Hasn't the title held for the lazier subsets of nearly every fashion group under 30 since?
The lesson I draw from the splash page is that hot chicks can, through the ravages of time, be made to look like retro hot chicks.
The 60s/70s photos are a reminder of how amazing Charlotte Rampling, Jane Birkin and Francois Hardy all looked.
That Jane Birkin photo is something else.
You guys did see the Tina Turner and Raquel Welch videos on this page, right?
re: 6
The Welch video is reminiscent of the Magic Christian. I presume it's tied in in some way.
Lovin' the various page. I would totally wear the 1969 Pierre Cardin (pocketless).
So far I've only explored the "Kings Road, Chelsea" video, and it's awesome.
Also: can someone explain this movie to me?
What part of "soft porn" don't you understand?

How Unfogged Saved my Morning
I am a little irritable this morning because I have too much work, not enough sleep, and whacked out hormones. And a headache. Two (surely perfectly pleasant) young men sit behind me on the train and proceed to loudly discuss basketball gossip, one with a really pronounced lisp. I understand that my irritation is unjustified, but I really want to spin around and tell them to shut the fuck up. I dig frantically through my bag for my iPod to drown out the annoying voices, only to discover that the battery is dead.
Then it hits me. Unfunkked 3 is on the harddrive of my laptop! I quickly plug the earphones into the computer, fire up Windows Media Player, and escape into this funkky, funkky mix. Mood restored, day saved. Thank you Unfunkked!

That is a really good mix.
I thought the story was going to end with you making a gay joke to the lisping basketball fan, or maybe saying he turned out to be SCMT.
Aww, that makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside.
loudly discuss basketball gossip
The playoff schedule just got set yesterday. The best two months of the year--and the best playoffs in I can't remember how long--are about to start.
The mini habits on the page B linked in 6 are sweet. I'd go back to Mass for that.
The West is going to be crazy. Predictions, Tim? I think Utah is the sleeper.
But aren't mini-skirts ugly! I don't mean they make people who wear them look ugly, or you have to be exceptionally hot to carry them off or any of that bullshit. They are, by themselves, whoever wears them, an exceptionally ill-shaped garment.
13: I don't generally make gay jokes. I'm all uptight and PC that way.
Does SCMTim have a lisp? If so, he should go see a speech therapist because it's really irritating!*
*I am only teasing, of course. I have also been known to get exceedingly annoyed by people who swallow too loudly. Yes, clearly the fault is mine. There is surely some childhood trauma underlying this disproportionate emotional response...
I'm wearing jeans and a t-shirt right now. Because I quite my job.
You quit your job? Or you quite like your job? Are you trying to kill me with the suspense?
Is this is a subtle reference to Brokeback Mountain? 'Cause I never saw that movie. No spoilers, please.
You're so wrong, ogged. The only fashion era anyone should be embarassed about is the '80s.
The West is going to be crazy. Predictions, Tim? I think Utah is the sleeper.
As a Laker fan, I'm scared to death of the Nuggets, and particularly J.R. Smith. Only Karl's headcase-ness gives me any confidence.
Utah has such a different record on the road than at home, from which I infer some sort of gamesmanship advantage. I just took a look, and they average about 1.5 fouls more a game on the road than at home (and more, I'd guess, against playoff teams). They won't have home court advantage in any series, so I don't expect them to get past the second round, and I wouldn't be surprised if the Rockets beat them.
I expect the Lakers to beat the Spurs in the Western finals. Lakers-Celts? I have no idea who would win that matchup, but I'd have to say that the Celts would be the strong favorites.
It's beyond bizarre to think that the three teams that were the favorites to come out of the West--Spurs, Suns, and Mavs--scare me the least.
What part of "soft porn" don't you understand?
The part where the lead actress has sex with Richard Burton's Mexican gardner, played by Ringo Starr, and then has an erotic fantasy featuring Walter Mathau.
15: The best two months of the year--and the best playoffs in I can't remember how long--are about to start. have started.
Hockey is great isn't it?
Assuming that you're not working for the law firm, teo, what are you planning to do?
20: Hurrah! I mean, that's followed by "OMG, are you going to be able to find another job? How will you support yourself? What have you done?" But, first and foremost, how good it must feel to be able to just up and quit. (And the ultimate answer to all those other questions is, "Oh quit being such a worry wort. It will all be fine.")
26: It's about giving hope to the homely.
The best two months of the year...
Gosh, I can't imagine why the NBA isn't more popular. Two months just for the playoffs?
26: As opposed to those porn/soft-porn movies in which the male lead is stunningly attracive?
18: They are, but in those photos they look AWESOME. Tailoring, tailoring, tailoring.
...and then has an erotic fantasy featuring Walter Mathau.
There's a story about Tony Curtis, back in New York from his first trip to Hollywood, seeing Matthau on the street and leaning out of a cab window to yell, "Hey, Walter, I fucked Yvonne DeCarlo!"
33: there's a long way from "stunningly attractive" to "Walter Matthau".
Anyhow most softcore aims to have attractive male leads. Your Ron Jeremy type is strictly hardcore.
I know a few women who think that 60s/70s Ringo Starr was pretty attractive.
That's sharp analysis on the Jazz, Tim. Perhaps I overrate them, but they were the only team I saw really take it to the Celtics all year. Williams is great, Boozer is great, and they defend. I still have residual dread of the Spurs, maybe just because Manu is such an assassin. The Lakers I haven't really followed this year -- I haven't seen them play post Gasol...
As for the the Mavs and Suns, I agree: not scary. When was the last time a team with bad defense won the finals? (answer: the Dallas Mavericks against the Miami Heat. But aside from that...)
Okay, there's a long way from Ringo Starr to stunningly attractive.
Per 37, ogged can now fairly call me anti-British.
Your Ron Jeremy type is strictly hardcore.
Wasn't Strictly Hardcore the straight-to-DVD sequel to Strictly Ballroom?
Make fun of the wardrobe of my youth at your peril! Except some of the hats, you can mock some of the hats. And all the Carnaby Street attire. And anything with sequinned ruffles. And Sonny's boots. Well, OK...
But you cannot mock Jimi Hendrix, whatever he wore. Hell, mock everything except the folks at Arlo Guthrie's wedding and Jimi. And my jeans and tie-dyed T.
tie-dyed
Sorry, no choice but to mock this.
Hey, I will happily offer up my giant, baggy rave pants for mockery.
Assuming that you're not working for the law firm, teo, what are you planning to do?
Go to Davis.
As BG and DK correctly deduced, I meant to write "quit" up there. As for what I'm going to do, I have some things in mind for the next few months, at least, and a bit later on, applying to graduate school (not at Davis). But first, Budapest.
Totalitarian planning of every aspect of people's everyday lives?
The bureaucratic manipulation of spatial relations as an exercise of state power?
I'm trying to think of the programs my friend who was applying to geography, architecture, and something else programs was applying to. I mean, what the other one was.
By settling, Tweety has signalled his low self-confidence. The more self-assured of us will wait to guess until after the answer is given.
Further to 12:
Why oh why have I not been listening to this mix? The chatterboxes both in front of and behind me on the train ride home? Hey, talk it up guys! I've got Unfunkked 3 to keep me mellow! Yeah, I know this is totally belated digging -- but I make up for my tardiness with enthusiasm!
