• • All eyes will be on you when you're walking a Maltese clad in a hoodie with "I used to be Snow White but I drifted."
• • Nothing will improve your Yorkshire terrier's glamour queen quotient than a T-shirt printed with "You only live once. But if you do it right, once is enough!"

• • On Sunday, 25 July 1926, Mae met Valentino at Tommy Guinan's speakeasy. Larger than the average ginmill, The Playground was on West 52nd Street (east of Broadway). James R. Quirk, editor-publisher of Photoplay, hosted a Reception in honor of Valentino's new silent movie "Son of the Sheik" there. Mae West and Texas Guinan were there to greet the Apulian heartthrob.

• • The famous photo of Mae West with her hand on bodybuilder John Farbotnik's flexed upper arm was taken on Thursday, 25 July 1946 after the muscleman won the Mr. Chicago title.
• • Save the Date: Wednesday, August 13th • •
• • Details: August 13th event
• • Overheard in Hollywood • •
• • Even the mention of a new Mae West script gets the newly created film censors bureau hot under the collar.
• • In Her Own Words • •
• • Mae West said: "I never try to be anything but myself at all times, publicly and privately, except on the stage and screen, for that's where acting belongs."
• • Quote, Unquote • •
• • An article in a Singapore newspaper discussed Mae West
• • Mae West's next film will be "The Queen of Sheba" • •
• • "Close-Up" offered this tidbit to film fans on 25 July 1934: I understand that Mae West's next film will be "The Queen of Sheba." That is not a joke. My information is that "the production will not be burlesque, and the star will give a 'straight' characterisation." Clearly Miss West is ambitious; but her ambition may lead her into trouble. . . .
• • "Close-Up" added: As the Queen of Sheba she would have to create a very different characterisation. It remains lo be seen whether she can do that. Cecil B. de Mille at once suggests himself as director. He directed Betty Blythe in the original Queen of Sheba film.

• • The Mae West Blog celebrates its 10th anniversary • •
• • Thank you for reading, sending questions, and posting comments during this past decade.
• • By the Numbers • •
• • The Mae West Blog was started ten years ago in July 2004. You are reading the 2965th blog post. Unlike many blogs, which draw upon reprinted content from a newspaper or a magazine and/ or summaries, links, or photos, the mainstay of this blog is its fresh material focused on the life and career of Mae West, herself an American original.
