MAE WEST

Who's the biggest tease of them all? Well, it's MAE WEST! She's the one with the double entendres, the deliberate walk, the sexy smile, but never, never did she ever stripped or showed any part of her body to the public.
The people lapped up her quotes, her provocative manners ,her unique voice.
In her era, she was considered bold and risque. But she didn't really care.
The lady had talent.She was a stage and screen actress who insisted on writing her own screenplays.Mae West was born in Brooklyn New York on 17 August, 1893.Her father was a boxer and her mother was a corset model. She got her spunk from her father and her self-confidence and poise from her mother.
If one watches one of her movies, one can not expect to see her naked or skimpily clothed.She's a smart dresses, always classy.
But one could feel that one is being treated to a mental strip tease show. She's the first woman on films who mixed comedy with sex. So being funny could be sexy too, thanks to Mae West.Mae used words and gestures to promote sex-every look, every laugh, every tilt of the head, every walk, and the sound of her voice were all calculated . All this in one neat package of an explosive sexual dynamite.She's an expert teaser...she'll tease and tease and tease you till you are on the verge of a powerful orgasm...and yet, she shows nothing, promises nothing...
She knew how to hold you in sexual suspense.
The strict moral code of the movies then, headed by Will Hayes, censored all of Mae's films until she could no longer work for Hollywood.Such was the influence of this woman.She turned to the stage singing, surrounded by tall,muscular men wearing almost nothing.I like that! She showed that women can do it too. Male performers always had beautiful ,bikini clad girls as props.Now here comes Mae West, putting one over the men!
If you take a close look at Mae West, her features will tell you she had a voluptous figure, almost bordering to being fat, her face was not extraordinarily beautiful, and yet she was then, as now, considered a temptress, a sex goddess, a sex symbol. She was different and dared to be different.
She's definitely one of a kind....and I know I am not the only one who thinks this way. She died of a stroke in 1980 at the age of 87, still the sex goddess and legend that she truly was and is!
