The Classic Red Bathing Suit

[Jangler]

I guess some of us might not even remember how popular this poster was. I never had it, my poster of the 70's was Adrienne Barbeau, but i did name my long hair guinea pig Farrah....

do people even do this anymore? i remember being a kid in the early 90s and house hunting with my parents and we walked into a bedroom decked out with posters like that. vividly burnt into my eight year old brain was this chick wearing only suspenders and a daisy coming out from between her asscheeks. it made quite an impression.

but all grown up i never met anyone who did that. generational thing? died with the internet?

Fast Times at Ridgemont High was the first movie I ever saw on HBO after 8pm when I snuck downstairs while the parents were sleeping. That image will always be burned into my little 8 year old brain.

When I was eight, my brother in law had a bathroom full of posters including Farrah Fawcett, Adrienne Barbeau, Raquel Welch and others.

When I visited my sister's house, I had to use the bathroom a lot.

The net for sure cut into that. Think about it. Facebook has a "wall". No difference.

My brother's and i were sports and sci fi stuff but not real poster people. We might have stickers of teams or cool gear stuff.

Of course sharing a room cuts down on overall decor. Lol

I don't know if they still do it anymore, but it was big in the 70s & 80s. My brothers bedroom was wall to wall, including the ceiling, with Kiss posters.
