The Sudden Curve

Anne Francis RIP

Posted by Tom Novak and all the editors at large who have to say Bon Voyage to another TSC Banner, Space and Sidebar Babe :(

Holiday Sidebar Babe ~ Maria Rosaria Pilar Martinez Molina Moquire de les Esperades Santa Ana Romanguera y de la Najosa Rasten ... aka CHARO!

That's right CHARO! Usually we rotate about 10 - 14 Sidebar Babes over the Holiday Season but not this year. Charo seemed to fill the side bar just perfectly for a couple of weeks. Besides the fact that she was incomparably hot (as anyone who ever watched Merv Griffin knows full well) Charo is actually a virtuouso Flamenco guitar player and always has been. She even studied with Segovia. Don't believe it, well here she is from 1968 ::

She even gets an assist from Sammy at the end. And if you are thinking that's just a fluke - well here she is many years later playing what looks like one honking hard song to play ~ Recuerdas del las Alhambra ::

I read today that Bettie Page is in the hospital with heart problems. That's too bad.

Sidebar Babe :: Eva Mendez

Okay, okay, I hear you out there clamoring to take a crack at this weeks Sidebar Babe.  Well, no more teasing, here's your chance.

She's not a blast from the past this time, she's one of today's hottiest actresses.  Star of such recent mega hits as ...

Ghost Rider (Widescreen Edition)

Oh,stop whining,  this is soooooooo easy.  And as always the first right answerer who guesses the identity of our Sidebar Babereeno in the comments section and provides a genuine email address and isn't on the payroll and, and, and nothin' he/she/it gets entered in the drawing to win a shiny new TSC logo item. Or maybe more than one item, at this point - who knows.  Guess right and find out!

C'mon now, class, let's not always see the same hands ........

Sidebar Babe :: Amanda Tapping

Okay Sidebar Babe fans, time to show your Sidebar Babe expertise by naming the first Sidebar Babe of Fall 2007. She is an easily recognizable TSC multi-babe who just happens to be our perennial Fourth of July Sidebar Babe (even though she isn't an American {first and only hint- c'mon this's a cinch.}).

She's shown here demonstrating her fetching, early MegRyanesque. look.

The first person or avatar or pseudonym or whatever who guesses the right name in the comments first  ...  weeeeeell, happy day! Because, as always, our lucky, first-namer's name will be thrown into Tom Ender's cowboy hat (figuratively speaking) and entered into the drawing to win a TSC logo item, that some poor bastard still has to design... jeeez!

Okay .......        ........  no .......... ............. not yet ............... ............ NOW!!!!

Sidebar Babe :: Caroll Baker

One of the most oft-commented upon and spectacular Sidebar Babes of the past year is this weeks offering ... as we leap into the deep end of our pool of Sidebar Babes for our weekly; Guess The The Sudden Curve Sidebar Babe Contest - or GTTSCSBC for short.

This Sidebar Babe might be a little bit more of a challenge than our previous Sidebarettes.

So anyone who gets this one right off the get-go gets extra points for the difficulty factor. First correct commentor gets entered into the shallow end of our pool of Sidebar Babe Guessers and becomes eligible in the drawing to win a whiz-bang TSC Logo Item, of yet to be determined origin.

Easy as pie cheats have been removed for all you sneaky source code viewers ... not that you needed them so far.

Sidebar Babe :: Anne Francis

Here we go with another scintillating episode of "Guess the The Sudden Curve Sidebar Babe!"  Here we present one of our very first and original Sidebar Babes from the Sidebar Babe Archives.  She is a four time solo sidebar featurette and has shown up in various other locations in this publication over the years ... so this should be a snap.

Remember to provide a genuine email address with the correct answer identifying this week's SideBar Babe if you want to be entered into the drawing to win whatever it is we decide to give away to the winner, uhm, however we decide to determine who the winner will be who'll get the whatever -  Okaaaaaay .................

Sidebar Babe :: Melody Anderson

Flash Gordon (Saviour Of The Universe Edition)

Okay, here we go with Guess the TSC Sidebar Babe #2 and she's easy too ... um, maybe that doesn't sound quite right.  But guess away, the first right answerer may even get entered into some contest or something for a drawing of some essential cool stuff.  Provided you have a legitimate email address and are present to win and we can afford it and you aren't Bob, Wally, or either Toms.  Now - Ready ... set ... set and a half ... GO!

Sidebar Babe :: Kim Novak

Much of the mail we get around here that doesn't go immediately into the Hate that Bob bin has to do with the pictures posted over there on the upper left side bar.  And of course, long time myrmidons of The Sudden Curve know that TSC was probably the first blog in the entire net-o-sphere to have a babe posted in the "my picture" slot instead of some fat ugly nerdy guy.

Hooray!

So it's only fair that our Sidebar Babes FINALLY get their own categlory.  Since you guys are so good at guessing who they are (sometimes I don't even know) *You* can guess their identities as they are posted.  This first one is easy...  cheating is allowed.
