Come on, everybody, one more time again

Due to glancing childhood exposure to 1960's TV Batman and of course her name, I always took it for granted that Eartha Kitt was a were-cat, but this 1952 photo by Carl Van Vechten makes a really good case for mermaid:



Other things I learned about today from Tumblr include the Sword of Stalingrad (pictured with its silversmith Leslie Durbin, then of the RAF) and Jason deCaires Taylor's The Lost Correspondent (2006). I was also very struck by this shipwreck turning into an island. It appears to be the SS City of Adelaide.

If anyone could pull off being both a were-cat and a mermaid, it'd be Eartha Kitt.

I believe it.

Both. Def both. Eartha Kitt can be whatever she needs to be at the time.

Eartha Kitt can be whatever she needs to be at the time.

This feels extremely true.
