A few new Mabel pictures...

The pictures aren't great, and don't show the size difference but she's probably 8lbs heavier and a couple of inches taller. We're thinking she might be about as tall as she will get now. The other pictures are in the album, don't know if the camera has a "blue eye" setting.

Description

Direct from a record-breaking run in London's West End, THE RAT PACK brilliantly recreates the ultimate meeting of three legendary performers.

In 1960, while filming the casino robbery caper Ocean's Eleven in Las Vegas, Frank Sinatra got together a group of his closest buddies for impromptu concerts at the Sands Hotel. The Sands is no longer, and Frank, Sammy and Dean have left us, but THE RAT PACK transports you back to that moment in popular music history that has never been equaled.
