Mad About Farrah.

by Little Miss Attila on June 25, 2009

After all, she made it okay to have nipples. (Breasts wouldn’t be all right until Madonna emerged on the scene, some years later.)

Via Althouse, who has two more clips: another video retrospective, which includes a few clips from Farrah’s appearance on The Partridge Family, and some footage of Fawcett on The Dating Game.

She did raise more wood than Weyerhaeuser.

Breasts weren’t all right until Madonna? What was Jane Mansfield, chopped liver?

Or is this another nonsensical instance where straight men take the heat for the skewed self image issues women have from paying attention to the fashion business? By definition, straight men are not sexually interested in prepubescent boys. You women take your cues on female beauty from fashionistas, we guys aren’t taking the rap for your anorexia and other self inflicted insecurities.

Now I understand woman like to hang with a guy who will watch Oprah with them, and get alternately giggly and weepy over cups of chamomille tea, and who won’t grunt noncommitally but squeal when you show off your new handbag, but don’t model yourself on what he wants in bed. You lack the equipment and it leads to all kinds of confusion.

Don’t take my word for it, ask some other straight men if they liked breasts prior to Madonna (actually, if there’s anyone who could take the fun out of sex and turn it into a joyless chore, it’d have to be Madonna).

You forgot Marilyn Monroe. And your joke filter.

I don’t suppose you’ve ever looked at a Victoria’s Secret catalog . . . ? You might take a peek; it’ll help you to get the joke, if you check on the availability of cup sizes anywhere north of C.

Stay sweet.

I thought of bringing up Marilyn, but decided Mansfield a) was better known for her breasts and b) predated her.

Actually, whenever I hear of “Madonna” and “breasts” I immediately think of pointy steel bras. Doesn’t sound like much of a turn-on to anyone but C-3PO. Well, and hardcore Fritz Lang aficionados.

As for Victoria’s Secret, I learned long ago that my trying to purchase intimate apparel for a member of the other leading gender is a recipe for disaster. That’s what God made gift certificates for.

Actually, on reflection Mansfield didn’t predate Monroe. Oh well, chalk it up to my own personal preferences. They’re both equally dead so at this point there’s little to choose between them.
