It's the dog days of summer 2023, why not go back to the days of the 70's, of inflation, gas lines, Jimmy Carter ineptness, and the posters of beautiful women.

Farrah had the biggest seller, with Cheryl Tiegs being a rival, also Addrienne Barbeau was in the running.

Mods pull at your discretion.

At least men were men, and women were women.
I’d take the 70’s over this shitshow every single time.

Her popularity at that point has maybe never been duplicated. She was simply a shooting star. And yet, she was arguably the 3rd most beautiful woman on the cast of Charlies Angels - behind Jacqueline Smith and Cheryl Ladd (who replaced her, but did appear in a few episodes w/ Farrah).

FF was O.K., I think others had considerably more sex appeal though.

We had Natasha Kinski (I think) with a snake on our wall. Farrah was a year or so before my college days.

I was attracted to Addrienne Barbeau, and her, um, assets, until I realized she was well over a FOOT shorter than me.

It was never going to work out. I had to let her go.

Farrah was closer to 5’7” ... Workable, but a younger-looking “older woman.”

Cheryl is 8 years older, same as Farrah. And while most def in the top 10, that wasn’t going to work either.

The most beautiful woman on TV in the 70s was Jan Smithers.

Steve Martin used to do a stand-up routine where he would claim, “Farrah Fawcett never once called me...and after all the time I spent holding her poster up with one hand!”

Comedian/actor/writer/musician Steve Martin went on tour in 1978 in support of his 1977 “Let’s Get Small” album and the 1978 release (and SNL performance of) the single, “King Tut.” He had a joke in that routine about the Farah poster:

“Farah Fawcett is SO STUCK UP! I’ve been famous now for SIX MONTHS and she hasn’t telephoned me even once.”

“And after all the hours I spent holding up her poster (with one hand) .... “

Before internet porn, before any porn was widely available...this kind of picture was a gateway to fantasy.

I had the Adrienne Barbeau poster in the purple. My roommate in college had a 6 foot poster of Farrah on our dorm wall.
