Words From The Webmaster:
Quite a lot of updates for this month, and two new Departments! Check out Polar Blair's Den Remembers and Quotes.
I didn't get as much done with the Music Department as I wanted to, but I did work up a feature for David Bowie. Although I'm not a great David Bowie fan, I do like some of his really early stuff, and a few songs from his popular period. Believe it or not, he has some standout songs. Although I do like to keep most of my upcoming changes a surprise, I will tell you that I have a Cream feature coming in Music. You know Cream. Eric Clapton was the guitarist, and they had huge hits like "Sunshine of Your Love" and "White Room".
I added quite a bit to the Cartoons Department. This month saw a lot of entries for superhero cartoons. When this Department becomes fully established, it will feature a lot more of the classic, funny characters like those from Disney, Hanna-Barbera, Looney Tunes, Terrytoons, Walter Lantz, and so forth.
The Movies Department also received a ton of updates, as well as Actors/Actresses/Performers. One thing I wanted to do all around with every Department I worked with this month was add new pictures, so you'll find LOTS of them. If you're one of those that likes the website mainly for the pictures, you won't be disappointed!
It's been quite a month! Besides the website, I've been doing a lot of work with the business end of Polar Blair's Den, and I've been helping my mother with her company, Emmy Lou Candles. I'm also helping other people make their way in the business and/or entertainment worlds. It's all fun, and I try to answer e-mails as fast as I can keep up!
Have a great month! Watch out for trick-or-treaters this Halloween. They're small, quick, and don't know where they're going most of the time so it's important to look for them when you're driving.
Stan
Brock- NEW FEATURE! He is one of the most awesome,
real-life personalities you'll ever see! Stan's known to most
people as a host on TVs "Mutual of Omaha's Wild Kingdom" nature show,
but you might me surprised just how much else he has going for him.
Elizabeth Campbell- Many new photos of the sexy American actress who was predominately in Mexican films.
Phyllis Coates- New photos.
Yvonne Craig- New photo.
Gail Davis- New photos of Gail as TV's Annie Oakley!
Rita Hayworth- Lots of new photos! Rita's one of those personalities I've always liked a lot, but for some reason I've never gotten around to building up her feature in Polar Blair's Den. Go figure! You can expect a lot of additions in the months ahead.
Martha Hyer- New photo.
Arthur Lake- New photo.
Jayne Mansfield- Many new photos of Jayne Mansfield, her fabulous home The Pink Palace, various items of memorabilia, even her grave! In the months ahead, I'll be adding lots of little information and other neat things to her feature.
Maura Monti- NEW FEATURE! The sexy, Italian-born actress who appeared in many Mexican films. One of her most popular efforts is the superheroine flick, "The Batwoman" (1968). This feature is pretty sparse now, but will expand. One thing you'll see is a picture of Maura Monti on a rare magazine cover!
Quinn O'Hara-

Packed with photos of the authors' real-life pets! It's a charming, light-hearted adventure tale based on the personalities of Quinn's (and my own) beloved little four-legged friends!
