Friday Night Female Flesh Remembers The 80's

Tonight we remember the 1980's and all the glorious female flesh from the decade that well and truly sucked. Let's set the mood with one of the very few good New Wave tunes from the early 80's



The band was called Split Enz and their song 'I Got You' was a huge hit across The Commonwealth. The Finn brothers went on to form the band Crowed House and until The Lord of the Rings was filmed there 15 years later the only other good thing about New Zealand was that The Mayor lived there for a year.

The lovely lass on the left was a model on high demand during the 80's until she gave up on life and married Harry Conick Jr. No one has heard from her since. The pool shark on the right could be TLDG (don't play her for money) but isn't, she's just a good looking skank with totally awesome hair and nice breasts who happens to play pool.


This is Reg and his posse back in the Spring of '88 at our year-end formal dance. I'm the one at the back with the sense enough to hide his face. It just occured to me I was still 17 when that picture was taken. Damn you Father Time!

Kids these days have it good with this whole 'Global Warming' thing. Oh no, the polar ice cap is melting at a rate of 2mm a year! Bah!! In the 80's we had Global Warming of the nuclear kind to worry about. Bad enough that we had to worry about catching AIDS or roving squads of post-apocalyptic Australian road warriors, we had Global Thermonuclear Warfare to worry about. Things were tense for a while and then Ronnie told Gorby to "tear down this wall" and all was good in the world. I'll point out that unlike other US Presidents good old Ronnie knew that 'nuclear' was pronounced 'nuclear' not nucular. This next video is for my friend and fellow blogger Chris Strange . Though I've never met Chris I do know that 'Chris' isn't his real name and he mentioned something in his post last weekend that made me think of balloons and nuclear war.



I'm sure you all remember Ari Myers. Ari played the character 'Emma' on the famous TV show 'Kate and Allie'. Though I can't remember what network the show was on, or what night of the week it played, I'm sure you all remember Kate and Allie. It wasn't NBC Thurday becasue that was when The Cosby Show, Family Ties, Cheers and Night Court was on. Night Court, is it just me or was Markie Post was hot! I'm stalling for time here because I'm sure none of you want to read about the effect very beautiful Ari Myers had on me and how I handled this effect. Lets move on shall we?

Of all the great TV shows of the 1980's WKRP in Cincinnati wasn't one of them. Sure we all loved Herb Tarlick and Les Nessman, who can forget the classic 'flying turkey' episode but most guys were watching Loni Anderson and her breasts. Not me though, I had it bad for the geeky brunette in the background, Bailey Quarters played by Jan Smithers. Sure she was an older woman (I was 12 at the time) and she was the love interest of that guy who played Andy that whose name history has forgotten but I had it for her bad. According to Wiki, Jan lives in Canada these days.

Speaking of Canada, my beloved Vancouver Canucks made it to The Stanley Cups Finals in 1982 and if it wasn't for Barney Bentall and The Legendary Heartsthe rest of the 1980's would have been a write-off. I'm guessing a lot of you, even Canadian readers, might not know Barney Bentall but he was one of the lone rock troubadours in the dark years of the 1980's:


It is a miracle of the modern age that Heather Locklear is more beautiful now then she was wayyyyyy back when. Way back when she was in a TV show called "Melrose Place", but 1980's TV trivia buffs remember that Heather rose to fame working along side 'The Shat' in "T.J. Hooker" which was a show about cops before "Cops" became a TV show and was not really about hookers at all.











Thinking of Heather Locklear makes of 1980's Metal Bands. Not only did she marry Tommy Lee of Motley Crue but after dumping him she hooked up with Ritchie Sambora of Bon Jovi. Thinking of The Crue and Bon Jovi gets me thinking of Power Ballads. Musically the 80's sucked hard (thank Set for Dire Straits, Tom Petty and Nirvana)but the 80's did give us The Power Ballad.

There isn't anyone who went the high school in the 80's who doesn't know the words to "Every Rose Has It's Thorn" by Poison or "Patience" by Gun N' Roses (when Axel Rose was still a normal human from the planet Earth). IMHO the best Power Ballad of the era was sung by former Mitchieville Township resident Sebastian Bach of Peterborough, Ontario. So for the 1980's, every girl at CHSS I ever had a crush on, and Sebastian Bach, I Remember You:
