Propaganda
Tita Merello (Mercado De Abasto, La Morocha, Amorina)— Was she pretty? Probably not. Was she hot? Incredibly so. She said it herself: "I was seen as ugly... Then I realized you don't need to be pretty. It's enough just to act like you are". With a highly recognizable voice and manner (which immortalized her in countless drag shows, just look her up performing "Se Dice De Mí"!), she was THE Argentinean icon during the fifties. As with so many artists she began with really humble origins (she didn't learn to read until she was in her twenties), and she was one of the few that kept truly being humble and thankful for all the luck she had and everything she worked so hard for. Despite being a proper diva Tita was a woman of the people first and foremost, portraying almost exclusively working-class women who by the strength of their determination and guts manage to keep themselves afloat in all manners of difficult situations. She openly talked about her uterine cancer at a time it was considered taboo, had the sharpest wittiest tongue in the business, was a greatly renowned performer and comedian, was notably kind to everyone who ever worked with her, but was also very much famous for taking no shit... She feared nobody but God and even that might be debatable.
Natalie Wood (West Side Story, The Great Race)—She went through so much shit which I know can be said for all these women but Natalie really was a star and her death often overshadows her career and life. She could make you cry, but she also had the capacity to be incredibly funny which I think is lost on people.
This is round 3 of the tournament. All other polls in this bracket can be found here. Please reblog with further support of your beloved hot sexy vintage woman.

Vera-Ellen (On the Town, White Christmas)— she's a phenomenal and charismatic dancer, I'd say UNMATCHED in terms of movement. She's just hypnotizing, so sharp and musical and she always looks like shes having so MUCH FUN! Furthermore she has a beautiful smile and a silliness/playfulness to her acting I love. Her real life story is somewhat sad and the death of her daughter kept her from blowing up as a bigger star, but the delight she brings to the movies she was in is so memorable!

Tita Merello:
Vera-Ellen:
Have you seen her dance!? Right up there with Grace Kelly for grace and beauty and her tap performances can be jaw dropping.
Her dancing skills are so impressive it makes me forget how to speak. She moves like she’s made out of elastic, and she looks good doing it. Also she has great chemistry with Danny Kaye (RIP to the men’s bracket, he was gone too soon) and is just… stunning. Deserves to be known for way more but sadly she had a pretty tough life. But she was so so talented, and I love her.
youtube
Her dancing with Danny Kaye in White Christmas is absolutely wonderful.
vera-ellen is one of the most technically skilled dancers to EVER dance, according to fred astaire and others. she had the most beautiful voice, she was incredibly hard working, she was a ROCKETTE at one point AND was on broadway for several years before doing movies and later tv. she was rumored to be dealing with mental health issues her whole life, and she still managed to come out on top. overall an incredible career. and oh my god ladies. her legs. her control. she’s so delicate and lovely whenever she dances, it’s absolutely incredible. she’s always so light on her feet. i could watch her dance forever.
youtube
amazing dancer, down to earth vibes onscreen, such a talent
Extremely underappreciated today but she was one of the best dancers in Hollywood's classic era.
she's lip synching here but i think it conveys the hotness:
youtube
Best known for her dancing and Barbie-doll figure. She was briefly a Rockette but was fired for standing out too much. She danced with both Fred Astaire and Gene Kelly, and showed off her comedic chops in White Christmas with Danny Kaye. She said dancing for her was like breathing; if she stopped it’d be “very bad”.
I was quite literally floored as a child when I found out Vera Ellen wasn’t a bigger star considering her in White Christmas was a huge part of my bi awakening- gorgeous and talented!

Friend, I'd love for you to answer ANY of those questions! Answer any one or two you want (but I'm partial to 4 and 5, if you need a nudge!) 💕
!! Okay I can answer some of them! Let's start with those you're partial to!
(For anyone wondering: here's the ask list)
4. favourite dish specific for your country?
Okay so this is kind of hard because I like food?? so much?? I love empanadas, mostly the santiagueña variation (it's the one my aunt does and she is an amazing cook). For sweet things, Argentinean pastries in general unless they have custard cream lol, I'm partial to butter medialunas (smaller and sweeter than croissants but similar in shape), tortitas negras (they have black sugar on top, hence the name), cañoncitos (they are filled with dulce de leche) and anything with quince jam on top (I want some pastries now....)
5. favourite song in your native language?
This is even harder than answering the other question because I listen to so many different genres ;;w;; I'll just recommend some songs I particularly like, even if they are not Argentinean, they are in Spanish!
No llora - Cuarteto de Nos (Uruguayan band)
Tiburones en el bosque - Cuarteto de Nos
Zamba de mi esperanza (Argentinean zamba)
Un ángel para tu soledad - Patricio Rey y sus Redonditos de Ricota (Argentinean rock band)
Caña seca y un membrillo - Patricio Rey y sus Redonditos de Ricota
Tu misterioso alguien - Miranda (Argentinean pop band)
El arte de recuperarte - Miranda
Un candombe para Gardel - Rubén Rada (Uruguayan singer)
Se dice de mí - Tita Merello (Argentinean tango and milonga singer)
Welp, I put mostly Argentinean and Uruguayan songs this time! I can also recommend listening to songs from Juan Luis Guerra (Dominican singer) for a different type of music! I love a lot of his songs
A couple of bonus answers!
2. do you prefer spending your holidays in your country or travel abroad?
To be fair, I've only been abroad like... twice in my life. And it was nice, I had fun! but Argentina is so full of wonderful things I have yet to visit! and there are so many places I have and loved and would return to! So I guess the answer is: I would like to travel and get to see several places abroad, but I would love to do it while alternating with places here I haven't seen yet
26. does your nationality get portrayed in Hollywood/American media? what do you think about the portrayal?
Very occasionally and every time I've seen it, they got it completely wrong. And I have been pissed off every single time
29. does your region/city have a beef with another place in your country?
It would be more accurate to ask which part of the country my city DOESN'T have beef with.... 😅
Thank you for asking! if there is another question in particular you want me to answer, feel free to send me more asks!

Leo los anons y es como que me sorprende pero no, tengo miles de anécdotas la verdad. Hasta dentro de las familias es terrible, eso de ciertos familiares que no aparecen en la historia familiar, etc. Cuando nació mi bisabuela el doctor le dijo a mi tatarabuelo "te salió una gitana" porque era más morocha, pelo enrulado y de ojos negros... Después les mismes hermanes la jodian diciéndole 'negra pelo'????... ah... Después le tuvieron altos celos porque fue la primera de sus hermanas en casarse (tenía alto levante encima je), tenía tremenda personalidad, era hermosísima, cantaba tango, Tita Merello 2 bue
Dioooos!!! Que espanto! Mí familia está llena de esos. Hay una anécdota de mis abuelos, que cuando volvieron de su luna de miel mí bisabuela estaba espantada porque mí abuela se había bronceado un montón, y mí abuelo responde "viste? Es contagioso." Un capo mí abuelo se la pasaba lidiando con la familia racista de mí abuela. Eran españoles encima, siempre viene de ahí... 🙄
