Now, when you usually think of Miss Newmar, you immediately associate her with Catwoman from the 1960's TV series. But indeed she was very busy slinky sedctress before then. So, let's get back to my point here... In 1958 she did this photo shoot/story in LIFE magazine after being cast for the Broadway play The Marriage-Go-Round.
Aside from Miss Newmar, the imagery we see is of the set from this Broadway production. We only get a glimpse of this backdrop, but sometimes that's all one needs for some inspiration. It's very 50's, with just enough Modern thrown in; there's those tall champagne-pink bookcases with matching sofa, all loaded with volumes and volumes, a touch of African art here and there, the sculpted glass brandy bottles and I love the built-in radio.
Now why can't my pad look like this? Because I'm not that suave, swanky and sophisticated, that's why!
Anyway, enjoy Julie and the setting, you can read the rest of the story by clicking on any of the photos -

Wow! I'm old enough to remember "the Living Doll". A Tv show where she played a life size robot. Pretty Cheesy, but hey it was Julie Newmar!Zootsuitmama
LoL, I had to google that one up Zootsuit! I guess producers dreamed up of just about everything possible to put on TV back in the Sixties.
That couch she is on is just as stunning as her!
I want that couch... lol

Hello terrific website! Does running a blog like this require
a great deal of work? I've virtually no understanding of coding but I was hoping to start my own blog soon. Anyways, if you have any ideas or techniques for new blog owners please share. I know this is off topic but I simply needed to ask. Thanks!
