It’s a sad day, y’all. Shirley Temple, that curly-topped, tap-dancing, Animal Cracker-singing ingénue, has passed away, leaving a pint-sized hole in the world. (Wait, she grew up to become a full-sized adult? Whatever.)
Bur fear not. If you can't get enough of the Good Ship Lollipop , there are plenty of fan sites and webpages to warm your grieving heart. So make yourself a Dirty Shirley and start lamenting.
Official Shirley Temple Website
True, this looks like it was designed at the same time the Internet was invented, but the soft tones and throwback vibe are somehow fitting for the subject at hand. It’s also your go-to spot for buying Temple-related books, DVD box sets (oh so many DVD box sets…) and more.
This simple site has everything you could want: videos, articles, forums, more. It’s worth it for the polls alone, including the recent “Can you believe she (just) died?” which reveals 100 percent agree with the statement, “What!!! I can’t believe it!”
The Shirley Temple Tumblr Archive
This is exactly what it sounds like: a bunch of OMG-so-adorable photos of the young miss Temple, interspersed with rejoice-worthy gifs.
Shirley Temple, Dolls, and Collectibles [sic]
