Eartha Kitt, sultry singer and dancer, dies at 81

Yep, I know this is kind of dorky, but in my little chubby white girl fantasies I was ALWAYS the Eartha Kitt Cat Woman, never Julie Newmar. G-dspeed Ms Kitt.

NEW YORK— A family friend says Eartha Kitt, a sultry singer, dancer and actress who rose from South Carolina cotton fields to become an international symbol of elegance and sensuality, has died. She was 81.

Andrew Freedman says Kitt died Thursday of colon cancer and was recently treated at Columbia Presbyterian Hospital in New York.

Kitt, a self-proclaimed "sex kitten" famous for her catlike purr, was one of America's most versatile performers, winning two Emmys and getting a third nomination. She also was nominated for two Tony Awards and a Grammy.

Obama "Bat Signal" Appears In Raleigh, NORTH Carolina

Just too cool.

The bat signal is a modified spotlight to project the iconic bat symbol into the sky or onto a building to contact and request the presence of Batman in the case of an emergency. The Obama signal above appears to indicate we are in an emergency and his assistance is needed to get us out of it.

Couple more pics here.

Which Carolina corrected in title, that's what I get for not reading the comments soon enough. And I was sooo good in geography in grade school!! ::sigh::
