Daily Mail – Frank Sinatra obsessively took 12 showers a day, his widow has revealed.  Barbara Sinatra said the Ol’ Blue Eyes crooner hated feeling dirty so he washed over and over again.  She said: ‘He was a guy who took about 12 showers a day. I mean, he was neat.  ‘He always smelled of lavender.’  Barbara was married to American film star Zeppo Marx when they first met and in her telling, it was Sinatra, then in his mid-50s, who initiated their long-term affair.  His famously feisty mother, Dolly, was not pleased with their liaison and subsequent marriage, and asked him: ‘Aren’t there enough whores around?’  Barbara also told how she wouldn’t want to deal with the mercurial star if he was drinking gin.  ‘I don’t know that I handled his moods. I lived with them,’ she told Good Morning America.  ‘He could be moody. I didn’t want to be around him if he drank gin.’

Of course Sinatra took 12 showers a day, that’s 1 for each dame he banged behind his wife’s back.    The lavender part I don’t know anything about but I believe the 12 showers a day.    According to the article, here was Sinatra’s basic schedule: bang, shower, gin, croon.   Bang, shower, gin, croon.   It’s like the original Jersey GTL.   Maybe throw in a quick trip to the Sahara for dice games with Sammy and Dino, but that was pretty much it.  Not a bad life for an Italian kid from Hoboken who just wanted a shot at the big time.   PS  - What do you think Sinatra sang in the shower?   Like this morning I belted out “New York, New York” because I found out the Yankees were back in first place, some days it’s “My Way”, some days it’s “Lady Is A Tramp”.    I guess Frank probably sang his own songs right?  He’s the fucking Chairman of the Board.  No way he’s singing anything by anybody else.
