Wednesday is St. Patrick's Day. Personally it's not a holiday I really celebrate despite having a little Irish heritage, still I thought I'd make a post about some Old Hollywood stars posing for the camera with a St. Patrick's Day backdrop. If you celebrate I hope you enjoy the day!  Ava Gardner popping out of a four leaf clover.  Doris Day sitting behind a 3 (?) leaf clover Ann Sheridan with an clover headpiece.  Maureen O'Hara posing in a four leaf clover top hat.  Original Cast of The Little Rascals posing with canes and pipes.  Mia Farrow posing with a four leaf clover.  Until Next Time, Ashley A. 

March 12th is National Girl Scout Day. The Girl Scouts have been around since 1912 and during that time many famous women from actresses to activists and politicians have all been a girl scout.

Also if you are able to support this wonderful organization please do Girl Scouts has all the info you need and even ways to buy cookies!  Gloria Steinem Bette Davis Grace Kelly Mary Tyler Moore Debbie Reynolds Until Next Time, Ashley A.
