MAE WEST, My Own Personal Jesus

When I was in film school, I wrote a term paper for my film history course on "Mae West: the Original Hollywood Femme Feminist." She was the first woman to write and star in her own movies. (Her mom was Jewish, so she is technically a Heeb) and she was one of the smartest most sexiest woman to ever walk this planet! I may not be a blonde bombshell, in fact, I've gone blonde before and it doesn't suit my coloring, but I'm a strong woman, not a competitive catty one, I say, go on with your bad self, you beautiful bitch goddess. I love her attitudes towards just about everything so below please find some prime examples of why today's blog is an ode to Mae West…
