Mae West: Yuletide

As if it weren't hot enough in the sunshine-drenched Lone State State, MAE WEST steamed up the residents with editorial coverage in a Texas tabloid on 24 December 1934.
• • Sultry blonde actress Mae West is keeping in character on her Christmas cards, a Texan reporter wrote, while examining the promotional holiday card that Paramount Pictures had designed for their screen queen. She has a drawing of herself sitting on Santa´s lap with this jingle: “If Santa fails to reach your house, just bear it with a grin. I wrote and said, Come up some time, and the dear old guy moved in.”
