[edit] Gay Icon Project
In my effort to merge the now-deleted list from the article Gay icon to the Gay icons category, I have added this page to the category. I engaged in this effort as a "human script", adding everyone from the list to the category, bypassing the fact-checking stage. That is what I am relying on you to do. Please check the article Gay icon and make a judgment as to whether this person or group fits the category. By distributing this task from the regular editors of one article to the regular editors of several articles, I believe that the task of fact-checking this information can be expedited. Thank you very much. Philwelch 20:45, 24 Mar 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Pin-up
I would certainly like someone to explain to me just how Betty Grables' pin up picture was more popular than Rita Hayworths'. Betty is just standing there in a swim suit looking over her shoulder. Rita is kneeling, in profile, on a bed a rumpled sheets in black lace. Even in 1940's era sexuality; does a pair of legs trump a pair of boobs? Tell me. I want to know.
- I for one have never seen or read a mention of a pin-up of Rita Hayworth. lol. Maybe you Betty's pic was in much better taste than breasts in lacy underwear. The key word is TASTE Dollvalley 15:09, 7 May 2007 (UTC)

- DollValley, you are on Wikipedia! If you are to young to know about the pinup girls of the 40's look it up. Not trying to be a wiseguy, "I'm just sayin'..." --204.96.18.5 14:46, 5 July 2007 (UTC)

- Rita was a huge star of Harry Cohen and she was used by him to promote his studio. Rita was also in a constant war with Cohen and he used to disallow her appearences and engagements in this war. It was especially bad when Rita was married to Orson Wells. Cohen would only permit Hayworth limited exposure to capitalize on her extreme popularity. She was a HUGE star. Grable was the girl next store. In some ways it's the old "Ginger vs Mary Ann" or "Betty vs Veronica" debate. So I can see between Cohen trying limit Hayworth and soldiers wanting "the girl next door," instead of Hayworth's more blantant sexualness, how Grable would be more popular. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 4.142.45.94 (talk) 01:20, 6 February 2008 (UTC)
