Necrophilia for Dummies

Kim DuToit is having a Rita Hayworth pin up thingy. I have two: the one on the right is her most famous. It was not the cover of Life Magazine back in the day as currently believed, but was placed inside. None of the presumably heterosexual men on the magazine thought much about it. Four days after publication the letters blew the doors off. Five million copies of that picture were sold . I'm told the GIs went positively nuts over it. Rita told a reporter close to the end, "whatever you write about me, don't make it sad." She had Alzheimer's for last 15 years of her life. I'll never forgive those Hollywood pieces of shit for having her speak at the Academy Awards when she was deeply into the disease. We all assumed she was drunk.
