More on Sleeveless and Shirtless

Our Sleeveless post yesterday has an update. Deb responded to yesterday's story with her own experience in the media.   Many women in media work have spent a lot of time in the gym to achieve their "Michelle Obama' sculpted arms.  They insist to the producers to show off their physique with sleeveless apparel.  And male actors in movies and TV also ask if a scene can be played shirtless to show off their muscles, even though it isn't related to the story line.  Her verdict:  Guilty, both genders.

There must be many of these as mtv.co.uk has an article with 50 of the best shirtless movie performances of all time!  You can find it HERE.  The article's introduction:  
"From Chris Evans in Captain America to Hugh Jackman in all of the X-Men films, from teen dreams like Taylor Lautner in the Twilight Saga to older action stars who are totally our guilty pleasures, no performance captures our attention more on the big screen than a shirtless one".
In the search for famous sleeveless scenes, I retrieved a Breakfast Television interview in which former PM Kim Campbell says sleeveless dresses are 'demeaning'.  Find it HERE. That was in February of this year.

And of course, I retrieved some famous sleeveless dresses - Audrey Hepburn in 
Breakfast at Tiffany's, there is Marilyn Monroe's flying halter dress and her Happy Birthday Dress for John F. Kennedy. That dress had numerous distinctions - transparency being the most notable.

I found out at Palantine that the cut roses they sell are not long single stem tea roses, but clusters.  The picture I took doesn't do justice, so I found a few on their website.  You can't buy the rose bushes, just the cut flowers.
