Double Dee Donnerstag with Hugh Hefner

Originally I just wanted to do a short mention of the anniversary of Hugh Hefner´s birth in the bonus section of my spotlight on the Goblin Queen for X - MEN MONTH but then I decided that a man who not only changed my life for the better or the lives of entire generations of men - and women - around the globe but improved humanity itself deserves better.


Now I won´t list all of the women who have been in the pages of PLAYBOY magazine ( in the original publications as well as in the foreign editions - at least to the best of my knowledge ) because there are already enough websites dedicated to that. Instead I am listing the ones I have featured on the blog which I have been writing over the last sixteen years with some links where to find them since 1,165 posts are a lot to go through.


Also I am not going to list them alphabetically but according to their date of birth including their measurements when available. And since this will be a resource for myself a well as my readers I will not only list playmates but every sexy female celebrity that has been in the pages of PLAYBOY.


Now this will not be a complete list since I spent the last two days going through all my old posts up and only managed to make it to the middle of 2017. It´s more of a Best Of The Breast and as always it´s completely random and subjective. Which means I will favor personal favorites and might skip some others. And if I have forgotten somebody drop me an e - mail. As always things got a longer than expected so I will probably need more than one post. With that said let´s start and see how far we can go.


We are off to a great start on January the 1st with wrestling sexbomb Kimberly Page ( who often gets mixed up with Playmate Of The Month in May 1987 Kymberly Paige whose birthday is either also on January the 1st or April the 6th ). Kimberly Page is of course known to wrestling fans as the Diamond Doll, valet of Diamond Dallas Page in the ring and his personal blow up sex doll at home. For the longest time her husband was the only one who got to see her stunning 36D - 25 - 36 measurements naked until Kimberly appeared in PLAYBOY newsstands pictorials from 1994 to 1999.


Everybody lusted after Kimberly´s giant boobs and I remember an episode of Monday Nitro where she got a key to a hotel room and prepared some champagner and dolled herself up in her raunchiest Fuck Me lingerie ( at least as raunchy as possible without getting censored ) awaiting her hubby to give her a good pounding. Only to discover that it was Ric Flair who had sent her the key who wanted Kimberly to do some spreading and sweating while pumping his rock hard nature boner. It´s no wonder Big Poppa Pump wanted to dicktame her to become one of his sex freaks. 


Now in the 90s somebody at WCW Wrestling must have felt that Kimberly was wasting her talents just being arm candy for her husband and so one of the best ideas EVER in wrestling was implemented : the Nitro Girls.



Naturally with Kimberly as the front woman. And though she wasn´t the best dancer and sometimes had trouble with the choreography she more than made up for that with her other qualities. So far Kimberly Page doesn´t have her own cult siren entry but I mentioned her in this post about my favorite female wrestlers and in this Nitro Girl spin - off post .


On January the 2nd we have hawaiian hottie Tia Carrere who has been scorching up the big screen and the small screen with her 36D - 24 - 35 measurements. Some of her best scenes are in the comedy High School High opposite Jon Lovitz and Tia is the only reason to watch that flick.


Apropos, Tia Carrere was also the female lead in Relic Hunter, a show that flopped despite it´s brilliant pitch : do an Indiana Jones tv series but instead of Harrison Ford make the archeologist a hot exotic sexbomb. I never understood why the series was not more successful since Tia wore sexy outfits, took off her clothes a few times and showed lots of skin.


And as longtime readers of the blog know I can´t let the opportunity pass to mention one of my favorite flicks, True Lies where Tia Carrere played femme fatale Juno Skinner although she didn´t show much skin herself.

Staying with movie sexbombs on January the 10th we have ultimate 33 - 25 - 35 bikini beach body Janet Jones Gretzky who is no stranger to regular readers as I mention her quite often in the bonus section.


She has been in a few movies but she is best known for her appearance in Police Academy 5 - Mission Miami Beach in a stunning swimsuit alongside Busenwunder Leslie Easterbrook. She is the main reason why people still watch the movie - or at least wait with switching off until her part is over.


We keep the babes in bikinis theme going on January the 13th as we come to our first BAYWATCH related birthday with one of my favorite born for porn tv sex bombs of all times, 36D - 22 - 32 nubian über sex goddess Traci Bingham ( or Traci Banghim like I call her ). She got her cult siren entry in 2013 and subsequent re - posts in 2014 , in 2016 , in 2017 and this year .


Speaking of afro - american aphrodite Traci Bingham, she almost was used like a nubian blow up sex doll by one of the horny BAYWATCH producers :

" One of the producers came into my trailer because he wanted to see me in person. He asked me to put my red suit on, and wanted to look at me in the swimsuit. I don't know if it was a sex thing or a sexual - harassment type of deal, which I felt it was because he was looking at my 36D breasts intensely. He wanted to know what the deal was with my insanely huge breasts. When I told him that I was not padding my suit he didn´t believe me and said he had to make sure for himself. First he just kind of, like, touched under my breasts but then he slid his hands under my swimsuit and began to fondle my breasts. When he pulled them out and started to bury his face between them I could feel he was getting a huge erection. "


" When I grabbed him and shoved him out of my trailer he said he only wanted to make sure that I didn´t pad my suit but I´m sure that if I hadn´t stopped the pervert he would have assaulted me sexually. "


And for more on such baywatchable babes like Erika Eleniak ( who is of course most famous for her incredibly steamy striptease in UNDER SIEGE ), Krista Allen ( best remembered for getting her freak on as french blow up sex doll EMANUELLE in 8 made for tv movies ) or natural born go go dancer Carmen Elektra check out my latest BAYWATCH SPIN - OFF POSTS.


Another BAYWATCH cast member whose birthday is on January the 13th is Nicole Eggert. So far I haven´t written much about her but she did star in a grim and gritty super hero movie from the 90s called The Demolitionist.



We come to a real boob star heavyweight on January the 19th with aptly named double D Busenwunder Dolly Parton a.k.a. the natural viagra substitute. And while I have mentioned the megabusty sexvixen with the titanic twin torpedoes often on the blog she only got her own spin - off post which also featured real life Power Girl Anna Nicole Smith last year. 


She is famous for being the original singer of I Will Always Love You which Whitney Houston covered in The Bodyguard and which became a favorite on casting shows since then and holds the Guinness Book world record for a woman with the biggest breasts in a non r - rated movie ( which have been reported to be anything from 38CC up to 48E !!! ) in Nine To Five.


With a first name that is short for blow up sex doll and the corresponding body she was predestined for a career in porn movies ( where her porn name would have been Sex Dolly or Dolly Part´ Em ) and it is all the more astounding that she managed to have a clean and very wholesome image.


If there ever was a woman born to play a whorehouse matron in a musical it´s Dolly Parton and it´s a crying shame she never got to play Power Girl.



On January the 20th - although I am not sure if 1966 or 1967 - we have afro - american aphrodite Stacey Dash . Stacey is really the only reason to watch the Clueless tv series since she busted out to her 34C - 24 - 34 measurements on that show. Sadly she waited with posing for PLAYBOY until she was 40 years old although her pictures still turned out pretty hot.


We are turning international on January the 23rd with bulgarian pop folk singer Andrea Teodora who goes by the stage name Andrea or Sahara. She was of course in the bulgarian version of PLAYBOY thanks to her 36D - 24 - 35 measurements and while I haven´t done a full feature on her so far I posted some music videos of Andrea here , here , here , here and here .


Closing out the month of January on the 27th is 80s playmate Karen Velez.


With her 37E - 23 - 35 measurements it´s no wonder that she not only became Playmate Of The Month in December 1984 but also the very first puerto rican Playmate Of The Year in 1985. As a geek trivia she was married to Six Million Dollar Man / Fall Guy Lee Majors from 1988 to 1994.



Continuing with quintessential playmates of the 1980s we begin the month of February on the 1st of the year 1966 with one of my favorite centerfolds, the tall, buxom and brunette brabuster Donna Edmondson .


My days of reading PLAYBOY are long gone but I still kept my copy of the german issue with Donna Edmondson in a secure place. Which by the way didn´t have Donna on the cover but german bunny Kirsten Schaefer.


Back to Donna Edmondson, I don´t know if she was predestined to take her clothes off for men´s magazines but in her high school yearbook she was voted " Most likely to become a bunny. " Which she did and thanks to her stunning 36F - 23 - 35 measurements she not only became Playmate Of The Month in November 1986 but was voted Playmate Of The Year in 1987.

  
Now since I read the german issues I had no idea how people in America react to certain playmates ( which is one reason why writing these entries is interesting - I learn so much ) and I had no idea about the controversy because Donna Edmondson was called The Virgin Playmate after it came out that at the time she did her nude pictorial for PLAYBOY she was still a virgin. Which got all the tv stations interested in interviewing The Virgin Playmate Of The Year from the Bible Belt which got all the politicians and religious zealots involved. I remember that at that time there were a lot of politicians who wanted to make a name for themselves by posing as paragons of virtue and decency by attacking the easy targets like movies, magazines and comics. People from my generation may remember how one politician furthered his career by driving the Volksverlag out of business while the other publishers did nothing. Because the money grubbing bastards were too busy thinking about which licenses they were going to bid for once the Volksverlag had to cease publication. According to what I read a report by the Meese Commission prompted all 7 - Elevens to pull the issue of PLAYBOY from their shelves and Joan Rivers ( who had an interview in that same issue ) did her best to rake Donna over the coals.


In the end all we have Today are fond memories of Ms Edmondson´s great pictorials and she hasn´t done bad for herself as she took a job as a tax accountant after the whole scandal where she met her husband with whom she has three kids. The best revenge is a life lived to its fullest.


Also born on February the 1st but in 1974 we have Lisa Marie Scott.

This professional ballet dancer of japanese descent became Playmate Of The Month in February 1995 and was the first playmate to be featured on the PLAYBOY website. She also pursued a film career and you might have seen her in Friends, Baywatch Nights, Married With Children, Playboy videos or midnight classics Ringer with Shannon Whirry or The Corporate Ladder with Ben Cross, Talisa Soto, Meilani Paul and Kathleen Kinmont .


After her film career Lisa went back to college to study and majored in history summa cum laude. She then went on to law school but soon found out that it was not the job she wanted so she went back to modeling.


We have our first Andy Sidaris related playmates starting on February the 7th 37E ( !!! ) - 23 - 35 Playmate Of The Month in March 1984 Dona L. Speir.

Her exceptional talents include breasts as big as her head and just as visible. She also has the smooth, muscled legs and firm, ripped glutes of a person who makes her living with her physique. Her face is framed in a mane of brightly cast blondness. She is best known for her role of secret agent Donna Hamilton, the go - to gal in Andy Sidaris' flashy series of spy - chick erotic thrillers since 1987. The highly successful, often imitated, never duplicated Andy Sidaris formula can be distilled to bombs and bullets and boobs and beaches and Bond gadgetry and hot tubs that double as think tanks. The intangible thread that pulls it all together ? Dona Speir.


The first time I mentioned Andy Sidaris was way back in 2013 but it took me until 2015 to do my first spotlight post on him and afterwards Dona got her own cult siren entry in 2016 with re - post in 2017 and again in 2018 .


We skip a week to February the 13th where we find Roberta Vasquez.

The big breasted latina is well known to longtime readers from baring her breast ASSets in many Andy Sidaris movies in fact I cast her as Big Barda in the ANDY SIDARIS SPECIAL EDITION in the special Subzero bonus round of my Casting the Justice League of America movie series. And while I have not done a solo post for her - yet - she has been regularly mentioned in the original Dona Speir cult siren post and all subsequent re - posts of it.


Roberta Vasquez was born in Los Angeles, on February 13, 1963. She became Playmate of the Month for November 1984, her measurements then were 40DD - 25 - 36. She stood at 5'8", weighing 125lb, with some of the most perfect natural breasts to ever appear inside PLAYBOY magazine.


Andy Sidaris was probably THE BEST director of action movies for adults and his cast is a WHOS´S WHO of playmates : 40DD Playmate Of The Month November 1984 Roberta Vasquez , hot 34D Page 3 girl turned sex therapist Ava Cadell , 41D Penthouse Pet Of The Year 1993 Julie Strain , Samantha Phillips, 34D Playmate Of The Month May 1994 Shae Marks , 36D Penthouse Pet Of The Month February 1993 Julie K. Smith , 34C Playmate Of The Month September 1993 Carrie Westcott or Dona Speir to name just a few.


We have our first german centerfold on February the 15th with Schlager starlet Tanja Shitawey a.k.a. Tanja Thomas a.k.a. Tanja Gisela Hewer a.k.a. Michelle a.k.a. etc. who posed nude in the german PLAYBOY in April 2006.


As with most german celebrities I was unable to find her measurements aside from that she´s a 34C so I have to list them as unknown. So far I haven´t done a feature on her because with all the different names she used it´s difficult to find good pictures of her so I only posted a video.



Going on to February the 18th we have 34C - 23 - 33 beachbody Heidi Mark and I came across her by accident. I posted one of the Thunder In Paradise movies that were shot to get a network to buy the series because I could not find the episode I was looking for. Or rather the episode with this hot bouncing action prone beachbombing bimbo.


As usual I came across this episode while I was looking for Playboy clips of Jacqueline Sheen. It is episode three of the first season ( or episode four if you count the pilot movie as two episodes ) called Sea Quentin and I think Sting guest stars. The wrestler, not the singer. According to her imdb sheet the woman in the red bikini with the integrated bouncing action appeared in six more Thunder In Paradise episodes and her name is Heidi Mark. She was Playmate Of The Month in July 1995, appeared on Baywatch , Silk Stalkings and various episodes of Married With Children.


It´s back to german Sexbomben on February the 23rd with 36D MILF Andrea Sawatzki and I wrote a feature on her just recently in this post .


Speaking of playmates on Married With Children, on February the 24th we have Playmate of the Month April in 1986 Teri Weigel. Because of Teri´s perplexing 36E ( !!! ) - 22 - 34 physique and her protruding torpedo shaped sweater puppies she became quite popular and was in a few specials from PLAYBOY. She also was one of the few playmates who also appeared in PENTHOUSE although not as a Pet of the Month. She was just everywhere during the 80s. She later had her breasts enlarged and did porn but in my opinion she looked best in her appearances on Married with Children.


What I completely brainfart on is Teri also appeared in Baywatch ( she is topless in the pilot episode although that part can sometimes be censored ), Predator 2 and Savage Beach by Andy Sidaris. Fun fact : Teri Weigel and Carolyn Liu both were in PLAYBOY´s Sexy Lingerie 3 and both appeared in Andy Sidaris movies but not together. Carolyn Liu is also very well known in Germany amongst people of my generation since she took her clothes off on Tutti Frutti with Power Girl Monique Sluyter as did Sandra Wild, a blonde sexbomb with giant breasts who also was in an Andy Sidaris movie.


And I just wrote a spin - off post with all the usual links to Janet Jones Gretzky and real live Power Girl Leslie Easterbrook who had the most famous scene in Police Academy 4 - Citizens on Patrol in which she emerges from a pool in a wet t - shirt. And while the obligatory Andy Sidaris actresses / playmates / sexbombs like Roberta Vasquez , Ava Cadell , brunette Cynthia Brimhall, Dona Speir , Julie Strain , Shae Marks , Julie K. Smith and Samantha Phillips are mentioned the main part is about blonde brabuster Monique Sluyter and the obligatory plethora of Tutti Frutti girls .


Closing up the month of February more internationally on the 28th we have 39D ( !!! ) - 25 - 39 mammary massita Monica Farro, a former Miss Uruguay and star contestant on argentinian dance show Bailando Por Un Sueno. I have already posted a few clips from that show so I don´t have to explain it ( basically it´s the porn version of Dancing with the Stars as the female contestants have all done porn or at least appeared in adult movies and instead of normal dances they do super steamy stripteases ).


She is a total knockout with the prototype heart shaped butt, she has been numerous times in PLAYBOY, MAXIM and other men´s magazines and she gives the best interviews. I don´t know if you can believe everything she says though as she confesses to be a total sex freak,having sex up to six times on one day and possessing three g - spots. In Monica´s words :

I love doing it in the shower, it makes me hot. Whenever I feel horny I say : " Let´s hit the shower ! " My favorite position is with my boobs pressed firmly against the wall while being taken hard from behind. I like kissing with water pouring down between my lips....both sets of them.


In bed I can give you a brilliant class about everything. I´m the born sex instructor and I love playing the role of horny teacher. Whenever I get the chance to give some boy, who has just reached the peak of his staying power and can come dozens of time, some deepthroat sex ed I switch to " total nympho mode " going for a weekend sperm extraction marathon.

Which ruins him for all girls. I know that sounds hard ( pun intended ) but so far there have been no complaints from any of the guys I dicktamed.


Including her in these posts is always a struggle because she is just too sexual. I have put her in a special real life Power Girl post together with russian 43E - 24 - 36 Schaubusenbesitzerin ( some things you just can´t translate ) Anna Semenovich. In the case of Anna it has nothing to do with her material being too explicit I just wanted to post more pictures.


Now the reason why I put Anna Semenovich in the post with Monica Farro is that her birthday falls on March the 1st, and we will have to continue with that month in part two of this celebration of Hugh Hefner´s legacy.


Man, this post is fully packed and we only managed to cover two months.


If this continues at this pace I will need six posts to cram all the sexbombs from PLAYBOY magazines into them. On the other hand which male would complain about five more posts full of playmates and other hot women ?

It´s Webslinging Wednesday with Ron Frenz

Originally I wanted to wait until Tomorrow to make a special post in honor of Ron Frenz´ 57th birthday but then I asked myself : why wait another day ? And maybe I still can make a special THORSDAY post Tomorrow.


Like usual I went through all my folders because the Ron Frenz stuff was scattered all over the laptop and it very quickly became apparent that there are only two folders with a lot of Ron Frenz artwork : the one with the THOR stuff after Walter Simonson´s run and the SPIDER - GIRL stuff.

As I said, if I am going to do a post about Ron Frenz´ THOR run it will be on Thorsday and probably something with Eric Masterson. Because the Epic Collection THOR - IN MORTAL FLESH comes out in August I was thinking maybe one of the issues that are included but then I thought it would be better to post an issue I have already covered. Now I´m thinking maybe neither since what I really want to post is an issue with Eric Masterson like maybe his first issue as the new god of thunder or even the first issue of THUNDERSTRIKE. That was one of my favorite series from the 1990s. 


Okay, so now that I had decided not to do the usual selection of covers post I didn´t just want to post random pages from the SPIDER - GIRL series so the only full stories I have are from SPIDER - MAN FAMILY 5 and 6.

Longtime readers may remember that way back when the book was still fighting against cancellation I wrote a post about this cheap ploy. Ever since the Spider - Girl from the Marvel 2 universe hit the comic scene Marvel has done it´s best to kill it which is one of the reasons I have trouble swallowing this new all different, all diversified Marvel NOW universe. Because as much as everybody hates the 90s comics we DID have a female Spider - Man that was the best there is, the best there was and the best there ever will be. Marvel doesn´t have anything that comes near it, current, past or in the future and at it´s time it was one of the only two Spider - Man - related series you could still read. The other was UNTOLD TALES OF SPIDER - MAN which started out costing less than a dollar. All the other Spider - books couldn´t compete, not contentwise and definitely not where the price was concerned. Today they tell you that they can´t produce good comic books if they don´t cost five bucks but back then they did it all for under a dollar. Really makes you think.


By the way, in the Marvel 2 universe we had a female Thor, a female Captain America AND a female Wolverine. Just for all those readers out there who think that Marvel is now at the height of racial and sexual diversity. So if you thought having X 23 as the new Wolverine is a brilliant new idea they already tried this with WILD THING who at least was the daughter of Wolverine ( with Psylocke, no less. Logan gets all the babes ).


Coming back to Spider - Girl, after I set on posting her story from SPIDER - MAN FAMILY 5 I went looking if I could find some original art from the issue but like always I found more than I had bargained for which was dozens of pages from all the other series he has worked on. In any case I had already put back all the other stuff and it was much too late to change the post.


So here is the first Spider - Girl post which I promised I don´t know how many years ago and I hope I can do the second part of this next week.


There are just a few links I have to add before we come to the video section which has a plethora of hot celebrity sexbombs Today. As this post is in honor of his birthday I have to include MARVEL COMICS OF THE 1980s post on Ron Frenz´ cover for Fantastic Four Annual 20 . Also I have not visited many other blogs lately which is understandable keeping in mind the workload that is involved in trying to keep my own little blog afloat.


One of the blogs on the blog roll is DIVERSIONS OF THE GROOVY KIND and since Old Groove has a similar taste in comic books as yours truly it should be no surprise that he has covered a few of the topics from my last posts like John Romita Sr.´s 87th birthdaySal Buscema´s 81st birthday as well as other cool stuff like Captain Marvel issue 1 by the great Gene Colan.

We start Today´s celebrity birthdays with Lisa Marie Scott who turns 43.


This professional ballet dancer of japanese descent became Playmate Of The Month in February 1995 and was the first playmate to be featured on the PLAYBOY website. She also pursued a film career and you might have seen her in Friends, Baywatch Nights, Married With Children, Playboy videos or midnight classics Ringer with Shannon Whirry or The Corporate Ladder with Ben Cross, Talisa Soto ( whom we had in our last post as Vampirella ), Meilani Paul and Lorenzo Llamas´ wife, Kathleen Kinmont.


After her film career Lisa went back to college to study and majored in history summa cum laude. She then went on to law school but soon found out that it was not the job she wanted so she went back to modeling.


Next we have porn star royalty with ultimate blonde blow up sex doll Jill Kelly, who majored the porn star academy sukka cum louder thanks to her 37E - 24 - 36 measurements, superior oral skills and a relentless sex drive. The now 46 year old lesbian who derived her stage name from two of Charlie´s Angels and lied about her age to perform at her hometown strip club with 15 has retired after starring in over 50 b movies and more than 400 adult films - some of them produced by her own company Jill Kelly Productions - but she left with one of best performances in her farewell to her fans 100 % Jill about which she said : I wanted the movie to really define my sexuality since that's what being a performer in this industry is all about. It's a very sex - driven video. It's not big on dialogue and it's not big on plot. It doesn't waste any time in getting right down to the heart of what I like sexually. I'm really proud of it. It's the perfect send - off.


If there is one actor who definitely has german roots it is Brian Krause who celebrates his 48th birthday. He is best known for his longstanding role of Leo Wyatt on Charmed. In the show he was romantically involved with Holly Marie Combs´ character but in real life he dated Alyssa Milano ( who by the way just had her 44th birthday in December so you might want to check out her post which has links to previous Alyssa Milano posts ) and who wouldn´t ? Now can we cancel the whole stupid reboot idea ? 


Today we have a playmate Two - In - One party as one of my favorite centerfolds, the tall, buxom and brunette Donna Edmondson turns 51.


My days of reading PLAYBOY are long gone - especially since they don´t have pictures of naked women anymore what completely defeats the purpose - but I still kept my copy of the german issue in a secure place. Which by the way didn´t have Donna on the cover but german bunny Kirsten Schaefer. It also had an article on Falco - but we´ll get to him later.


Back to Donna Edmondson, I don´t know if she was predestined to take her clothes off for men´s magazines but in her high school yearbook she was voted " Most likely to become a bunny. " Which she did and thanks to her stunning 36F - 23 - 35 measurements she not only became Playmate Of The Month in November 1986 but was voted Playmate Of The Year in 1987.


Now since I read the german issues I had no idea how people in America react to certain playmates ( which is one reason why writing these entries is interesting - I learn so much ) and I had no idea about the controversy because Donna Edmondson was called The Virgin Playmate after it came out that at the time she did her nude pictorial for PLAYBOY she was still a virgin. Which got all the tv stations interested in interviewing The Virgin Playmate Of The Year from the Bible Belt which got all the politicians and religious zealots involved. I remember that at that time there were a lot of politicians who wanted to make a name for themselves by posing as paragons of virtue and decency by attacking the easy targets like movies, magazines and comics. People from my generation may remember how one politician furthered his career by driving the Volksverlag out of business while the other publishers did nothing. Because the money grubbing bastards were too busy thinking about which licenses they were going to bid for once the Volksverlag had to cease publication. According to what I read a report by the Meese Commission prompted all 7 - Elevens to pull the issue of PLAYBOY from their shelves and Joan Rivers ( who had an interview in that same issue ) did her best to rake Donna over the coals.


In the end all we have Today are fond memories of Ms Edmondson´s great pictorials and she hasn´t done bad for herself as she took a job as a tax accountant after the whole scandal where she met her husband with whom she has three kids. The best revenge is a life lived to its fullest.

We go back another decade with Karl Dall who celebrates his 76th birthday and first became known - I´m trying to avoid the word famous - as one of the founding members of comedy foursome / aged boy band Insterburg & Co in the 70s. I could swear I have written about him a few times but so far I could only find one lousy post with a video by Insterburg & Co.



With our next candidate we stay with comedy but add sex and a callback to the aforementioned sexbomb Alyssa Milano as Garrett Morris turns 80. He was on Who´s The Boss and for those who recognized him as the cab driver in Marvel´s recent Ant Man blockbuster that is another callback as he played Ant Man in a Saturday Night Live sketch ( which I included in an earlier post ). And if the name of Garrett Morris does not sound familiar you may recognize him as Earl from the hit comedy show 2 Broke Girls with 38E Power Girl Kat Dennings. Initially I wanted to post one of her GIFS but then I found the one below which fits the spirit much better.


Okay, GIFs are one thing and videos are something completely different so because I don´t want to repost the sketch here is Kat Dennings on The Late Late Show With Craig Ferguson where her breastacular ( I claim the copyright on this word ) wonder twins almost pop out of her black dress.



Now Elisabeth Sladen might have not been the Kat Dennings of her time but Sarah Jane Smith is the quintessential Doctor Who companion. She was the one who set the gold standard and if there is one incarnation of everybody´s favorite time travelling Timelord that is known around the world it´s Tom Baker with the fedora, the impossibly long scarf, the jellybeans, the tin dog K 9 and Sarah Jane Smith. We all loved her.


Which is one of the reasons why I was so bummed that they didn´t show the Doctor Who spin off The Sarah Jane Adventures. Not only is this a brilliant Doctor Who gateway drug for kids for those who haven´t seen it yet it is the chance to reencounter Elisabeth Sladen who aged very well.

It´s almost like there are lost Doctor Who episodes with Jo Grant and Brigadier Lethbridge - Stewart as well as the tenth and eleventh Doctor.



Although the Insterburg & Co video is somewhat of a music video I want to give a shoutout to Rick James. Now while a few people out there might know his original song most probably first heard about him as the artist who got sampled by Mc Hammer ( I just had to mention him in a post about Ron Frenz ) for his smash hit U Can´t Touch This. But here in Germany I first heard his distinctive baseline in Falco´s Der Komissar. It was only years later that I heard his Super Freak on Mtv´s Greatest Hits.



I chose the last video because Ron Frenz did the cover for issue 20 and you can find more pages of Star Comics´ Thundercats on RAD UNIVERSE .

Thunder ... thunder - thunder - THUNDERCATS, HOOOOOOOOOOOO !
