Fantastic Femmes--Ola Ray

Former Playboy PlayMate Ola Ray is best-known for her scream-queen performance in the groundbreaking Michael Jackson video Thriller, but she also did several movies, including genre flix, during her too-brief showbiz career.
Today, she's a stay-at-home mom raising a teen-age daughter.
Ola recently sued Michael Jackson for unpaid royalties from Thriller. (The video's co-writer / director, John Landis, is also suing for the same reason)

Genre appearances include...
Thriller (Michael's Girl)
Beverly Hills Cop II (PlayMate)
Night Stalker aka Man Who Could Not be Killed
(Sable Fox)
Note: this is NOT Kolchak: the Night Stalker
AutoMan "Murder MTV" (Joanne)
Fear City (Honey)
10 to Midnight (Ola)

Note: normally, I post a couple of large pix for a Fantastic Femme entry, but most of the Ola Ray shots I have are from her Playboy shoot, and unusable in a G-rated blog!
If you want to see them, you'll have to Google them... ;-)

We're BACK on FaceBook!

A couple of years ago, we set up shop on FaceBook.
Shortly after that, we suffered a major hard-drive crash.
Though we had done weekly backups, the crash occurred after our last backup, and our FaceBook info was lost.
Attempts to retrieve the passwords via FaceBook's help (and, I use the word loosely) pages were futile.
So the page lay unchanged for a couple of years, though people tended to find it when Googling "Atomic Kommie"
Now, at long last, were back up and running on a NEW FaceBook page!
Stop by and BookMark it!
We'll be adding to it often.
(And please be gentle, we're newbs at this!) ;-)

Note: Because of demand, We're leaving our 2nd Design of the Week (The Dillinger is Coming! design) up for another week!
