For the very first #DriveInMob and #Bond_age_ Crossover event we chose the Murderer’s Row Live Tweet. #DriveInMob had done Matt Helm before, but not Murderer’s Row. So because I thought it was the best of the Helms… well, it had to be done. Dean Martin just oozes cool all over the screen and when you pair Dean Martin’s booze and turtlenecks with Ann-Margaret’s chicken dress and 10-lb. eyelashes, you get the Murderer’s Row Live Tweet Session. #Bond_age_ Impostor #4 did not let us down.
INITIATE THE MURDERER’S ROW LIVE TWEET SESSION
Recently, @TeleportCity wrote a 4-part series on #MattHelm: http://t.co/Q4G56Eq2XY
