In praise of support, we salute those who wear sexy underwear.
In one of the biographies of Mae West, the following comment appears:
"Mae West was of German stock and Matilda her mother had been a corset model [before her marriage]. If Mae was released from the confines of the strongest that the Spirella Corset Company could offer, she had a distressing tendency to plumpness. . ."

Mae West: Raquel Welch Mayhem?
RAQUEL WELCH OPENS UP ON MAE WEST FEUD
Actress Raquel Welch has finally spoken out about her notorious feud with MAE WEST - accusing the late screen legend of being scared to work with her.
The two appeared alongside each other in 1970 movie MYRA BRECKINRIDGE, and their feud became legendary in Hollywood.
Welch discusses the rift on the movie's DVD.
She says, "Mae didn't really work until after 5 pm. Those were her hours, and it was even stipulated in her contract.
"I only had one scene with her, and she was quite apprehensive about working with me. She hadn't done a movie in a long time, and in all her previous films, she had been the only star and the only woman, and she was not very inclined to share the screen. So there were a few shenanigans."
Their battle came to a head just before their scene together was shot, says Welch, who recalls, "She had my costume removed from the dressing room. When I went to my closet, it wasn't there. I called my producer and told him my dress had disappeared, and he told me it had been confiscated."
West's costume was white, and she objected to Welch wearing a black gown "because black is also a non-color."
Welch adds, "This poor woman was really scared - and I've got to say some of this now because I'm doing a book."

Mae West: March 16, 1940 Film Review
Spy Magazine: what Walter Monheit would call "indisputably a classic"!
W. C. Fields and Mae West Are Seen in 'My Little Chickadee' at the Roxy . . .
Noel Coward once had a line about two empty paper bags belaboring each other, but we never thought we should one day be scoundrel enough to remember it in connection with a picture harboring W. C. Fields and Mae West.
"My Little Chickadee," at the Roxy, in which the two comic soloists are trying to sing a duet, is an effort greatly strained. With the best will in the world, it just isn't funny --not even when the great William Claude ogles Miss West and roguishly invites her to come up and see him some time; not even when La West, commenting on her escape from the "Masked Bandit," explains "It was a tight spot, but I managed to wiggle out of it."
And those are the film's high-water marks.
The low water mark is more clearly defined, for the film is at low tide most of the time in the quality of its humor, in the broad treatment its players and directors have given it, in the caliber of the audience it seems intended to please and in the generally bad odor it exudes.
Miss West's humor, like Miss West herself, appears to be growing broader with the years and begins to turn upon the lady: it's one thing to burlesque sex and quite another to be burlesqued by it.
Mr. Fields, largely the innocent victim of some one else's bad taste, inevitably is tempted to juggle a few mud pies himself. It puts a heavy strain on an old admiration to endure the old boy's keyhole-peeping and door-champing at Flower Belle's boudoir, to see him become just another member of the adulant entourage Miss West thoughtfully creates for all her pictures.
The story this time is of Flower Belle Lee (guess who) and of Cuthbert J. Twillie, who are united in the bonds of matrimony-in-name-only because Flower Belle needs a consort for legal reasons and because Cuthbert has. . . well, never mind what . . . .

One-Minute Mae West [for Hire]
Maddox Will Be Your Mae West - for a Fee
Sometimes she is Cinderella. Sometimes she's Glinda, the Good Witch. Sometimes she's Jean Harlow or Mae West or Marilyn Monroe.
"It's fun to try on a different character," said Jane Maddox, who portrays all of these women.
Recently she started North West Character Entertainment, a company that offers a variety of historical and mythical celebrities for parties and special events. Jane Maddox plays Mae West and many of the characters, but she also has a crew of other actors who offer the likes of W.C. Fields and other larger-than-life figures.

Mae West: Learning to be a High Earner in 1935
By March 1935 she was the highest-paid woman in America.
In Mae West's own words -- on being a trend setter:
"More people saw me than saw Napoleon, Lincoln and Cleopatra. I was better known than Einstein and Picasso. ... I changed the fashion of two continents. The style of the Gay Nineties became the rage ... women were trying to walk and talk like me. Women became more sex-conscious - - sex was out in the open and fun.

Mae West & Muscle Men
How Mae West Was Won:
50 years ago, Mae West discovered muscle-men
The Mae West Revue would have turned 50 in 2004.
Masterful at innuendo and double-entendre, buxom Mae West was a phenomenally successful comedic actress in the 1930s. Her star had faded when, at age 61, she launched a ground-breaking stage show. Instead of the typical costumed showgirls, West selected a bevy of beefcakes to accompany bawdy songs such as "I Want to Do All Day What I Do All Night." George Eiferman, Irvin "Zabo" Koszewski, Dick DuBois, Dominic Juliano, Joe Gold, Armand Tanny, Gordon Mitchell, Mickey Hargitay, and Charles Krauser were among the star bodybuilders in West's chorus for all or part of the show's three-year run.
The Mae West Revue opened at the Sahara Hotel in Las Vegas in 1954. West vamped through skits, playing off the musclemen. The combination of her ribald humor and the sensation of flexing bodybuilders made the show a runaway smash. It toured the country's top venues, drawing celebrities, including then-Senator John F. Kennedy, and breaking attendance records at New York's legendary Latin Quarter.
The revue's demise was hastened at a press conference in 1956 when Krauser, who loved West, punched out Hargitay, whom West loved. (Krauser changed his name to Paul Novak to escape his newfound notoriety, and he was West's live-in lover for the final 24 years of her life.) The show closed at the Sahara in 1957. Half a century after its opening, the Mae West Revue is still considered a seminal showcase where popular and physical culture merged and bodybuilders posed on some of the most exalted stages for some very prestigious audiences.

Mae West Play Includes Safe Sex - FREE
"Courting Mae West" Offers Safe Sex
— Actor P.J. Sosko Describes How to Extend Pleasure with a FREE Safe Sex Kit - —
(New York, NY) Hot on the heels of a news headline that "Unsafe Sex Burdens Health in U.S.," the cast of "Courting Mae West" made an announcement in Manhattan. On Wednesday February 9, 2005, individuals who attend the commemorative performance will receive a free Safe Sex Kit - - "Light Love" - -courtesy of Pjur Group USA.
Proshanky Auditorium at C.U.N.Y. Graduate Center [located at 365 Fifth Avenue, NYC 10016] has 396 seats and "hundreds of attendees will receive this gift," promised P.J. Sosko, who has the role of Mario "Shortie" De Angelis, the reporter who is "courting" the blonde bombshell of Broadway: Mae West.
The play by downtown dramatist LindaAnn Loschiavo is set in New YorkCity during 1926 - 1929, when the actress was arrested and jailed twice for obscenity.
Allison Tilsen, the buxom blonde who plays Mae West, described the freebies as the perfect present for this premiere. On Wednesday February 9, 1927, Mae West was arrested at Daly’s 63rd Street Theatre and her play "Sex" was shut down by the Police Department, said Tilsen. "Sex" wasn’t safe. The play was suggestive and raunchy and ahead of its time. "It’s an ideal opportunity to remind our audience that sex should be fun — as well as safe," added Tilsen, a heart-stopping beauty who walked down the aisle in September with a man she calls "lucky Jim."
P.J. Sosko, an actor who’s been seen onstage in New York City and Los Angeles, and who guest-starred recently in an episode of "Law & Order: Criminal Intent," endorses healthy behavior.
"A bachelor must do three things alone," he said. "Be born, die, and satisfy — which means protecting your partner from unsavoury side-effects."
Sosko was referring to a report released by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention that said: "The public health burden related to unsafe sexual activity is three times higher in the U.S. than in other developed nations."
In the journal Sexually Transmitted Infections, the researchers revealed disturbing findings:
* * The majority of this public health burden falls on women - - 62 percent of behavior-related adverse health events.
* * Cervical cancer was the leading cause of sex-related mortality among women, followed by HIV.
* * Men suffered the majority of deaths (66 percent), primarily from HIV.
Come Up and See Mae on February 9th and, after the performance, you can extend your pleasure with a free Safe Sex Kit.

Mae West: did you know. . .?
Where Mae Used to Live and Perform
.
Mae West rang in her banner New York year, 1928, with a one-night stand, hosting a nightclub, a la Texas Guinan, at Club Deauville - - then located at Park Avenue and East 59th Street [the night of December 31, 1927 - January 1, 1928].
.
Mae West had bought a townhouse for herself in the late 1920s - - at 266 West End Avenue - - just a few years before she moved to Hollywood. She lived there with her sister Beverly, whose Russian husband had divorced her over a scandal related to Mae's gay play "The Drag."
.
Incidentally, the Upper West Side [stretching roughly from West 61st to West 76th Street] is the single-most-star-studded area in Manhattan, according to the "Star Sleuth" Larry "Wolfe" Horwitz. Within this neighborhood is an area that Larry Horwitz has labeled a Star Walk: a ten-block strip along Central Park West that contains "the greatest concentration of movie stars and other celebrities anywhere in the world," according to him.

Mae West: A Cougar?
On the Prowl: "Cougars" (Older Women) Hunt for "Cubs" (Younger Men)
Article By Josie Brown and Martin Brown
The stereotype of the old maid is so last millennium: according to a recent survey by the American Association of Retired Persons, almost one-third of unmarried women over the age of 40 are dating much younger men.
Actress Demi Moore, 41, is the most recent high-profile example of a "cougar" -- the new term for the older woman who is open to liaisons with younger men, or "cubs," such as Demi's 25-year old boyfriend, Ashton Kutcher.
She is certainly not the first woman of a certain age who prefers robbing the cradle to rocking it: Mae West, Judy Garland and Liz Taylor all blazed that path. Today's other well-known cougars and cubs include Susan Sarandon (56) and Tim Robbins (44); Mary Tyler Moore (67) and Robert Levine (49); Joan Lunden (52) and Jeff Konigsberg (42); Julianne Moore (42) and Bart Freundlich (33); Daryl Hannah (42) and David Blaine (30); and Madonna (44) and Guy Ritchie (34) -- proof positive that love is priceless at any age.
Grounds for mutual attraction are many: the younger man can't help but be drawn to a woman who is more knowledgeable than needy. Like him, she is at a stage of life where personal pleasure now takes precedent over marriage and making babies.
As for cougars, they are looking for a partner whose drive for unencumbered fun and satisfying sex meets their own.
Can such a match have staying power? Certainly under the following
circumstances:
1. The emotional criteria of both partners stay in sync. If the need of one partner changes, and it is obvious that the other partner cannot or will not meet that need, it may mean a break in the romance. For example, most cubs "mature" to desire a relationship that can provide them children -- something their current paramour can no longer do, or for that matter may not want to do at her stage of life.
2. Both enjoy similar sexual appetites. Even in unions where the ages are equal or the woman is younger, a dearth of passion is a relationship killer. However, those couples whose levels of lust are on a par will benefit from that whenever other issues arise.
3. Both recognize the need to take the relationship a day at a time. While it would be wonderful if we could freeze ourselves in the present, the fact is that we cannot; life moves on, and may move the two halves of a couple in two different directions. An open mind and open heart to accepting change will certainly keep the relationship alive. Granted, you may not always be lovers, but you may stay friends for life.
