Mae West: Paws to Consider

There have been horses, cats, and dogs named MAE WEST and usually the blog lets such items pass along on their merry way. However, no smile could be withheld from this tidbit that gives us "paws" to consider. 
• • Apparently, #Pawties and Events are where anipals and humans get together for a Twitterin’ good time.  The #NipClub celebrated a four-legged salute to Cupid on Tuesday, 18 February 2014. We were told this: "Fashions varied dramatically, from the sweetly romantic ballgown of @MaggieMooseTrks to the spectacular black dress and hat with faux ostrich feathers favored by @Doggymolly for her cabaret pawformance as Mae West."
• • Lo and behold, Doggy Molly was all set for a sexy black-tie paw-ty ineed.

• • Despite the phenomenal success that Mae West has been enjoying during the past two years, she will not attain the apex of her screen career for at least three years more, that is to say, she will not reach her highest point until 1938, and she'll be married then, said an astrologer.
• • In Her Own Words • •
• • Mae West said:  "I'm going to change my tempo and work very, very fast. This picture needs a big lift to pick up the speed and wake an audience up."
• • Quote, Unquote • •
• • A Cold Spring, NY paper mentioned Mae West.

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.
