Bombshell Memories
The age of the blonde bombshell may be gone, but the memories of her and her sister dark-haired beauties linger on. Bombshells is Internet proof that sexuality was around way before slick men's magazines came along.

The site recalls fond memories of Betty Grable, the pin-up favorite of GIs during World War II -- and many will argue none of today's starlets could match her for legs. There's Greta ("I vant to be alone") Garbo, sultry-voiced Marlene Dietrich, and Jane Russell whose cantilevered bra in Howard Hughes' movie "The Outlaw" outraged the Hollywood of a more conservative age.

Bombshells has plenty of pictures, and it has turned the into a collection of the most glamorous electronic postcards you are likely to find on the Net. You can select a card featuring one of 18 beauties ranging from Audrey Hepburn to Mae West (and even including Betty Boop), type in your message and hit the "Send-Card" button on the preview screen to zip it on its way.

You can also have your favorite bombshell sing to you. All you need is a 28.8 modem and Real Audio, and you can listen to Dietrich on "See What the Boys in the Backroom Will Have," Alice Faye with "Baby It's Cold Outside" and garden-hatted Carmen Miranda with her inimitable "I Yi Yi Yi Like You."
