Flashback Friday


Just last week, the Smithsonean Institute added Farrah Fawcet's infamous red bathing suit to its vast collection. Yep, it's in there with Henry Ford's first automobile and the Wright Brothers' airplane. And rightfully so.
Back in the mid-70's, just about every house in the country had a copy of this poster on a wall somewhere - be it a bedroom, basement or garage.
I'm still hacked off that Farrah didn't receive the farewell tributes that she deserved, since she died at the same time that Michael Jackson did.
I'm proud to say that I have this poster, still in its original plastic wrapping, safely down in the basement in the archives, along with another old poster of Paul McCartney and his wife Linda, and a poster of Janis Joplin sitting on a chopper, both still in their original plastic wrapping.
