American actress and singer Dorothy Lamour (1914-1996) is best remembered for appearing in the Road to... comedies, starring Bing Crosby and Bob Hope. During World War II, Lamour was among the most popular pin-up girls among American servicemen.
American actress and singer Dorothy Lamour (1914-1996) is best remembered for appearing in the Road to... comedies, starring Bing Crosby and Bob Hope. During World War II, Lamour was among the most popular pin-up girls among American servicemen.
Dorothy Lamour was born Mary Leta Dorothy Slaton in 1914 in New Orleans. She was the daughter of Carmen Louise and John Watson Slaton, both of whom were waiters. Her parents' marriage lasted only a few years. Her mother married for the second time to Clarence Lambour, whose surname Dorothy later adopted and modified as her stage name. Lamour quit school at age 14. After taking a business course, she worked as a secretary to support herself and her mother. As a teenager, beautiful Dorothy turned heads with her long dark hair. She won the beauty contest, Miss New Orleans, in 1931 and she headed to Chicago to find work as a singer. For a time, she worked in Chicago as an elevator operator in a department store before going on to become a singer for the big band Herbie Kaye, who became her first husband in 1935. In addition to the band, Dorothy also sang on a Chicago radio program. In 1936, she moved to Hollywood where she signed with Paramount Pictures. Around that time, Carmen married her third husband, Ollie Castleberry, and the family lived in Los Angeles. Dorothy appeared as jungle native Ulah in The Jungle Princess (William Thiele, 1936) who was raised with a pet tiger among the tropical natives. Ray Milland co-starred as the man from civilisation who woos and wins her. The scene where Milland is trying to teach her the word kiss is a classic, and the film was a money-maker. The film also gave her a hit song 'Moonlight and Shadows'. Her wrap-around sarong, designed by Edith Head, marked the beginning of her image as the 'Sarong Queen'. Lamour played similar parts in The Hurricane (John Ford, 1937) with Jon Hall, Her Jungle Love (George Archainbaud, 1938) again with Ray Milland, Typhoon (Louis King, 1940), Beyond the Blue Horizon (Alfred Santell, 1942) and her final big-screen sarong feature, Donovan's Reef (John Ford, 1963), starring John Wayne. Although Lamour actually only wore a sarong in six of her 59 pictures, it defined her career. In 1940, Lamour made her first Road to... comedy film, Road to Singapore (Victor Schertzinger, 1940). The film was a solid hit and the response to the team was enthusiastic. Lamour, Hope, and Crosby reunited in Road to Zanzibar (Victor Schertzinger, 1941) which was even more successful and eventually led to a series of seven pictures. The Road to.. films were a combination of adventure, slapstick, as-libbing, romance, and music, and they regularly placed among the top moneymaking films during the 1940s. While the films centered more on Bob Hope and Bing Crosby, Lamour held her own as their 'straight man', and sang some of her most popular songs. She later said: "I was the happiest and highest-paid straight woman in the business."
During World War II, Dorothy Lamour was among the most popular pinup girls among American servicemen, along with Betty Grable, Rita Hayworth, Lana Turner, and Veronica Lake. During World War II, she toured the country, selling in excess of $300 million worth of war bonds. Lamour could show great range in both comic and dramatic roles. Among her serious films were Disputed Passage (Frank Borzage, 1939) with Akim Tamiroff, the gangster film Johnny Apollo (Henry Hathaway, 1940) starring Tyrone Power, and A Medal for Benny (Irving Pichel, 1945), based on a story by John Steinbeck, co-starring Arturo de Córdova. In 1947, she was in three big hits in a row: My Favorite Brunette (Elliott Nugent, 1947), a comedy with Bob Hope; Wild Harvest (Tay Garnett, 1947), a melodrama with Alan Ladd; and Road to Rio (Norman McLeod, 1947). She also sang a duet with Ladd in Variety Girl (George Marshall, 1947). Then she left Paramount. Later she was in one more big hit, Cecil B. De Mille's circus epic The Greatest Show on Earth (1952). The Road to... series essentially ended with the release of Road to Bali (Hal Walker, 1952). By that time, Lamour's screen career began to wane and she focused on stage and television work. In 1961, Crosby and Hope teamed up for one more, The Road to Hong Kong (Norman Panama, 1962), but Joan Collins played the female lead. Lamour made a brief appearance and sang a song near the end of that film. A final Road to... picture, Road to the Fountain of Youth was in the works in 1977, until Bing Crosby's sudden death. In the 1970s, Lamour revived her nightclub act and, in 1980, she released her autobiography 'My Side of the Road'. She only made ten films between 1951 and 1987. The last one was Creepshow 2 (Michael Gornick, 1987), appearing with George Kennedy as an aging couple who are killed during a robbery. In 1987, she made her final onscreen appearance in the TV series Murder she wrote with Angela Lansbury. Dorothy Lamour's first marriage was to orchestra leader Herbie Kay whose big band she sang with. The two married in 1935 and divorced in 1939. Lamour married her second husband, William Ross Howard III, in 1943. They had two sons and remained married until Howard's death in 1978. Dorothy Lamour died at her home in Los Angeles in 1996. She was 81. Her stepson William Ross 'Bill, Jr.' Howard IV was born in 1933. Her son John Ridgely 'Ridge' Howard was born in 1946. Her son Richard Thomson 'Tommy' Howard was born in 1949.

Through these doors, Northfield, Minnesota stepped into the history books.
On September 7, 1876, eight bandits rode into Northfield to rob the First National Bank. It was a sunny Thursday at 2 p.m. What would later be called a “textbook James-Younger robbery” began with three of the gang members entering the bank and announcing that this was a holdup.
The desperadoes ordered the three bank employees to open the safe but were told that the door was locked and couldn’t be opened.
Meanwhile, local citizens on the street began to arm themselves when a merchant discovered the robbery in progress and shouted, “Get your guns, boys — they’re robbing the bank!”
Upon this discovery, two of the gang members sprang to their saddles and began firing their pistols, yelling for everyone to leave the area or be shot. This forced the remaining robbers to enter the fray.
1899, the United States of America
With the heat in Valentine having died down , Bill thinks it’s finally time to hit the bank. Karen, Lenny, Bill and Arthur Morgan rides to Valentine. They arrive there and Karen asks the others how she should do the distraction: Should Karen make the lost girl or the Harlot? Arthur decides the “lost girl” version and the 4 outlaws walks to the bank, which consists of red bricks. Over the door is a big sign “Bank”. Around the bank are some people : one man connect his hourse, another man feed a dog with meat, a farmer chops wood and collect it and a fourth man go to work. Lenny, Bill and Arthur put on their masks and Karen go into the bank with her dark red dress. After her distraction the 3 other Van-der-Linde gang members assault the bank. Can they survive and escape with a lot of money or will they die?
This is my 7th MOC for our Red Dead Redemption 2 collab with Tuxedo Greedo. The bank is my biggest creation and I had to order a lot of parts that I can build it. From the beginning of our collab I wanted to build a bank rober because it was one of my favourite story missions in the videogame. I chose the first one ( yes there are more bank robberies) because Valentine is my favourite town in the game. I had a lot of fun building it and I try to catch the reference as best as possible. To reach that goal I spend a lot of time in front of the bank in the game to observe NPCs and I took many pictures of the bank. I hope you like the MOC and I would be pleased to get feedback.

To evade capture by authorities after his daring but ill advised train robbery attempt, Clyde ducked into a Mom and Pop lamp repair shop with his umbrella. Although he blended well, the fugitive could not hoodwink Spanky, the shop's nervous chihuahua watch dog.
Spanky was subsequently honored by John Walsh and featured on "Cops" and "Street Dogs." To Mom and Pop's dismay, Spanky packed his Milkbones and left the lamp shop for Hollywood. There, he contracted a disabling case of red mange from a mongrel bitch. Clyde savored a great deal of sweet revenge when he learned of Spanky's plight from behind the prison walls.

sometimes crime does pay , but not every criminal can afford it .
Sadly, this bird nesting cans / was robbed shortly / before I returned / after an absence of 43 years.
As the two robbers came in "Unexpected" outfits, they thought they had this robbery in the bag. One thing the two did not expect was the police coming from behind. (absailing down the window). This is a scene which I thought would be a fun one to do. The background in the windows is the grand emporium. I messed around with lighting levels a bit in photoshop.
Feedback appreciated :D.

Gold Escort Robbery.
It was Sunday, 15th June 1862 a number of men all of whom were bushrangers lay in waiting after blocking the road by using two bullock teams which were protected by a large granite boulder.
The scene was set for what would become the largest gold robbery in Australia’s history.
It would become known as the Gold Escort Robbery and it took place on what is named Escort Way which is between Eugowra and Orange in the Central West region of New South Wales.
Bushranger Frank Gilbert aka Frank Christie along with his gang which consisted of Ben Hall, John Gilbert, John O’Meally, Henry Manns, Alexander Fordyce, Daniel Charters, John McGuire and John Bow all of whom were dressed in red serge shirts and red night caps with blackened faces were about to create history.
The Ford & Co coach being driven by John Fagan and accompanied by four police officers were forced to slow down as they approached the blockade and it was at this point the bushrangers opened fire.
In the ensuing commotion the horses reared up causing the coach to overturn.
Sergeant Condell who was in the box with the driver was hit in his side and Senior-Sergeant Moran received a bullet wound to his groin.
In the ensuing melee the bushrangers loaded their haul and hurriedly made off with an estimated 14,000 Pound haul.
It consisted of 2067 ounces of gold and 700 pounds from the Oriental Bank, 521 ounces of gold from the Bank of NSW and 129 ounces of gold and 3000 pound from the CBC Bank.
In today’s value the haul is estimated to be approximately 4 million dollars however this valuation varies due to differing opinions.
Immediately following the robbery assistance was sought and gained from Mr Hanbury Clements who was on a neighbouring station and it was he who went to Forbes to notify police of the robbery.
They arrived at the scene of the robbery the following day when they . located the mail bags which were four miles from the robbery scene along with boxes and the tracks of 10 horses.
However freedom would be short lived as all the gang were either arrested or killed including John (Jack) O’Meally who was shot and killed during an attack on the Goimbla station homestead near Eugowra in November 1863.
Ben Hall was shot and killed at Goobang Creek, west of Forbes in 1865 just two days prior to his 28th birthday and John Gilbert was shot and killed a week later at Binalong, near Yass.
Henry Manns was hung at Darlinghurst Gaol and the remainder served prison sentences.
Frank Gardiner would serve only 10 years of his sentence due to a change in public opinion and he was released and went into exile in America where he died in 1904 in San Francisco.
Today in the small village of Eugowra also known as the Village of Murals which displays murals depicting the past history of the area.
Eugowra, New South Wales, Australia.
Great Train Robbery loco 40126 sits under relics from the steam shed's past on 16th May 1982.
The loco was at the head of the Glasgow to Euston mail train that was robbed on the WCML some 19 years earlier in August 1963.
I remember sitting in the cab seeing some graffiti about the loco being jinxed (it was also the same loco that a secondman was electrocuted on, some years after the robbery incident).
It was withdrawn in February 1984 and scrapped at Doncaster Works.

Recently I have been inspired by a lot of other builder's futuristic/apocalyptic Mocs. Ended up being one of my favorite Mocs I've done.

GMP is stepping up patrols to prevent cash-in-transit robberies in the run-up to Christmas and for the first time Police Dog Luther will be part of the team.
Luther, 11 months old, joined GMP when he was eight weeks old and will be joining the patrols with his handler PC Phil Monaghan and his other police dog Trouble, aged 7 and a half. Both are black German Shepherds.
PC Monaghan said: “I have had Luther since he was eight weeks old and this will be his first Christmas on patrol joining Trouble who I have been working with for six years. They are a great team.”
Patrols will be routinely following vans delivering and collecting cash from ATMS, banks, and shops to ensure security guards remain safe during their busiest time of the year.
Detective Superintendent Mark Smith said: “We will be keeping a close watch over the vans and using a range of specialist resources including the police dogs like Luther. Cash-in-transit robberies are serious and often violent crimes that put drivers and the wider community at risk.
“We will be working with colleagues from forces across the North West as we know the criminals will travel across the region to commit these crimes. The message is simple we are using everything we can to make it difficult for criminals this Christmas.”
Information and intelligence is shared with detectives from Titan, the regional organised crime unit and officers from Merseyside, Lancashire, Cheshire, Cumbria and North Wales.
Anyone with information about cash-in-transit robberies should contact 101 or the independent charity Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555111.

My entry to Eurobricks Collectable LEGO Minifigures Series 6 Building Contest. It's a place for a Bandit. To be honest, I'm not much happy with this vig.

I'm really glad no one came into my apartment seeing me in a ski mask holding a Glock.
To clarify, just because a few have asked: this was a self-portrait. I was not pointing the gun at anyone. I have a wireless shutter remote that I was holding in my left hand to trigger the camera. The gun was unloaded (no magazine was even in the gun), and no one else was even home. It was pretty scary, though, pointing a gun at my 50D and 100L. The thought of shooting them makes kittens cry.
