Amazing, isn't it? A nice relaxing day at the beach. Regarding the topic: my brother owned his own repair shop. I think those girly calendars are still sold...I see them in shops and some auto parts places (although I think the chain places frown on such things.)
Actually, some of the articles/interviews were pretty good. I remember the one of the late John Madden who was the coach of the Oakland Raiders back in the day. Some of his players were really nuts and played under the influence of drugs. A pic in the article showed a sign on the steps leading to the locker room that said Cheating is Encouraged.
And do remember, if not for the Clinton interview regarding his pot usage, we wouldn’t have known that B. Clinton didn’t inhale.
I had an 8 by 10 photo of the Betty Grabel pin up, whole book of Vargas pinups ( See below), The famous Farrah forcett pin up, plus others, all lost to the fire.
My dad was Sr Vice President of Esquire. I remember the Vargas girls in the magazines and thought they were lovely. But I was quite young and hadn't been liberated.
Yeah, I remember and jealous as hell that these floosies had bigger boobs and rocked a swimsuit better than I.
I wondered who sold more pin-up posters: Marilyn Monroe or Farrah Fawcett. Farrah wins, with sales of that swimsuit poster hitting over 12,000,000 copies (although the US population was 60,000,000 higher in 1976 than is was in Marilyn's time.)
Yes, pin-up girls scantly dressed requiring imagination to undress and pure tobacco cigarettes is why the men were tough and won WW2. Compare that to Vietnam where the boys had nude pin-ups requiring no imagination and were smoking marijuana and we got our asses whipped.
