This here blog is a year old, more or less, which makes it practically geriatric in dog years. Go read my first post where I was wittering away to myself in cyberspace like a saddo, go on.*Back in the day, I came across sites that did this 'Half Naked Thursday' meme, in which they would post photos of bits of themselves, well, half naked. But the suave and sophisticated Quink has a much better idea, in posting photos of elegantly dressed people in order to raise the tone on the interweb. Don't know if it will be a regular feature here, but here is the most beautiful redhead of them all looking extremely elegant, Rita Hayworth in Gilda, the best film noir ever made.

*Interestingly enough it's on dating, which I decided to have a go at, it's only taken a year to come around to the idea. Don't like to rush things, me.
Elegantly Dressed Wednesday

Happy First Year Ms. Slaminsky!!! And may I congratulate you on your choice of pictures - I've almost considered getting married so I can wear the exact same replica dress as worn by Rita Heyworth, and yes, I would insist on singing "Put the blame on Maime dear" too!! Well done you....
Happy Birthday to you..r blog.
Many happy returns. You don't look a day older. Yada yada.
Where's the cake?
Happy b'day, missy!
And that dress is fabulous - so feminine
Blimey is it really a year? Thank you for such a great blog Annie. :)
Yes, happy anniversary and congratulations on the fine picture. Quite the right tone....
Oooh well done!
Happy blogday to you.
Re raising the tone on the interweb I approve. My other half may realise I don't spend my time conversing with paedophiles and porn addicts but high-tone sort of people like yourself.
Cheers Em. Rita Hayworth singing 'Put the Blame on Mame' is what celluloid was invented for. Holy crap! It's on YouTube! Will post it immediately.
Del, thanks. Yes, where is the cake? I expected Blogger to send me one in the post... Black Forest Gateau for preference.
Merci, Anxious - just check out the way she peels off her gloves in the clip. I strongly feel we should bring back long gloves for ladies.
Ah, thanks Rad. I can't believe it either - what have I been burbling on about for a year?
No no Quink, thank you.
Cheers Billy.
Thanks Realdoc - we do our best. I always wear my tweed suit and white gloves to blog you know.
I feel a wee bit more sophisticated now :)
Good to raise the tone, I followed a link from a comment to "big cock monday". The shame. I needed to drink tea with one finger raised for a month
Hicky Blogday!
Glorious photo of a gorgeous woman, made my day that has.
Happy 1st!
Same day as my birthday! Yayyy! Happy 1st Annie!
S xx
Happy blogging birthday Annie! Congratulations! and long may your blogging ways continue.
Happy birthday to you!
And I want that dress...wow!
Viking, who could be more sophisticated than you? ;-)
Helga, outrageous! Where is this link you mentioned? *cough*
Gordon, jolly good! You can't get any more gorgeous than Rita Hayworth, I think...
Thanks Greavsie! It's much better turning one than turning *whisper* thirty-five. Think I'll count in blog years from now on.
Happy Birthday Bad Sar - I am a bad friend for forgetting. But will give you a big enormous present to make up on Saturday.
Merci, Heather - you too!
Hi JJ, and thanks! Yes, they knew how to make glamorous clothes for ladies back in the 40s hey...
LATE CONTRIBUTION ALERT!!!!
In honour of your visiting me in October, I have ordered Gilda off the interweb, so we can don long gloves, fashion our hair over one eye and be drunk in tribute to the great Rita - I think we will most likely be successful at the last thing - tee hee!!! Put the blame on Mame indeed, it´s what I always do...
