Propaganda
Rita Moreno (Singin' in the Rain, West Side Story)—She’s an EGOT, an absolute legend for how she navigated her career as a woman of color in the fifties and sixties. Her performance as Anita in West Side Story is why I go back to that movie so many times. She is an icon and she is the moment.
Eartha Kitt (Anna Lucasta, St. Louis Blues)—My friend and I have a saying: NOBODY is Eartha Kitt. A thousand have tried, and they've all come up empty and will continue to do so. Everyone knows her for something: from "Santa Baby" to Yzma in Emperor's New Groove to Catwoman to making Lady Bird Johnson cry for the Vietnam War. She was a master of comedy and sex, an extremely vocal activist, and she aged like fine wine... I honestly don't know what I can say about her that hasn't already been said, so I'll stick to linking all my propaganda. Like what else do you want from me. She was iconic at everything she ever did. Literally name another. How can anyone even think of her and not want to absolutely drown?
This is one of two semifinals in the Hot & Vintage Movie Women Tournament. All other polls in this bracket can be found here. Propaganda is not my own and is on a submission basis. Please reblog with further support of your beloved hot sexy vintage woman.
[additional propaganda submitted under the cut.]
Eartha Kitt:
Tumblr media
"A hot vintage woman who was not just known for her voice, beauty, poise, and presence, but also her unapologetic ways of speaking about how she was mistreated in the show business as a girl who grew up on cotton fields in South Carolina in the 1930s through the 1940s coming to Broadway first and then Hollywood."
Tumblr media
"Have you watched her sing?? Have you seen her face?? Have you heard her talk?? How could you not fall instantly in love. She makes me incoherent with how hot she is."
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
"She can ACT she can SING she can speak FOUR LANGUAGES she is a GODDESS!!! Although she is (rightfully) remembered for her singing, TV appearances (Catwoman my beloved), and later film roles, her early appearances in film are no less impressive or noteworthy!! She’s an amazing actress with so much charisma in every role. She was also blacklisted from Hollywood for 10 years for criticizing the Johnson administration/Vietnam War, so. Iconic. Also Orson Welles apparently called her “the most exciting woman in the world.”
Tumblr media Tumblr media
"She had such a stunning, remarkable appearance, like she could tear you to shreds with just a glance- but the most undeniable part of her hotness was her voice, and it makes sense that it's what most people nowadays know her for. Nothing encapsulates the sheer magnetism of her singing better than this clip of her and Nat King Cole in St. Louis Blues, she pops in at 2:49. Also I know it's post-1970 but her song that was cut from Emperor's New Groove is likely to make you feel Feelings."
Tumblr media
"Even with as racist as Hollywood was in the 1950s and 60s, Eartha Kitt STILL managed to have a thriving career. She also once had a threesome with Paul Newman and James Dean, and called out LBJ over the Vietnam War so hard that it made First Lady Johnson cry. Eartha Kitt was talented, sexy, and a total badass activist."
Tumblr media
Rita Moreno:
Tumblr media
"Amazing showstopping actress in her one big memorable role as Anita in West Side Story. She sings and dances with unmatched joy and energy, and then breaks your heart with her acting. Rita took a role that felt as a stereotype to latina women and made it compelling and multifaceted. Her subsequent career was filled with mostly side roles, but she still managed to excel in whatever Hollywood threw at her."
Tumblr media
"It’s Rita!! The EGOT herself! She can act, she can sing, she can dance, a triple threat. Obviously absolutely iconic as Anita in West Side Story (her part of the Tonight Quintet is the sexiest part of the film, fight me). But before that she was the amazing Zelda in Singin’ In the Rain!?! Thanks Zelda, you’re a real pal."
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
"She continues to be amazing but also she's got legs for days."
Tumblr media Tumblr media
"THEE iconic rita moreno, EGOT winner, civil rights activist, theatre legend. watch her documentary "Rita Moreno: Just a Girl Who Decided to Go for It". also her rendition of "fever" on the muppet show"

i see others submitting stories so i’ll throw my Helm of the Host in the ring:
coming near to the end of college, i was working at a board game bar. it was a slow night, not a lot of people, but two folks walked in. they sat down and started cracking some jumpstart. i watched from behind the bar, made some small talk about how my brother taught me to play over a decade prior, and how it was something we bonded over.
they looked around at the slow night and asked me to sit down. one of them just moved to town and the other was helping, but was also trying to find some friends. we spent all night cracking through near a whole box of jumpstart and laughing, eventually leading to us making friends.
far and away, one of the best friends i’ve ever made, some of the best memories i’ve ever had, and i just finished tuning up my Eloise, Nephalia Sleuth zombie typal deck for game night before typing this out.
every post and ask you answer reminds me why i play! your dedication and love for what’s built here makes the game feel alive. thank you mark! happy birthday!
Thanks, and glad you shared your story.

It’s fox terrier timeeeee, what are doing???
Tumblr media
Her name would be Teak!
We'd probably try to find someone doing barn hunt over here, which i'm not sure is a thing. She'd be my hot water bottle during the winter and she'd nip at people when we go sledding.

Write the whole essay in English and then dunk it into DeepL. And then hand it in (don’t do this)
It's so irritating bcs I do in fact have standards about that LMFAO. And its annoying bcs he has in giant text: "Don't use Google Translate, ChatGPT, etc." And I would never use ChatGPT for anything bcs that would feel like losing a part of myself as a human. But like Google translate and other translation sites....bffr man eveyrone is going to use that, at least partially, be honest w yourself.
And the other thing about that is, it doesn't feel like he actually reads them, so would he even really penalize anyone? I really think he skims them or just checks the word count or smth. Bcs my god I did not just slave over that to get the comment "Sehr fein und auch interessant geschrieben!" Okay but is my grammer good????? Like what can I fix or????OH AND ONE MORE THING. There's a breakdown on the syllabus w percentages for the overall grade. And homework and class participation is listed as a pretty big percentage, when uhhhhhh we don't do either of those??? So truly my grades fucking hangs on these essays and then exams that also have only writing prompts that make me want to explode my pc.
Okay sorry for rambling I just. Yeah. Idk. Feel incompetent and lost. And inferior and such. Annoyed at both him and my own brain. I put more fucking work into tumblr posts than my actual classes sometimes bcs if I don't feel passion, then it's like my brain has leaked out of my ears. And I do find the content interesting!!! But not interesting enough to slave over smth of this magnitude that I think is only like...10 points maybe
