Bombshells: Brigitte Bardot

French actress, singer, and animal rights advocate Brigitte Bardot was, quite simply, one of the most iconic sex symbols of the twentieth century—and beyond. She existed in our public consciousness in rarified air space, alongside icons like Marilyn Monroe and Sophia Loren.

The Devil Made Me Do It: Part I

Part one of recollections and remembrances of walking the skeptic’s path. Picture it: the early 1980s, somewhere deep in the leafy suburbs of the northeastern United States. I was a kid going to church semi-regularly with my Catholic parents. This also happened to be the peak years of what became known as the “Satanic Panic.” … Continue reading The Devil Made Me Do It: Part I

It was The Year of Pfeiffer in ‘88, at least in terms of her ascension into the cinematic stratosphere, thanks to meaty roles in three great films: Married … Continue reading Michelle Monday

The Art of the Ad: Nothing Beats Joyce Dewitt’s L’eggs

Jack Tripper (John Ritter) was never wanting for beautiful roommates on Three’s Company, that’s for sure. Chrissy Snow (Suzanne Somers) was the hot and ditzy blonde. Cindy Snow (Jenilee Harrison) was no slouch in the hot blonde bimbo category either. Then there was brainy blonde Terri Alden (Priscilla Barnes), an absolute knockout and, truthfully, the … Continue reading The Art of the Ad: Nothing Beats Joyce Dewitt’s L’eggs
