Those Rat pack black & whites are pretty cool
Many Guys drawn to The Rat Pack era and....existence.
'Specially Gamblers, I reckon.
To Own Vegas, in such a Manner and at a time when the world was so much less insane...
would have to be like swimming in the sky, weightless enveloped in bliss.
Like we experience in Dream.
I'd like to be riding with Billy Walters though, back in the 80's when The Group hit 86% on College Football to salvage their year though.
That had to be a Happy Happy Day
"The Group" had many Happy Days but
The Rat Pack, I reckon, had more......
Either I'd take though. And be way past "thankful".
David and
Hjördis Genberg Niven (David Niven's second wife and Sweden's first supermodel)
with the first Rat Pack, 1956
"I haven’t really mentioned booze yet. Considering that Hjördis’ reputation since her death has revolved around alcoholism; that seems like an oversight. However, chronologically there isn’t really that much to report before 1955. She was regularly photographed on nights-out, but there are precious few references to her alcohol consumption beyond attendance at cocktail parties.
So far the only real mention has been the no-food, gin-only lunch at Wilcot Manor back in 1950. However, that was more a story about her aversion to food rather than love of drink."
