Lombard Cup Winners for Week 1

A pretty amazing week one for The Lombard Cup. Sadly only one member from my team made it to Round 2, but I knew I’d be facing an uphill battle. Let’s look at who won this week! Remember, next week’s voting will take place over at All Good Things!

62cd0-tumblr_me0ipqpmb81r1xgcfo1_500 — Veronica Lake was no match for Carole Lombard (sad!). Carole won a whopping 37 to 7.

4f319-rosalind_russell_photo_usailgl-sized — Rosalind Russell was another huge winner, trouncing Cyd Charisse 34 to 10

The battle of the Jones' was a squeaker but Shirley Jones slinked past Jennifer Jones, 25 to 19 — The battle of the Jones’ was a squeaker but Shirley Jones slinked past Jennifer Jones, 25 to 19

This was a shocker as I had no faith that Jean Harlow would dominate the immortal Marilyn Monroe, but she did and ended up beating Monroe 26 to 18

Well, at least Rita made it. The lovely Rita Hayworth of Team Veronica cinched a victory against Greta Garbo, 26 to 18

That’s all for round 1. I’ll see you guys again during round 3. In the meantime, head over to All Good Things and vote Team Veronica!
