If there’s one cause that’s near and dear to my heart, it’s The Funk. So understandably I was filled with immense sorrow when I heard that Dr. Funkenstein himself, George Clinton, needed $50,000 to save his studio. And then I was filled with even more immense sorrow when I realized that George Clinton doesn’t have $50,000.

This delicious little story is like something out of Gatsby — if The Great Gatsby was kind of trashy and a bit of a douchbag. We’ve got a bevy of supermodels, a Greek billionaire heir, a Roitfeld, an entitled prince of a sovereign city-state, $500 bottles of vodka, and a chivalrous “man of the people” trapped in the middle of it all.

The bombshell is a creature at one with her sexuality — a lady, never a tramp, who uses her feminine wiles to seduce, control and if she so chooses, destroy. She’ll easily walk the fine line between good girl and trashbag and openly flirt with the dichotomy of Madonna and whore — and I’m not talking about that whore, Madonna. The bomnbshell is not merely a pretty face or a rockin’ bod — she’s a force to be reckoned with. It takes a little work, but anyone can learn the art of bombshelling. Just take a tip or three from the iconic bombshells of yore in these twelve classics films.
