ALICE COOPER
School’s Out
1972 Canada pressing
(With panties, white)

Panties! Panties! Everywhere!

“YOU get some panties, and YOU get some panties! You’re all getting PANTIES!” - Oprah Winfrey

Alice Cooper’s transformation over the years has been astonishing.

Only in America can you go from a gothic and theatrical “horror vaudevillian” who used to gargle with vodka in the morning to an elderly golf-playing Republican.

Classic album from a classic dude.

Archival photographs and life story of Evelyn Nesbit during the 1910s

The article presents a curated collection of archival photographs of Evelyn Nesbit, one of early 20th-century America’s most recognizable public figures, alongside a summary of her life during the 1910s. Nesbit, an American artists’ model, chorus girl, and actress, became widely known due to her involvement in the infamous scandal surrounding her husband, Harry Kendall Thaw, and the murder of architect Stanford White in 1906, an event that became known as the “Trial of the Century.” During the 1910s, Nesbit attempted to rebuild her life and identity after being cut off from the Thaw family and facing financial instability. Between 1910 and 1912, she performed on the Keith vaudeville circuit, where her fame often drew larger audiences than her performance skills. In 1913, she formed a successful dancing partnership with Jack Clifford, gaining renewed public attention, especially after Harry Thaw’s escape from a psychiatric institution. In 1914, she published her memoir, “The Story of My Life,” aiming to present her perspective on the scandal that defined her public image. Her personal life remained turbulent: she gave birth to her son Russell William Thaw in 1910, divorced Harry Thaw in 1916, and briefly married Jack Clifford the same year, though he left her by 1918. Toward the end of the decade, she transitioned into silent films, appearing in several productions including “Redemption” (1917), where she acted alongside her son. Despite financial success in entertainment, Nesbit struggled with ongoing financial pressure, addiction to morphine, and alcoholism. The article portrays her as one of America’s earliest modern celebrities, often described as “famous for being famous,” whose life reflected both the glamour and personal costs of early celebrity culture.
