyebrows if random people keep looking at you and saying, “I’m sorry, did you just ask me something?”

Oct 6: The blue sky and golden leaves are really beautiful—even the wind whistles at them.

Oct 7: “Domestic harmony is music produced only if the husband plays second fiddle.”—Freddie Flintstone

Oct 8: “I have my wife well trained; she never opens my letters—unless they’re marked ‘personal’.”—Jack Herbert
