Night Drive in Tokyo

Found this bit of awesomeness through a friend, can't imagine driving there is looks like controlled chaos 

Retro Crush #003: Angie Dickinson

Name: Angie Dickinson

Date of Birth: September 30, 1931 (age 80)

Home Town: Kulm, North Dakota, United States

Occupations: Actress

Prime Years: 1954–1980

"When I started shooting Police Woman, someone asked me if I had ever  played a sleuth before. I said 'Yes, many times.' I thought they were asking me if I ever played a slut. I didn't know what a sleuth was."

Check out that body! A lot of people say our standard of what is "sexy" has changed over the years from curvaceous to toned. But it's hard argument to make that Angie Dickinson wasn't ahead of her time.

Dickinson has appeared in over 50 movie rolls and numerous TV shows. Although she started her acting career in the late 50's she really wasn't  looked at as a sex symbol until the early 70's. Dickinson aged well and by that time still looked like a knock out.

Her best move has to the Roger Corman directed "Big Bad Mama" (1974). She has three separate nude scenes, one full frontal [!] with Star Trek's William Shatner!

Angie Dickinson appeared on the March 1979 cover of the adult magazine High Society, with the promise of "nude photos inside." There were nude photos but they were just stills from the nudey shots she did for Big Bad Mama.

They don't even have a proper interview, it's just selected quotes from other interviews she has done. Not really worth tracking down unless your a completest.
.

There is an interesting black and white photo floating around which appears to be a very young Dickinson posing totally nude for a frontal shot. This still photograph can be had on ebay for about $10. It really does look like Angie circa late 50's when she was doing beauty pageants. It could be her or some nameless model of  the same period who looked a lot like her.

80 years old now and still not a bad looking great grandma! I would just dust the cobwebs out of the way and dig in!

70's Camper Trucks

Travel Back with me to a place and time when having a camper over your truck bed was cool. Have a look...

T's of my Own Creation

I'm a T-Shirt and jeans guy. I have polo's, sweaters, hoodies, and collared shirts but I feel the most comfortable wearing T's and Jeans. Besides print-less undershirts I don't buy any of my T's at the store. I truly believe T-shirts are a great way of expressing oneself. 

For a small time I was into silk screening my own, but the cost and clean-up was a nightmare. Now there's services all over the web offering Direct to Garment Printing. Imagine an inkjet printer that printed on t-shirts instead of paper and you get the idea.

Although there are quite a few out there, in my opinion mysoti.com is the best, and cafepress.com is the worst. Similar sites but a world of differences as far as quality and price go. 

My storefront is finally set up so shop away. Your helping a good cause, proceeds go to a starving artist named Chris ;p 

Below are a couple of designs I made for this blog and my film site ElectroShclock.com. I have a couple of other designs I'm working on, one for LuridLit so I can have my blog trilogy collection. I'll post that one once it's finished.

Japanese Idol Worship: Natsuko Tohno

Name: Natsuko Tohno

Born: 3/06/77

Blood Type: B

165 cm tall

Bust: 88 cm, Waist: 56 cm, Hips: 85 cm.

My first Japanese Idol post generated quite a few hit's, so I decided to give the readers what they want. Welcome to "Japanese Idol Worship", a new regular feature.

Today's Idol is an old one, old in terms of JAV. Natsuko Tohno is now 34 at the time of this writing, and as far as I can tell she has faded into obscurity after a very brief but successful run as a prime Japanese Adult Video (or JAV) star. Actually very little was known about her while she was in the limelight, so she probably is just a very private person.

Lucky for us she not private enough to hide her body! Below is a small sampling of some of her PG-13 pictures from some of her photo shoots. Enjoy!

SCORE: Vans and Hellcats

The end of last week I bought some stuff online, the first of that stuff came in today. Have a look.

I'm just about ready to start tearing into my van, so what better place to
find inspiration for a custom interior than Van magazines from the
70's? I got these on ebay as usual, they sold for their normal going price
between $ 8- $10. I only buy four of these at a time. I just can't justify
spending $50 on magazines at any given time. 

The MPC Sunrunner Model Kit. It's a 1977 Ford just like mine!

Scored this from an amazon.com marketplace
seller for $5, sealed.

Time to Post Something

So it's been quite a while since I've posted anything (yes I know, I suck.) Life has been crazy, my other two blogs are doing well and I've been pretty busy with those. I have to admit though I've been wasting a lot of time on an international pen pal site flirting with girls from South East Asia (yes I know, I'm a bastard.) I'm writing this now to let everyone know I have a couple of good post in the hopper. Post on Cars, Vans, Toys, and Book/CD Reviews are all on the way.

By the way I just noticed I hit a 1,000 page views, hells yes! Thanks for everyone who visit regularly and for those who stumble on here through google. I appreciate you all.

If this is your first time here I urge you to visit the archives, you will find mindless rambling on all sorts of random shit. Stay tuned...
