Every man I meet wants to protect me. I can't figure out what from.

In 1926, Mae West wrote, produced and directed the Broadway show, "Sex," which led her to be arrested for obscenity. The following year, her next play, "Drag," was banned on Broadway because its subject matter was homosexuality.

Born on August 17, 1893, Mae West (Mary Jane West ) would become the first :sex clown" on film. Her salacous eye-rolling and thinly veiled inuendo spawned a string of risque comedies in the 1930s. When Mae was only five years old when she began on the vaudevillian stage and by the age of 14 she was being billed as "The Baby Vamp."

West skirted the delicate sensibilities of Hollywood censors with sexual innuendo and double entendre and her witty observations were as widely quoted as Ben Franklin bromides: "It's better to be looked over than overlooked"; "I used to be Snow White but it drifted," etc. Although she cultivated the image of the "tough broad," West always conveyed a curious Victorian innocence coupled with a winking, self-effacing amusement at her own preposterous creation. Her popularity reached such peaks that sailors were inspired to name their inflatable life jackets after her overemphasized 43-inch "assets," ensuring West a place, like no other actress to date, in Webster's Dictionary

Women with "pasts" interest men because men hope that history will repeat itself.

I didn't discover curves; I only uncovered them.

When I'm good I'm very, very good, but when I'm bad, I'm better.

I like a man who's good, but not too good--for the good die young, and I hate a dead one.

Too much of a good thing can be wonderful.

Some women pick men to marry--and others pick them to pieces.

When a girl goes bad--men go right after her.

Good women are no fun... The only good woman I can recall in history was Betsy Ross. And all she ever made was a flag.

Love thy neighbor--and if he happens to be tall, debonair and devastating, it will be that much easier.
