Jayne Mansfield Websites

Here is a list of some really great Jayne Mansfield websites which I love to follow and I would recommend to other fans.

The Jayne Mansfield Online Fan Club
This is a really great site for Jayne lovers. It was created in 1998 by my friend, Kimmie Rosenthal, and is still going strong. This site is much more impressive than the official Jayne Mansfield page which has not been updated in a very long time. Kimmie still runs the page today on her own. The impressive web design is thanks to talented Damien Santroni. I would have to say that the Jayne Mansfield Online Fan Club website is my favorite Jayne Mansfield site, I even prefer it more than my own. It is a wonderful website and Kimmie has done a fantastic job at keeping Jayne's memory alive by providing us fans with this beautiful site.

Jayne Mansfield House of Love
This is a fan blog dedicated to Jayne and it is run by a very close friend of mine from Sweden. Regularly posted on this blog is photographs, links, articles, artwork, interviews, quotes etc. Another great fan site working to keep Jayne's memory alive and helping to give other fans the latest Jayne updates.

Jayne Mansfield Forum
The Jayne Mansfield's proboard's forum is now the only forum dedicated to Jayne Mansfield in use. I find it a little bit sad as there was once quite a few Jayne forums to chat in. I think the reason being for the closure of the other forums is because there are some people who like to come along and give others a hard time on places such as this and that is not the reason for a forum. In my opinion the proboards forum is doing nicely these days. At the moment there is no one on there causing drama or trouble for the fans who only want to talk about Jayne.

Jayne Mansfield on VK
Here is a Russian Social Networking site dedicated to Jayne Mansfield. There are hundreds of photos in the albums, none of which are new to me but it is still a nice site and worth checking out if you have not seen it before.

Jayne Mansfield at Michael Nagro Official Photographers Page
More than 500 images taken of Jayne while in Las Vegas by photographer Michael Nagro. I love that there are no watermarks all over these images so we get to appreciate the full glory of Jayne's Las Vegas Show in these images.

La Vie En Rose De Jayne Mansfield
A French blog dedicated to Jayne Mansfield. While it does not get updated too often it is still a nice contribution to the Jayne Mansfield online world.

Find A Death - Jayne Mansfield
I remember this site being one of the very first websites I came across with the real hard facts on Jayne's passing. It has been around for years and still has the same old dreary looking web design. Don't take this page too seriously folks, it's just for a bit of hard facts. And for anyone wondering, that pink suitcase is not Jayne's, I posted about it once a long time ago when I did not know the source. Find-a-death names the source and it comes from a known fraudulent seller.

Tumblr
Lastly I wanted to mention Tumblr, there are quite a lot of Jayne Manfield photo blogs on Tumblr so I won't mention them all. They are easy to find when doing Jayne searches on Tumblr. In fact when I very first started the Jaynie's Pink Palace Blog a few years back it was on tumblr. I prefer the non photo orientated blogs with information and links hence why I moved to blogger instead. I do my own photo searches often and there is very rarely unseen photos for me on Tumblr. However it is still an interesting place to check out for Jayne Mansfield love. I think these sites are great as they are aimed at people only just discovering Jayne.
You can tag all kinds of captions to the Jayne images (ie Vintage, 50's, pinup etc) and it broadens the audience and is a great way at bringing in new admirers.
