    There is a Kurt Vonnegut book entitled "Sirens of Titan" that has everything to do with UFOs, extra-terrestrials, and other phenomena. Maybe that means something. And maybe I am driving myself on the brink of madness trying to decipher these.

    In the Uncut interview, Ed mentioned how influential Kurt Vonnegut's writing has been. So if Ed had any imput on the artwork (pretty safe to assume he did) then this connection makes sense.

    I already tried Sophia Loren and Tina Turner earlier today...

    Hubby just told me a name to look up before he fell asleep.... but it's not familiar to me and I can't really find pictures.

    Betty Gamble? Betty Grable? Oops...forgot which one he said.

    If not...then I'm beginning to wonder if maybe it's a combination of women....but that wouldn't work, right?

    just so you guys know...I'm on the red dress case, too!

    closest I was able to get is this:

    Marilyn. Drat! It's gotta be something 60s, right? famous scene/still just like the other two..

    I think this one is relevant because the shoes are the same and it's not so much a dress as a very short pantsuit (which is what it looked like to me in the picture with the guy on the tricycle.)

    Maybe you are right, justam.

    Her skin color is too white, though... unless there's a picture of her somewhere where she's painted darker.

    I just realized something... I didn't know that Ursula and Raquel also posed for playboy.

    So... Marilyn Monroe was famous for that too...

    This is challenging!

    why do i get the feeling that it's some obscure 60s gem of a film that only Tom and perhaps Gene Siskel would know! like this still from an Italian neo-realism flick. quick someone email Gene...














    p.s. I swear Tom did this on purpose.

    This is driving me crazy...I've been glued to the computer more than usual today...and that is making me feel dirty!

    email him and put us out of misery please!

    Well, one thing I did notice while looking around for the legs was that there are a lot of Charlie's Angels pictures where three women are standing with their legs spread like that.

    one more post and I'm done for tonight. :oops: I promise!

    But here's an interesting thing.... maybe you all knew this, but I didn't.

    All the characters that played Charlie's Angels have posed for Playboy!

    The AngelTour: http://sjisasillyboy.tripod.com/tour/main.html

    There's got to be a clue there....

    Can someone refresh my memory why "Charlie" was inserted in the title. It has been a long time since I've seen that movie.

    Charlie controlled those women? Just like this Snoop Dogg pimp?

    I should go and rent that movie tomorrow!

    EDIT: Ok, these charlie's angels were hired as private investigators for Charlie who has never shown his face in TV series.

    Three women. Sexy and well-known women.

    You all are going to hate me for this...but found Snoop's music video and you'll note he has 3 women posing with him. Snoop Dogg - Sensual Seducation :lol:

    Three women. Playboy girls. Under one man. Pimp. Hmm....why is this pimp tiny? Shallow? Red dress is difficult to find...other than Farrah Fawcett and Marilyn Monroe. "Hidden" picture of Farrah? Just like hidden Charlie?

    Me need some serious therapy....

    I didn't compare the brain picture I turned up in a graphics program until just now and I'd say that the image source is officially cracked:

    I'm not sure where the image was originally presented. Trying to find that out currently so I didn't post it. Here are some possibilities that I'm sorting through:

    *edit* Looks like it may originate from this flickr user???
    Gaetan Lee and it says it was taken in Knightsbridge, London?
