A so-so 30's film will not throw off the scent. I'm in to you guys.

Maybe a couple Ashley Graham selfies will do the trick??

And... did all Peeping Toms in the cinema go blind?
(Or did they look the other way perhaps?)


It wasn't Ted Turner using the crayons, was it?
(The original movie was in colour. This image was tampered with, IMO. Looks like coloured from a B/W picture. Looking at it may make you go colour-blind.)

Hi Cees, yeah the original must have been a B/W photo, they did that a lot back then, the lobby cards for Technicolor films were taken from BW photos and later colorised by hand before being sent out to theaters. Was color photography so expensive back then? Cheaper to have someone slowly colorise them?

Lady Godiva was a low rated 1950s movie and wasn't included on my video but I had to add that picture in there somewhere. :)

Peeping Tom and Lady Godiva are ye Olde English legends of yore... arrr Jim lad arrr....

A British engine builder called Coventry Climax uses a Lady Godiva medallion on their valve covers.

Here's a Coventry Climax engine installed in a Lotus Super 7 as driven by No. 6 The Prisoner himself.

Searching on the Internet for information about Lady Godiva (did really exist, name comes from Godgyfu - God-given, Horse story not confirmed), one comes across several unworthy Lady Godivas. Unworthy (I won't post proof), because:

(1) Not very noble and decent person for wife of leading statesman (a.k.a. the first lady anomaly)
(2) Hair, wherever, too sparse to cover what it should
(3) Violation of the rug&curtains rule.
