Article and pinup gallery of "The Girls of Hollywood" - complete with vital statistics - from the August 3, 1942 issue of Life Magazine.
(May have been a different time, but I know what I like.)
Over a thousand Chicagoans, from all walks of life and all parts of the city, came together at Millennium Park to perform "Crowd Out" by Davind Lang.
Although a bit chaotic in the beginning, once the leaders of each of the small groups that formed the whole got things in sync, it became a beautiful performance and a moving experience.
I came upon this event purely by accident and it took me a while to figure out what was going on.
Once surrounded by all these people, I was pretty much stuck, so you see some of the same faces over and over again.
Image created by me for my #ArtistsInStillLife project. My still life portrait of the artist Roxanne Patruznick. Appears in my 2026 calendar.

This issue of Life Magazine from June 2, 1972 features beautiful Raquel Welch is on the cover, with her derby jersey, her skates, and not much else!
The cover says "Raquel, On Skates as a Derby Demon." The article profiles her role as a roller derby "demon" in the film "The Kansas City Bomber." There are several photos of Raquel and her teammates in the movie.
In addition to the article about Raquel, there are several noteworthy vintage ads in this magazine, including ads for The World Book Encyclopedia; retro cars from Detroit including the Hornet, Gremlin and Matador; and cool vintage Polaroid Land Cameras.
The pioneering astronauts who were chosen by NASA to head into space as part of the Mercury programme are all smiles for the LIFE Magazine photographer. They had been selected after an arduous series of physical and psychological tests and were deemed to be medically fit (although Deke Slayton, centre right, was later scrubbed from his mission). The also were no more than 5ft 11 inches tall, a height restriction imposed by the small size of the Mercury capsule.
The trail blazed by the Mercury pioneers was later documented by Tom Wolfe, in ‘The Right Stuff’ (1979).
Full page from the March 18, 1940 issue of Life Magazine with ads for Listerine and Webster Fancy Tales Cigars - and some letters to the editor concerned about some porpoise stuff.
- "We're saving to get married - so we use this money-saving tooth paste!"
- "The big tube that lasts 3 months!"
- "contains Luster-Foam"
- "Webster - the after-dinner favorite" (I bet she is)
What some people will do for love...

If you got to pick someone to be friends with, someone to lunch with, and someone to have a romantic interlude with, who would you pick?
My choice about 15 years ago to this question was Katharine Hepburn for a friend, Jimmy Stewart for a lunch companion, and Kevin Costner for the romance.
Who would you choose?
