I am a fan of Esther Williams....hey who isn't!!! Even Mike Myers was enamored. Luckily Turner Classic Movies is releasing the first volume in a series of Esther's movies. They are available for pre-order on TCM, or you can try Amazon too. :)

I can see the flowered swim caps and Cole/Catalina/Jantsen swimsuits now.

Excellent!! Thanks for the "heads-up".
