MAE WEST'S MUSCLEMAN REVUE LAS VEGAS 1950's
Mae West and her lover and partner for the rest of her life Paul Novak (left) On her right is Mickey Hargitay, who Jayne Mansfield stole from her act, and married. |
Mae West knew the men in the audience would be watching her, so she had musclemen in her act for the wives to enjoy.... and a few of the boys too. |
Mae West interviewed musclemen for her act in a see through top with rouged nipples. She had always had well built men as her lovers, as well as a few black prize fighters. |
Mae West's musclemen fondly remember their time in her show, saying Mae was a helluva woman, and a great lady who showed a genuine admiration for them. |
In the 60's Mae West recorded a few albums of pop music that included 'Great Balls of Fire' and 'Day Tripper'. |
Sextette was Mae's last film. She was well into her 80's, and was as usual, surrounded by a bevy of men. |

GASP: "Feelin' Good" posted 11th day of 11th month of 2011
'Feelin' Good' sung by Nina Simone.
Birds flying high you know how I feel
Sun in the sky you know how I feel
Breeze driftin' on by you know how I feel
(refrain:)x2
It's a new dawn
It's a new day
It's a new life
For me
And I'm feeling good
Fish in the sea you know how I feel
River running free you know how I feel
Blossom on the tree you know how I feel
(refrain)
Dragonfly out in the sun you know what I mean, don't you know
Butterflies all havin' fun you know what I mean
Sleep in peace when day is done
That's what I mean
And this old world is a new world
And a bold world
For me
Stars when you shine you know how I feel
Scent of the pine you know how I feel
Oh freedom is mine
And I know how I feel
(refrain)
