Currently Playing | Mae West's 1966 album "Way Out West"

I stumbled across quite an album today. A 72-year-old Mae West doing covers of many popular songs. Her Twist and Shout is... something. The moaning is a... nice touch I guess.

#Bales2023FilmChallenge November 21: an entrepreneur for #NationalEntrepreneursDay

In my book, entrepreneur is just a fancy talk for conman. A famous one, the one who may've tried to sell you the #BrooklynBridge, was George C. Parker. #MaeWest's Peaches O'Day bamboozles it her way in #AEdwardSutherland's Every Day's a Holiday (1937). And boy, does she have a bridge to sell you!
