It's a Jayne, Jayne, Jayne, Jayne world; new this week at the buffet...

Freshly uploaded to the menu this week: two films that feature the fabulously foxy female form of the infamous Miss Jayne Mansfield - Dog Eat Dog! and The Wild, Wild World Of Jayne Mansfield.

As a side dish may we suggest these five fun factoids about one of our favorite femme fatales:

* She was the first well known American actress to appear nude in a mainstream American film (in 1963's "Promises! Promises!") and is #3 on Dian Hanson's list of the top five American covergirls in The History Of Men's Magazines.

* She was born in Bryn Mawr Pennsylvania, located a scant few miles from the BMB / SCR / C14 compound.

*She has been immortalized in song by a host of different bands, among them British goth rockers Siouxsie and the Banshees, American glam rockers LA Guns and Japanese garage rockers The 5,6,7,8's.

* She was linked to, and rumored to have dated, Church Of Satan founder Anton La Vey.

* During the late '50s, the front bumpers of some American made cars came with extensions that resembled the "bullet bras" of the period. Soon after their introduction, these extensions bcame known as "Jayne Mansfields."
