Hot Shots of the Week: Get Outta My Dreams, Get into My Car

In 2015, actress and singer Kayslee Collins posed with a classic Jaguar for a high-octane Playboy photoshoot. With Collins doing a retro, Marilyn Monroe thing—platinum blonde hair and seductively parted cherry-red lips— these photos should come with the warning label, “Danger: Flammable.” The 5’9”, absurdly leggy Collins gives new meaning to the phrase “legs for … Continue reading Hot Shots of the Week: Get Outta My Dreams, Get into My Car →

A friend and neighbor handed down her sons’ Seuss books to me when I was just a toddler and I adored those stories, and especially because my mother read them to me and used different voices for different characters. So, along with comic … Continue reading Reading is Fundamental →

Lost and Found: Gas Pump Girls

In the grand tradition of horny teen sex comedies, Gas Pump Girls (1979) pads the running time with cheap gags and copious nudity—not that there’s anything wrong with that! It also boasts a familiar plot this sort of movie, with a band of plucky underdogs going up against a (supposedly) heartless corporate overlord. For all … Continue reading Lost and Found: Gas Pump Girls →
