Season of the Witch: Morgan, Redux

Oh, Fairchild! Morgan Fairchild’s 1981 photoshoot for NBC is a Halloween classic. Dressed as a sexy witch, Morgan posed seductively against a gorgeous pumpkin-orange backdrop dotted with kinda cute, but kinda creepy smiling black cat faces.

Autumnal

Celebrating the first full day of the best season of the year. This photoshoot with UK model Ella Rose from 2012 perfectly captures the sort of chilly, cozy autumnal vibe that defines the season.

Bombshells: Franca Gondolfi

I recently stumbled on these fabulous images of the striking Italian actress, showgirl, and singer Franca Gondofli and, after picking my jaw up from the floor, immediately looked her up online.

I dream about sex, flying, and being chased by Nazis. Margot Kidder, “The Education of Margot Kidder, Rolling Stone, 1981. Picture it: The early 1980s, somewhere in the sprawling suburbs of America. You’re just a geeky kid, reading Batman comic books and playing with Dukes of Hazzard action figures. Over the next few years you’ll … Continue reading Margot →

Bombshells: Joey Heatherton

Pneumatic sex symbol Joey Heatherton shows us what “NSFW” really means. Long Island born Davenie Johanna "Joey" Heatherton is a singer, dancer, actress and, above all else, a true sex symbol. Her IMDb bio refers to the bodacious babe as “pneumatic” and that ain’t lying. Heatherton’s film and music careers never quite reached the dizzying … Continue reading Bombshells: Joey Heatherton →
