Quite often these days the sisterhood is apparently more valued for their chi-chi flashing, Valium-popping, vodka-chugging, PVC-wearing, sex-tape-making, tragically self-obsessive ways than having, you know, something else going for them. Even though back in the day the likes of Marilyn Monroe, Jane Russell, Brigitte Bardot and Jayne Mansfield were considered a little on the ho side, they did it with a lot more class and swagger than Aubrey O'Day, who basically oils herself up to go to the milk bar.

No doubt there are PLENTY of ladies that rock our socks until we're barefoot (We're looking at you, Zooey Deschanel) but we thought it'd be an interesting little experiment to compare the classic beauties of yesteryear with the home-brand version of today.

PS. I still love you, Coco. Sorry for implying you're a whore.
