does it get any classier than this?

I think not. (Obviously I'm talking about the post that follows, not my new blog design...haha!!) *wink*

Thanks for all of the feedback on the new layout, everyone! I'm very excited about giving my little corner of the blogosphere a facelift. :) In case you didn't notice, part of that project included finding a new profile image. Given my love of classic Hollywood (and books, that goes without saying, right?), I started searching for images of my favorite stars reading. Myrna Loy was a top choice, and ultimately the winner:


She also had a good option B:


There were a few runners-up...

Marilyn Monroe

Audrey Hepburn

After these great finds I had to look up some of my favorite guys (this makes sense, right?).

Errol Flynn

Fred Astaire

Frank Sinatra

A post like this just wouldn't be complete without a little Frank. :)

*happy sigh* I love these people, I really do...

    @Ella - LOL! Yeah, I'm not very subtle when it comes to Jane and Rochester, am I? ;) I'd love to feature your thoughts on the film when you see it, as part of my "All Things Jane" series -- if you're interested, or have another idea, my e-mail is available through my Blogger profile page!

    Myrna Loy is the best. Absolutely gorgeous, hilariously funny, a perfect combination. The Thin Man films are among my favorites and I love her in those. She is also great in the underappreciated film, Love Me Tonight.

    @Joy - Thanks!

    @phylly3 - Thank you!

    @Carl V. - Oh, I adore the Thin Man films! I don't think I've seen Love Me Tonight, I'll have to keep an eye out for that one! Thanks for the tip.

    Love me Tonight is a very old and silly film but it is a delight, very funny at times, and Myrna Loy is quite the hottie in it.
