Modern Femme Fatale:
Starla James
Starla James

     It's a new year and with that comes a new member to our Modern Femme Fatales gallery. At the stroke of midnight on New Year's Day, we crowned ourselves a new Cheesecake Queen!
     Our twice-a-year on-line pin-up contest has grown and become more popular than ever! This time around we had the most votes ever cast for a contest--over 1,000 votes! And collecting 213 of those votes was our new Cheesecake Queen Starla James
     James hails from the UK, but can really make any red-blooded American male become weak in the knees. She was the first one sign up for the contest when the list opened on November 1st. And was not shy about promoting herself.
     Since this was our big 10th Cheesecake Contest, the good folks over at Cameo Intimates Lingerie offer up an amazing prize--a custom lingerie set designed and named after our new Queen!

Classic Femme Fatale:
Lee Lane
Jean Jani
     Lee Lane was not your typical bombshell. She wasn't bold or brassy like the bombastic Jayne Mansfield or the packed-with-deliquent-fire Mamie Van Doren. Lane was the real girl-next-door with the angelic smile. But you can't forget about her curves. It was enough to catch the eye of famed pin-up photographer/filmmaker/dirty old man Russ Meyer who did some work with her for Adam magazine. 
     He va-va-voom vibe doesn't hit you right off the bat. It's builds and builds and before you know it you're caught in her spell. More than one magazine made the comparison with her and sirens and other seductresses of mythology. 
     Lane's actual history is a bit sketchy. Some place her hometown as Miami. Others say it's Chicago. Wherever she came from, she hit Hollywood in the late 1950's working as a model, dancer, and part-time TV actress. By the mid-1960's she had disappeared from the pages and covers of men's magazines--which is a shame since her pixie look would have fit perfectly with the Mod generation.
