NAZI GIRLFRIEND

 (7-27-12)  TODAY YOUR LOVE, TOMORROW THE WORLD...First things first, CLARA BOW (B-Day July 29) was no National Socialist! Explanations for this photo vary, from it being pre-Third Reich (doubtful) to Clara being coerced into wearing it by Paramount executive B.P. Schulberg while the two of them were in Germany sometime in the '30's. B.P. also talked C.B. into meeting Hitler. The Fuhrer was a big Clara Bow fan and the foreign film market, like today, was very important to Hollywood. Google "Clara Bow Swastika Scandal" for a 'full report'.

  IG CONNECTION: "Nazi Girlfriend" is a groovy little ballad          (really!) off of IGGY's adventurous "Avenue B" CD. It'd make a great 45 picture sleeve, if any record label was crazy enough to send a single called "Nazi Girlfriend" to radio stations.

  FUN FACT: That bell shaped flapper hat that Clara is wearing is called a "cloche". I always wondered what they were called..

Bonus: "HA HA HA!"

Bonus on a Bobus: "COMMIE CARTOONS!"
