IT'S NOT THE WEATHER THAT'S SULTRY


MISS MONITOR.

This is the first in a series of dedications to Weather Reporters (or weathermen/ women) who for some reason or another brought something special to their local weather report.

Tedi Thurman or "Miss Monitor" started out as a model and not a Weather Girl, her first shoot landed her the front cover of US Vogue in the early 50's.  She became one of the most recognised radio voices in America, best known for her sultry, seductive live broadcasts of the upcoming weather. Her character "Miss Monitor" was seen in the 1957 Dean Martin Flick "Ten Thousand Bedrooms" where she seductively introduces ole Deano. (watch here)

Columnist Alice Hughes described her appearance:
She's 5-feet-7, weight 115, sea-blue eyes, long loosely combed red hair and a 33-21-33 figure. Ingredients like hers can turn the morning dew into a monsoon. (source: wikipedia)
Visit the "Miss Monitor" tribute page where you can listen to her sultry weather report recorded during the 1950's.

Miss Monitor, Wet & Wendy salutes you.
