Manual stimulation of both the lower and upper lip by utilizing a ball-point pen, seems to aid the cognitive abilities of a pub quiz contestant in Santa Monica, California.
It hearkened back to the moment in Reservoir Dogs, where Harvey Keitel snatches Lawrence Tierney's address book at the diner.
The classy, the magnificent Nancy Wilson (1937–2018) has left us at age 81. "Vocalist" does not do Ms. Wilson justice. "Song stylist" is how she herself described her success.
"I wish you shelter from the storm,
A cozy fire to keep you warm.
But most of all when snowflakes fall,
I wish you love."
***************
Ms. Wilson's career spanned more than five decades, from the mid–1950s until only a few years ago, memorialized on more than seventy albums, three of which awarded Grammys. Her most successful hit was "(You Don't Know) How Glad I Am."
Nancy Wilson sang it all: blues, jazz, R&B, pop, and soul. And she was ever the epitome of elegance. Today, "Guess Who I Saw Today" — her debut single, released in April 1960— never sounded so wistfully poignant.

Probably not the most exiting video here, but still, I´m pretty exited about it.. my new (vintage) and rebuilt Singer 45k sews three layers of 4mm veg. tanned leather, without any problem. I´m sure a fourth layer would be fine too..

The Singer company says that they "meticulously restore and optimize" air-cooled Porsche 911s- the donor car should be from 1990 to 1994. It's an expensive job, but the idea is to make a car that's basically better than new, to the customer's specifications, with options like new carbon-fiber bodywork, strengthened brakes, and updated lighting and electrics.

French singer, tap-dancer, and actress Irène de Trébert (1921-1996) was one of the idols of the 'Zazou'-generation.
Irène de Trébert was born aboard the cruise-liner Pierre-le-Grand in 1921. Already at the age of 5, she was dancing at the Opera, and age 7, she already danced for the French president Doumergue, as well as at the Gaumont-Palace. Soon she started a singing career, with children's songs as J'ai du bon tabac. Attracted by jazz and swing, she went to the US in 1935 and became a star dancer in the Fisher ballet. Returned to France, she debuted as a film actress in 1938 in the film Trois artilleurs à l'opéra, directed by André Chotin. The same year, she won first place with a music hall contest at Radio-Cité with the song Quand un petit oiseau. She also started in cabaret, first with René Goupil, then Maurice Chevalier. Autumn 1940 she recorded the song Si vous aviez un ascenseur (Columbia) and in 1941 she became a singer in Raymond Legrand's orchestra. Her career rocked and she recorded her hit song 'Mademoiselle Swing', the title song of the film Mademoiselle Swing (1941), directed by Richard Pottier, in which Trebert and Legrand & his orchestra had the leads. De Trébert and Legrand married the year after. In 1942, DeTrebert launched the song 'Je t'aime', an adaptation of 'Swing 39' by Django Reinhardt and Stephane Grappelli; in 1943 'La guitare à Chiquita' followed .
Irène de Trébert and Legrand were extremely popular with the so-called generation of the 'zazou', the jazz and swing-loving younger, non-conformist generation during the occupation. The zazou's mocked society by wearing oversized clothes and long hair as a reaction to the government's rationing of textile. Women wore short skirts, striped stockings, and shoes with large soles, men large lumber jackets following the American zoot suit fashion from a few years earlier. They wildly danced to swing and bebop. Around 1942-43 right-wing protests against the zazou's rose to a point that round-ups occurred, zazou's were beaten up by young fascists, arrested, and sent to the countryside. After that, the movement went underground. Irène de Trebert and Legrand often performed for Radio-Paris, which on one side mocked swing, as the official and German way was to consider it degenerate, and on the other side wanted to satisfy the younger generation. Legrand satisfied the official parties by performing 'politically correct' traditional children songs for Radio-Paris. When France was liberated in November 1944, De Trébert was sentenced to 10 months of suspension. What had not helped the couple's reputation, was that both had joined a tour in Germany in 1942, together with Chevalier, Trenet, and Tino Rossi.
In 1945 Irène de Trébert divorced Legrand and took to operetta, together with André Claveau. She also turned to film again. After small contributions - she sang the songs of leading actress Lilia Vetti in Le gardian (1945) by Jean de Marguenat; then played herself in the short Boite de nuit (1946) by Jean Devaivre - she played in several films in 1950-1951: with Roger Nicolas in Le roi du bla bla bla (1950) by Maurice Labro; with Milly Mathis in Ce coquin d'Anatole (1951) by Emile Couzinet; with Pierre Cressoy in Duel à Dakar (1951) by Claude Orval and Georges Combret; with Pierre Larquey in Monsieur Octave (1951) by Maurice Téboul; with Ginette Garcin in Musique en tête (1951) by Orval and Combret; with Jean Richard in the short La garçonnière (1951) by Orval. After that she abandoned her career and opened a dancing school. A last performance, Irène de Trébert gave in Louis Malle's famous film Lacombe Lucien (1973). She died in 1996 in Saint-Jean-de-Luz (Pyrénées Atlantiques) but was buried in the cemetry of Vaucresson (Haute-Seine).

du cinema and in particular nicteam legendel where you can also hear some of her songs, such as 'Mademoiselle Swing', the very Reinhardt-like 'Je t'aime' and her swing version of 'My Man': 'Mon Homme'. The zazou are remembered by the Pet Shop Boys' song 'In the Night' and the Belgian rock group TC Matic song 'Les Zazous'.
