The golden age of arcade and video game advertising is such a fertile period for unabashedly sexy and blatantly sexist ads that we’re back with a fourth installment of material. This is starting to become the Friday the 13th of the Starfire Lounge, with sequel after sequel. Honestly, I wouldn’t be surprised if I got … Continue reading The Art of the Ad: Sex, Lies, and Video Games, Part IV
Late last year, I was formulating a series of posts on the Hollywood archetype known as “The Bombshell.” Well, those posts haven’t come to published fruition yet. While we wait for them to (hopefully) appear at some point, let’s get a teaser taste (of cheesecake?) by turning this Random Image post over to Bombshells. Diana … Continue reading Random Image Dump #15: Bombshells Edition
Earlier this year we lost the beautiful Jane Birkin. In this photo, she’s positively radiant. More recently, we lost the talented, sexy, and lovable comedic actor and businesswoman extraordinaire, Suzanne Somers. Absolutely killer movie poster art by Bruce Timm for Dracula A.D. 1972. Timm (Batman: The Animated Series and Mad Love) expertly captures the feel … Continue reading Random Image Dump #14
When it comes to minutes of screen time versus lasting impact, few horror movie characters make as much out of limited opportunities as the deliciously sassy tramp Eileen does in David Schmoeller’s excellent cult classic, Tourist Trap (1979). Eileen isn’t as charmed by old codger Mr. Slausen’s hick appeal as her friends are. Okay, okay, … Continue reading Bad Girls We Love: Eileen from Tourist Trap

Black and white always conveys a certain vintage appeal, while also feeling utterly timeless. Susanna Hoffs: Huge crush. I repeat: HUGE. Writer Alan Moore and artist Bill Sienkiewicz: comic book royalty. Maria always got … Continue reading Random Image Dump #13
I watch a lot of movies, but only write about a fraction of them. Plus I keep writing about Michelle Pfeiffer’s movies over and over again, so there’s only so much time for other stuff! So I thought it might be fun to do a bunch of short reviews for the movie I’ve been watching … Continue reading What I’ve Been Watching
We’re back with a third installment of shamelessly sexy vintage video game and arcade game ads. Marketers produced so many of these from the 1970s through 1990s that there’s enough for future installments, too. As I’ve said before, it was a very different time. Game makers knew their target audience—adolescent boys and young men—and understood … Continue reading The Art of the Ad: Sex, Lies, and Video Games, Part III
