Requiem for a lady
I was passing through the softcore titles and spotted a thread that I thought might be interesting. I have just spent a sad two hours reading everything here.
There are so many memories wrapped up in these pages. I have recognized too many names and photographs including my earliest heartthrob, Diane Webber. Each of us, I am sure, loved these women in our own way and held the hope of someday having them pass by us on the street in a fleeting view of paradise. For all of them now, such hopes are in the past but smiles live on in our hearts for the joy they caused before we became aware of their passing. In my whole life, now encompassing 66 years, I have only met one such celebrity in the flesh, and I still remember every detail clearly. In the early 60s I was in college in California when Astrid Shultz, PM Sept 64, appeared at a local men's clothing store on a promotion. I and my three buddies took a break from our studying to make the trip, but sadly they stopped me from taking her issue in for a autograph (sensitivities were much stricter then). I remember a short lady, coming only to my shoulder, but cute and friendly. But I haven't seen her name here and hope she is still living a happy life. I missed seeing Jayne Mansfield by only a day or two when stationed in Biloxi, Mississippi. She was playing at Gus Stevens on the gulf when her life was tragically cut short. I recently returned to that area for a visit but couldn't quite figure where the club, now gone, had stood. But I have passed by the location of her accident outside New Orleans several times, I did on my visit in '06, and still think fondly of her when I do. In particular, I remember the passing of Bettie Page. A story in the paper stating that she was in a hospital, then, later, her obituary giving a few details of her life and death. I grieve occasionally for the loss, and miss my forlorn hopes of meeting her just once. Fabrizio, you're a saint for your records and information, always providing just the touch needed to jiggle the heartstrings and jog the memory. Inglorious, bless you for establishing this thread. I shall return again in the future to find out what other portions of my heart have been torn away. Rest in peace my pretty

Many of these girls once lived in our dreams, and it's really sad to learn that they're gone. And when one of them leaves us, as demsal8 said, she takes away a part of our heart.

Here's the latest, so far.
Quote:
Dramatic links between two notorious unsolved murders dating back more than 30 years were revealed today. Scotland Yard has uncovered DNA evidence linking the 1975 killing of Playboy Bunny girl model Eve Stratford with the murder of 16 year old schoolgirl Lynne Weedon six months later. The extraordinary breakthrough has been made because of advances in DNA technology. An inquiry by a cold case review group revealed the link. Detectives have re-opened both cases and say they are hunting a brutal sex killer who used terrifying violence to commit both murders. They are not ruling out the possibility that he has committed other unsolved killings. After reading about the crime scene, yes it was appalling. Since the 16 year old was raped and left for dead, sounds like a serial sexual predator was on the loose. Unfortunately after so long, the killer may be dead already. If so, roasting in hell, I sincerely hope. Last edited by groomleader; August 21st, 2011 at 06:28 PM.. Reason: Correcting spelling error |

Unfortunately, this thread, while nice to remember our favs, is soooo depressing at times. Kind of a double-edged sword.

Thank you lileo. I had not heard about this. I think "Allison" (aka Gloria) was the centerfold in the first Pl*yb*y I ever purchased as a teenager. The newspaper obit doesn't even mention her centerfold fame. It also lists her birth year as 1941; Wikipedia says 1943. Her Wikipedia entry: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Allison_Parks Her VEF thread: http://vintage-erotica-forum.com/sho...=allison+parks PMOM: October 1965 PMOY: 1966 |
