The title of this post will get me a lot of unwanted search engine hits, no doubt. Oh well, I couldn't resist.

This glorious shot of notorious "It" girl, Clara Bow from the 1927 film, Hula [Link], comes to you courtesy of the orangeguru [Link], who is slowly but surely being assimilated into tiki culture, thanks to my relentless efforts at brainwashing him. You can see a clip from the film at YouTube [Link], but unfortunately, it doesn't have Clara doin' her grass-skirt thing. Here's a shot of her from the film playing ukulele [Link], and another of her floating nekkid in a pond [Link]. Hubba Hubba!

Clara definitely pushed the envelope of propriety in pre-Code Hollywood, both on celluloid and in her personal life, and she was accused in the gossip rags of sleeping with anything that moved. At one point, rumor had it that she was providing her sexual favors to the entire USC football team...a rumor debunked by Snopes.[Link]
