This colossal meta/photo blog is mostly about the history of Catwoman (aka Selina Kyle). Plus some neat and groovy retro/vintage stuff!
There have been several versions of Catwoman's original story. In Year One Selina Kyle is shown as a prostitute working in East End of Gotham City.
Some Darwyn Cooke styling thoughts for Selina Kyle when he was drawing the comic.You really need to embiggen to see his notes. Notice on the mid right the “no f-me pumps.”
Although originally introduced as an equal opponent for Batman, Selina Kyle/Catwoman's status as hero or villain is ambiguous; Catwoman has her own moral code and has occasionally teamed up with Batman and other heroes against greater threats
Selina Kyle, Catwoman's alter ego was not used in the Batman TV series.
Julie Newmar was replaced by Lee Meriwether (with Hecat) as Catwoman. Before playing the role she was best known for being Miss America of 1955 but the Batman Movie was really her first major on screen performance. After her appearance as Catwoman she had great success as an actress
Eartha Kitt took over the role of Catwoman for the third and final season of Batman. Eartha brought a more serious and ruthless Catwoman to the series. Creepy Eartha Kitt lacked Newmar's statuesque sexiness, nethertheless the usual romance between Catwoman and Batman was missed, in part, probably due to Eartha Kitts's race. "We felt it was a very provocative idea," recalled producer Charles FitzSimons about executive producer Bill Dozier's selection of Eartha Kitt as Catwoman; "She was a cat woman before we ever cast her as Catwoman. She had a cat-like style. Her eyes were cat-like and her singing was like a meow. This came as a wonderful off-beat idea to do it with a black woman."
Eartha Kitt was at a luncheon with First Lady Johnson when she spoke out about the youth of that time. "The children of America are not rebelling for no reason", she started. "You are sending off the best of this country to get shot and maimed. No wonder the kids rebel and take pot". Her statement drove the downfall of her career.

THE NYLON STOCKING RIOTS OF 1946!
When the war ended and Dupont was allowed to make nylons again, In ONE DAY 4 million pairs were sold. In one city, 40,000 women got in line to purchase an inventory of 13,000 pairs. Fights broke out. Black Friday for Black Stockings! Women were literally putting their lives on the line for leg lines, and it was national. I've found articles reporting riots all over the country. One of the worst was when an airplane dropped coupons for a free pair over Times Square.
