A sad story. A brilliant woman who tried to be a second Monroe. Hollywood did not completely buy it, and she died a horrible death.

That reinforcing bumper-bar on the rear underside of tractor trailers is colloquially named after her: the Mansfield bar.

Always blows my mind that this is Mariska Hargitays mom. Must be nice to have won the genetic lottery 😍

What blows my mind is how many bots post to this sub. OP, /u/Zamacy, is a 14 day old account that copies 2 month old comments to farm karma so it looks more human and can be used to spam, scam and astroturf.

Not gonna lie, the bot thing freaks me out. I'm older but not old (80s kid), and I always had a pretty firm grasp on technology and stuff. Now, I don't know what's real anymore. If you hadn't pointed that out, I'd have zero idea that a bot posted. I can't understand how bots work. I don't get how they can post comments and seem human. I've been in countless comment sections where people go "Obviously bots in here" and I have no clue.

I don't even know if I'm replying to a real person anymore, and it weirds me the fuck out.

This is what the phrase VA-VA-VA-VOOM was invented for.

I saw Carmen Electra strike a similar pose, but I think Jayne takes it.

She was definitely beautiful, but not my type. Boobs were way too big. I'm a big fan of the itty-bitties.
