According to Mickey Hargitay in 'Jayne Mansfield's Wild wild world' the cherry blossom festival took place in Brooklyn, the day after Mae West had warned him to stay away from Jayne. Mickey was there to witness Jayne crowned the Cherry blossom Queen. The very next morning photographs of Jayne and Mickey were all over the press. Mae West threatened Mickey with 'Give up the Cherry Blossom queen or else'. We all know the story that comes next. Mickey refused to do so and declared at a press hearing that Mae had called that he was in love with Jayne when he was supposed to say it was all for publicity. Mickey got punched in the face by one of Mae's body guards. The camera's were there to catch it all.
Anyways, here are some rare unpublished photo's of Jayne at the Cherry Blossom Festival. Mickey is no where to be seen in these images.
