Sally was a pistol, a notable pistol...

Sweet young girl and horny old goat, but a legend nonetheless...

You would expect that Vassilyev would be a more common name with that many offspring to carry it on.

Wow. Great job being a human.

Pretty sure we've heard this story before but it bears repeating...

 

Outstanding!

Speaking of notable women...

This is a very notable pair of larger than life women...

I would say this woman is notable, much tougher than that red Nissan, maybe even dangerous.
Apparently she's impossible to harm, probably a witch.



 

fuck yeah!

About as notable as you can get...


Your mug on a coin is a step up from the post office wall.

Auditions can be so demoralizing, and there's a whole philosophy that says there are dozens if not hundreds of people alongside you who are just as talented/qualified, so the most important thing is to be memorable. I read about a guy whose schtick was he would enter the audition limping with a bloody pants leg, claiming in bewilderment that a dog had just bitten him on the way in. Hard to say whether it ever had an effect on his gig rate, but it definitely failed the day he showed up in front of a casting agent who had already seen him a few months earlier with the same bleeding leg.

Notable for sure, Lillian Moller Gilbreth (1878-1972) was celebrated in 20th-century US as a mother and as an engineer.
Two of her kids published memoirs, both made and remade into popular films... “Cheaper by the Dozen” and “Belles on their Toes”.
 
She and husband Frank, also an engineer, ran Gibreth, Inc until his death in 1924, then a widow with 11 kids to put through college.
All she accomplished after that was be a founder of industrial psychology and a key figure in modernizing kitchens.
 
Designing kitchens was her favorite, her ‘circular routing’, cut making a coffee cake motions by 50% and footsteps by 80%. But she didn’t stop there.
She had no patience with women wearing themselves out to meet impossible standards of cleanliness and maintained that if tasks that could be ‘handed over’ to outside help or businesses, they should be.
Useless chores like ironing sheets should be eliminated altogether; any remaining should be simplified and done cooperatively by all family members including the husband according to aptitude.
 
Where she really hit her stride was working for the navy during WWII designing  kitchens for disabled vets. Then in a eureka moment she realized there are a lot more disabled people who have the same problems in the kitchen who are not vets.
She spent her whole life deflecting praise, giving credit for her successes to others.
