She was a favorite punch board of JFK because she had the same name as the broad he was banging during WW2 that got him sent to the Pacific.
She later retired and went to work and live in Wisconsin where she still comments on blogs that call her insipid.
Who can figure starlets.
Anyhoo......Whose that Girl?

Inger Binger Stevens.
That's kind of funny, cause my real name is a bit similar.
One of the ladies in my neighborhood growing up was a famous paramour of JFK, but I suppose we can ALL say that.
Guy thought it was better when you spread the wealth around, I guess.
Where's Windbag?
He's at least trustworthy in these matters.
Anybody from Wisconsin been to Benihana's downtown Milwaukee? It was OK, but not great.
Just got home from my grandsons 9th birthday party there, the kid loves sushi. I had a few glasses of Riesling, Chateau Ste. Michelle, yum, forgot how much I missed wine. I am on carb overload.
I don't know M'waukee well at all. As a kid we'd go visit my dad's brother who lived in West Allis. M'waukee kids were always tougher that Madison kids.
I liked how every block had alleys with detached garages. I'm pretty sure that housing stock is pretty run down by now.
Milwaukee is a scary place now. Where I grew up was the outskirts of town, I'm sure the crime rate in my old neighborhood is pretty bad.
We had a ranch house with a detached garage, the alley was a creek before it was paved over.
In the 70s white flight happened in a big way to Waukesha and Washington Counties.
In highschool we were considered to be "Collegiates", the girls who wore heir hair long, the kids in the older neighborhoods were the "Hoods", those girls still teased their hair amd wore the bouffant styles.
Then we all became hippies.
Is a detached garage one that doesn't give a shit about Governor Walker?
Hehe. Maybe it's Garage after a few joints. But he'd still care. I hate to admit this and DO NOT tell Garage I said this, but I'm getting to the point I don't give a FF who is the Governor or even the President, they are all the same.
Of course I would never admit this on Althouse. And Chickie, don't you dare give me away.
I sat and watched those two guys
Debate each other on TV
Politicians, wrestlers
They're all the same to me
Hey, I don't give a damn
What idiot runs this country
'cause I'm the Last Man on Earth
That's what the matter is with me
FFS, I thought this was a swingin' '60s chicks thread.
If I want to read about fuckin' Wisconsin politics I know where to go--to the garage mahal thread.
Where I ain't.
Now how 'bout them tits, dammit.
(Just finished season 1 of Justified, and I'm feelin' like a badass.)
Allie, in what part of Milwaukee were you raised? I was raised in the southwest side.
Milwaukee used to be a nice city, until about 25 years ago when it started its long slide into urban decay, high crime and population shift to nearby counties. It now has the fourth highest unemployment rate of major cities, and 27% of the adult population lives below the poverty line.
Tom Barrett hopes to take these accomplishments statewide as part of his campaign to defeat Governor Walker in the re-call elections.
Hi Michael, I was raised in the northwest side of Milwaukee, my Dad's barber shop was on 76th and Ruby. Our house was on 78th and Glendale.
We walked the mile and a half to John Marshall High School, jam packed with bouncing baby boomers. It got mighty cold at times with the mini skirts, we weren't allowed to wear slacks to school until the last half of my senior year, graduated in 1970 with a graduating class of 500.
When I was first in Tokyo in '82 I saw a Benihana. It was called Benihana's of San Francisco because what they were serving was not Japanese food.
I just finished season 2 of Justified - I want some apple pie.
Chip for the win. Some background.
My initial guess, based on the pic, was Angie, but Trooper's hints shut that down fast.
windbag, you of all people should know to discount Trooper's hints heavily.
Everybody's watching Justified! I love this.
Season 2 was the best so far. Season 3 had a lot of action, though.
And Sixty, I always can go for homemade apple pie. Warm. With ice cream.
Which is why I don't want it in the house. :)
I'm not watching "Justified".
So, there.
Well, why the hell not?
Ah fear that if ah keep own channelin' Raylan lahk this, I'm gonna wind up on the wrong end of a tire iron.
Do not seek the apple pie that is offered by Maggs, just sayin'...
I'm not a "joiner".
May you soon see the error in your ways, Blake, and set out on the path of righteous tv viewing.
I, too, wandered in the darkness of shows like The Killing, but now my time is saved from waste and my heart is free of anger.
Watchin' bad guys get shot all to hell can do wonders for the soul.
I've been watching Game of Thrones.
There, everyone gets killed. Good, bad, indifferent...
I watched a bit of that, Blake. I kind of like the general "code" of Justified better, though. There are surprises, but somewhat like the Sopranos, you sort of know who has crossed the line and is gonna get it. And then you just wait for it.
In "Game of Thrones," being good and honorable gets you killed.
At least if you don't realize that others are NOT good and honorable.
Game of Thrones sounds like something I might like, I'll have to check it out. Is it on Netfix yet?
Dunno. Not a Netflixer either.
(What'd I say about being a "joiner"?)
So I guess shopping at Sam's Club is out of the question.
I got a certificate for a CostCo membership in 2006 along with a $50 spending card. I've never redeemed either.
I never took you for an outright contrarian, blake.
I misprejudged you.
The best part of "Justified" is Olyphant's acting and the unusual setting. How many modern stories are set in KY?
Chip, do you have a swastika tattood on your left upper arm?
@Allie: Your avatar reminds me of that ever-changing painting which haunts Roddy McDowall in the first episode of "Night Gallery."
Well, I seem to have cleared the room.
BBL
I really this very inexpensive set of golf clubs. Mostly because they are soooo me. Purple. And a purple bag. How could I not do well with all that purple goodness?
Also need a sugar daddy (or mama), apparently.
The good news is that I can swing those clubs with no pain. Yay!
Of course, the golf club post was missing the word "want", which is very important.
Thanks for putting up with my silly stuff.
@Allie
Nope, Game of Thrones isn't available at Netflix. Hulu+ has many short excerpts that will give you a taste.
You can rent it for $3.99 per episode from Amazon Instant or itunes.
Here's the "making of" video on youtube
If you liked the production values of "ROME" you will enjoy HBOs GoT and as in ROME, there's a smattering of soft pron/gratuitous sex.
As in Herbert's Dune Chronicles or Tolkein's Hobbit-LoTR, Martin carries a character driven story arc over multiple generations and cultures.
Your local library should have the "A Song of Ice and Fire" collection (A Game of Thrones is book 1), I'd start there.
No doubt, you can tell that I'm a huge fan...although "A Dance with Dragons", the fifth book released last summer, was a little weak. Now we await book six, "The Winds of winter".
Anyone watching "Revenge"?
Well, if Game of Thrones isn't available thru Netflix I've been watching some other show. Aside from the abundance of tits, I've gotta rate Justified well above whatever spinoff of GoT I've been watching.
Also need a sugar daddy (or mama), apparently.
Doesn't matter if the clubs are RH or LH, cuz Darcy swings both ways (apparently).
;-)
Don't you know that we're all lesbians here at TY, Chip? :)
chicklit, I had that tat inked over.
Telling you more would involve a spoiler if you've only watched a couple of epis.
Why do you think I spend so much time here, Darce?
Shoot. I was counting on you all being bi.
But I'm always ready to try to convert a lesbian. I find the missionary position most appropriate.
Oh, look! Hills to run. *runs*
BJM, ah iTunes, yep that's an option. Loved Rome, the sex, the violence, the intrigue, good viewing!
Even a bit of ancient history.
Lizzies, whose a Lizzy?!
Chip, your scary Bible thumper avatar is going to make us all behave ourselves, not.
Yes, Allie, I'm here to keep you all on the right path.
In this particular case, the right path is talking about Inger Stevens.
What's the deal with that pose? I mean, it's not some studio shot--it's in somebody's nice respectable middle-class yard. And there she is, in a bikini begging for a bone.
To whoever took that pic--I salute you.
The path to righteousness.
Repent or face hellfire.
Boys are always finding ways to amuse themselves, forever playing with their toys.
My grandson loves his rubber band machine gun I got him for is birthday, my daughter is worried, hehe.
Small varmints need to take cover.
He doesn't have any small varmints of the "little sister" variety, does he?
LOL. I just got Chip's joke.
Enhanced blonde.
Yes, two sisters, one bigger who will whoop his butt if he shoots her and one smaller, who will also whoop his butt. He might have to do a sneak attack and then run like hell.
I am lesbianicus!
If I was a woman, I'd be a lesbian.
Hee, Michael.
And see, Allen? You get it. lol
Justified is so California it's not even funny. Pretend as they might that it is set in Kentucky, every landscape, every tree, the very light itself, all scream "California".
And Raylan's attempt at growing a beard is as gay as it can be. Really dude? You like like you were eating chocolate ice cream and forgot to wash your face afterwards.
"Justified" is so fab.
I'm glad I don't even notice the trees.
Love it.
Tits
Allie: Imagine how upset your daughter would be if it were all painted and stained like mine is:
link
Chickie, did you do that as an adult, or as a kid?
My avatar is my daughter with her big guns, I don't think anyone can make out her name tag, let me know if you can so I can take it down.
Just got that the other night, the only one that got through from Afghanistan electronically.
I did it a few years ago for my son.
He lost interest in rubber band toys when he got a BB gun.
Allie, if you click on the picture for the large size, you actually get a picture that is smaller. What's that all about?
It's just the house fly catcher now. I'm really the only one who uses it. We have flys out here, but not many.
I worked several hours today on a gravity fed underground watering system for some citrus trees I'm planting. I routed rain water from a gutter to drain and then to pipe that carries it underground to a buried 5 gallon bucket. When it fills, the water flows to the next one and then the next one like compartments on the Titanic. All underground of course. I drilled holes in the buckets so they will "drain" underground. There are vent tubes up to the surface for the displaced air. In the summer I can fill the buckets via the same drain with a hose.
I'm so damn sick of buying lemons and limes at the store for cocktails that I had to take matters into my own hands.
I have no idea Allen, maybe it's OPSEC, lol.
I can expand it on my iPad.
Here's two pictures of my 1980 CJ7 Jeep project.
Picture 1
Picture 2
Dang! They came out too dark. Anyone know how to lighten them up on that Picasaweb thing?
That's quite a horseless chariot, Allen.
Allen, it that jeep completed? It looks like its missing it's chassis. Where do you drive it?
I don't know a thing about building a car.
More better pictures:
Picture 1
Picture 2
No Allie, it's not completed. This is the chassis, but the body is not on yet. I have the grill and front fenders completed and primed. Next I have to work on the tub (that's what the rest of the body is called).
Next up, I have to rebuild the carburator.
Carburator. That's were carbs get aerated,
Allen, my son would go nuts over your jeep. He is very mechanically inclined and just became a Millwright Journeyman. My only kid without a degree.
He has built several cars, or I should say rebuilt. He's taken a couple of them and raced them on the drag strip, I forgot the name of it, it's in Ill. I think.
@CHip S
How you doin' that? HBO & Netflix split the sheets earlier this year. GoT doesn't return any result in my online netflix streaming account (I no longer subscribe to DVDs).
How'd you get it into your instant queue?
@BJM: DVD
@AllenS: That's an awesome project.
Allen - That is a great looking restoration! Are you going to keep the frame white? That probably means it won't ever go into the mud, right?
Funny thing is, on the way into work this morning I was thinking taht I need a Jeep CJ as a winter driver. Not a nice one like yours, though!
Yes, Michael, the frame will be a gloss white. The color of the body parts will be poppy red, which is more of an orange color (early Ford Mustang color). The motor is painted GM blue. Bellhousing chrome aluminum. Other parts gloss black. The purpose of the Jeep will be to plow my driveway in the winter so I don't have to sit on the tractor anymore, freezing my ass off.
If you decide to buy a used older Jeep, you must look underneath to see if the frame is rusted through. Jeeps are notorious rusters in this part of the country. If you zoom in on my pictures, look at the rear of the frame and you'll see extra metal welded on. Also, another weak spot is where the bumper attaches to the rear cross member. Notice some angle iron in front of that that I welded on to the frame and then ran longer bolts attaching the rear bumper to.
If you ever have any questions, ask me. My email address is on my profile.
Allen - Thanks.
Very cool, Allen.
AllenS and Michael Haz are real men who can do stuff w/ their hands. You guys would love Nick Offerman's [aka Ron Swanson] view of life. I had many greaser friends in my youth. But, the ability to work on cars never rubbed off on me. However, lIoved riding around in their GTO's, 442's and Super Bee's and watching quarter mile races on back roads. I even was the starter sometimes.
Nice project Allen. While we are sharing, this is mine 72 K5 Blazer. Dumbplumber has his own project vehicle(s).
So far we have replaced the transmission with a 700R4. The car was bought from the original owner and is rust free. Last summer the exhaust manifold cracked and when we went to replace it we had a heck of a time. The casting wouldn't meet the header pipe and would NOT fit.
Our friend who is a retired GM master mechanic took a look and informed us that we had a Corvette engine and so we ordered a replacement manifold for a 71 Corvette motor and tadah!! it fit. This explains why it runs like a champ on the freeway and loads up at low speeds (when we are on the back roads for a long period of time)
We checked with the owner and he confirmed that he had never replaced the engine. It was original to the vehicle. His buddies who worked in the plant installed it at the assembly line.
I really want to take the top off of the Blazer for the summer, but my hubby says if I do, it will leak. Damn.
Nice vehicle, D.
@Chip S
DVD?? You mean those shiny round things under my coffee cup?
Once Roku hit the market I gave up on Netflix via USPS cuz it's a 1/4 mile hike down a steep road to our mail box...so if it ain't streamin' I ain't watchin'.
Me too BJM, no DVDs except for the Rome series, which was worth buying, which I did. I may rewatch it with my daughter when she gets home, she loved Rome too back when it was on HBO.
Streaming only.
I have Rome on DVD too and I still buy DVDs, I just don't rent them anymore...too much hassle. Prices have really come down for classics and older stuff so I've been filling in the gaps in our collection before the format disappears.
There's a terrific program called "AnyDVD" that handles encryption without hacking the DRM code so you can store DVD content on a file server (or any networked computer) or copy with their also excellent "CloneDVD"...but I ain't blessing such behavior (cough, cough). Our Tivo's can access the file server over our home network and stream locally.
When I was down with the crud in Feb I re-watched Rome in one swell foop. Awesome.
Purefoy recently joined the "Revenge" cast, but alas only for three episodes...they dispatched him last week.
Purefoy is pure joy ;)

Well done - Monk can now rest easy...
'cept you just screwed it up.
Now we gotta go to 1,000.
Then we must go "All Palin all the time!" - that'll do the trick.
Sarah Palin: "Look, a moose!"
garage mahal: "Look, a squirrel!"
Boris Badenov: "Is always moose and squirrel!"
104/1000
Can't wait until we get to 150 so I can type: CL
Yeah, well, for you city slickers hangin' around Prospect Park and such places, maybe talking to a Russian is not that big of a deal. But for a old country boy such as myself, having a neighbor from Russia was a big deal. He talked just like Boris Badenov. He had bleck ket, nam-med Ebon-yee. Was not in KGB.
>>Was not in KGB.
Yeah, they all say that.
Well, he wasn't. He managed to escape in the 70s - you know, when you could see signs all over DC saying "Free Russian Jewelry".
What?
Never mind...
Back in the '90s I was consulting in a lab which kept costs down by hiring immigrants—preferably sponsoring them, which is a kind of indentured servitude—and there was a coterie of Russians.
Since I had studied Russian in college, I would go out and try my accent on them, and they kinda liked me, though they certainly thought I was strange. (What American studies Russian?)
But one of the girls was named "Jenny" and when she said that, I said "That's not your real name! What's your real name?"
The look on her face was fascinating. There was a moment of panic where the good old bad days came back to her and someone challenging you like that was a Very Bad Thing indeed.
Or, maybe she thought I was just rude.
Name was Natasha. Must find moose and squirrel.
Yeah, being afraid of the government is not something one gets over easily. Look for it soon, in a neighborhood near you!

Sounds like a cop show set in ancient Rome.
In year 111AD, the Emperor Trajan designated a special consul to investigate crime throughout the land. They had no tools, except random crucifixion, but these brave men got the job done.
ROME: CXI
Perhaps all those portrait busts in marble were used as mug shots before cameras were invented. And don't get me started on chiseling a summons out of a slab of rock!
