PITTSBURGH, PA – Archivists sifting through possessions of the late Andy Warhol have found a signed photo of a naked Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis!
Hired by the Andy Warhol Foundation, they have spent six years cataloging and photographing every item the famous artist left behind. Warhol was known for avidly collecting every day items he came in contact with. In 1973, he began filling up and taping shut boxes, and shipping them to a storage facility in New Jersey.
It is these 177 boxes the archivists have been sifting through, averaging anywhere from 400 to 1,200 items a box.
While many odd items have been found, the most suprising was an autographed naked photo of former First Lady Jackie Onassis! In 1971, Onassis was secretly photographed by paparazzi while she was sunbathing. The photos landed in the hands of Larry Flynt, who printed them in the August 1975 issue of Hustler magazine.
Seemingly as a joke, Onassis signed a poster version of the picture with, “For Andy, with enduring affection, Jackie Montauk”, and sent it to the artist. The archivists have since found that the signature matches her writing.
It is doubtful the poster will end up as an “Object of the Week”, which the team will start blogging in September. But readers can expect to see such items as a mummified foot of an ancient Egyptian and a Ramones’ 45 record signed by lead singer Joey Ramone!

Yeah…they just wanted to draw attention to a real First Lady and try to put HER down after death so we could get the attention off the newest First [ahem] Lady, Ms. 40 oz and a Blue Light Special outfit. Seems most people would like the newest First Lady [term used lightly as it barely fits] to go nude so it would save taxpayers $. Personally, I'd like to see Michelle Obama dressed better, to show a little style and class, because as a First Lady she's representing our entire country, know that's a big concept for some people but hey, that's just me and I'm entitled to my opinion. All you haters that don't like my opinion can stuff it! I'm not a sheep, I have a mind AND I use it for what I want to think, not what YOU tell me is okay to think! But you're welcome to take all the pot shots you want.

Think? You sound like a rascist b*tch to me!
August 29th, 2009 at 2:29 am
Hmmm…. one could argue that the difference between a $20,000 dress and $540 tennis shoes is not one of realness but of class. None of them are real man.

That was senseless, I have no idea what you are getting at
August 31st, 2009 at 10:16 pm
Hmmm. Amusing perspective. I can tell you from first hand knowledge Ms. Obama is considered very fashionable and quite stunning by the fashion set in other countries. But you do sound like quite the world traveler and a highly educated one at that, based on your exemplary command of written English.

You wrote: "I'm not a sheep, I have a mind AND I use it for what I want to think, not what YOU tell me is okay to think! But you're welcome to take all the pot shots you want."
I'm betting that you probably resemble a sheep (and perhaps a fat one, at that), sitting at your PC eating a 2 lb. box of chocolate candy, and wishing to God above that you had the First Lady's figure (and class), so you could wear the clothes she looks so great in. Laura Bush knew better than to wear anything but a dress, simply because her figure won't work in anything else. It is obvious that you can't see further than your own bigoted and opinionated nose.
Get off your high horse and get a life.

You are retardeder than Glenn Beck. More retardeder.

I'll bet you are from texas, because you fit a very popular saying in that area, you are "all hat and no cattle", I'll bet you have heard that before, right????

I really enjoy that this guy just decided he needed to defend himself with "I have a mind!" and "I'm not a sheep!" before anyone had even opened up debate. Didn't it occur to you that that shows either a lack of surety in your beliefs or a fear of real discussion? Or maybe both?
And really, buddy… "Ms. 40 oz. and a Blue Light Special outfit"? The woman is well-educated, powerful, and by any legitimate definition, a lady. And you're apparently just a racist.
And don't worry, you're entitled to you own opinion, yadda yadda yadda… just know most people, regardless of opinion, know a fool when they see one.

Hey Poopy,
"Retardeder" is that a real word? You're the last one to be calling anyone “retarded." (I'd say that you are an illiterate.) You're also a vile bigot assuming you meant "mentally retarded" in describing "signofthetimes" and Glenn Beck. No one uses the term "retarded[eder]" except for skateboarders that have fallen on their heads one too many times. As an aside to most all of the responders to the post by "signofthetimes" no one is a racist simply because they disagree with FLOTUS Mobama's fashion sense. But really "signofthetimes" the reference to "Ms. 40 oz" was uncalled for and not demonstrative of someone that claims to allegedly "have a mind AND…use it…to think." More on point, Jackie K.O. looked pretty hot in the censored picture. It begs the question as to why Jack Kennedy needed to chase so many skirts. Well, I guess some guys have something to prove.

Actually, Hoover had film of Jackie and Bobby having sex, but Clyde Tolson either destroyed it or hid it very well..

Jackie O was a real lady and michele Obama is just trying to be as much of one as kackie was the 2 of them the president and the first lady are trying to imitate the Kennedies they actualy think they are like them and they are not even close.
February 9th, 2010 at 2:13 pm
Really? Your actually going to call some stupid for saying retardeder adn more retardeder? You honestly think that poopy thought those were the correct words? I definitely nominate you to be the most retartedest of all.
