WHY DOES CARMEN MIRANDA HAVE THAT FRUIT ON TOP OF HER HEAD

That's what I was going to write about this morning, but I lost the picture. It was a good one, too. Because she didn't have that pile of fruit on her hair. Which looked pretty good. Which makes me think that maybe fruit is good for hair thickness.

Another picture which I could capture is the one on the right. I didn't recognize the famous guy until I read the caption. But, he, too is famous for a prop. As well as an advertisement against smoking.

Look at the eyes, if you can't discern his identity. Then add a bunch of wrinkles aided by the many ciggies he has bogied. Ok, I gave it away: Mr. Humphrey Bogart.

From Mick Jagger's lips to Betty Grable's legs, to Beyonce's fanny. I guess they aren't props, but they might as well be. Betty Davis' eyes, some guy (Paul?) on this year's American Idol has the pearly whites. But he moves around so weird in an almost freaky contortion-like drunk walk that I was hoping he would get the hook last night. But if he makes it at all, it will be because of those white teeth.

It seems I've gone from props (without delving into imaginary ones like Johnny Carson's golf swing sans club in hand) to features. From there I could go to expressions--Don Knotts might top the list, followed by Al Bundy, whose real name escapes me at this moment.

So what is it for you and yours? Props, features, expressions ("I kid you not.") or something else that is a combination or something I've overlooked that makes you you?
