They went on a couple of dates and rumors of marriage ... we all know the rest of the story!

They made a handsome couple -- I didn't know they had dated. They seem quite charmed by each other.

Thanks for sharing these photos, Erik.

Your Welcome P.T. and I'm not going to do anymore pictures for my Christmas Special because of the treatment that I get from our Staff here and they seems do not care about me anymore.

So, this is my last post on this site and saying good-bye and farewell.

Not what I want see Rita, I for one will miss you.

Hi Erik, of course I'm sorry to hear about your leaving the site. In fact I wish you would reconsider,
It would be sad not to gaze at those brilliant Rita Hayworth images when I'm in the mood.
In the meantime I wish you the best of luck in your endeavors, Take care, Erik and Happy Holidays,
Regards
Joe
