Wow – that Banarama video sent me down an interweb rabbit hole – thanks of course to that spunky cutie on the far right – Siobhan Fahey. Fahey apparently “married Dave Stewart of Eurythmics in 1987; the couple divorced in 1996” and have 2 kids together. “Fahey has two younger sisters, Máire (who played Eileen in the video of the 1982 song “Come On Eileen”, a hit for Dexys Midnight Runners)”. The more you know! Lol
I was always partial to “Cruel Summer” by them. Great song. “It was ranked number 44 on VH1’s 100 Greatest Songs of the ’80s.[2] Billboard named the song #13 on their list of 100 Greatest Girl Group Songs of All Time.[3]” ….” After an exhausting morning shooting (the video) in the city (NYC) in brutal August heat, the band returned to the tavern for lunch. They made the acquaintance of some local dockworkers, who, upon learning of their situation, shared vials of cocaine with them. “That was our lunch,” said Fahey, who had never tried the drug before. “When you watch that video, we look really tired and miserable in the scenes we shot before lunch, and then the after-lunch shots are all euphoric and manic.”[5]”. Lol again!
Come come, do I have to explain to you the obvious benefits of the Trinity?

A Bond Girl (they were called “girls” back then, and it was fine) who, unironcally, might cut your NuZz off for little provocation. Back when the Cold War was dangerous, and sex was safe.
God, I miss those days.

The boomer standard will always be the 1969 original version by the dutch group Shocking Blue . (Venus — by Robbie van Leeuwen ) . The way Miriska Veres sang lyrics as “chore desire” is forever burnt into my bong receptors.
Then again , the classic 1967 poster of Rachel Welsh (Fathom) rising from the sea hung on my wall in the pre black-light poster days. Posters of Honey Ryder (Ursula Andress) from Dr. No were scarce to be found ; yet “SHE” was demandingly luscious in 1965 with an unforgettable S&M dip into the flames.
Botticellis’ Venus model Simonetta Vespucci was virginal, but I swing towards the full curved buttocks of the Velasquez /Rokeby Venus. (I have been tempted by Goyas’ Venus, slutty as she is, but Goya faced the Inquisition because of her) https://i.etsystatic.com/19024656/r/il/2ffdd6/2324365952/il_794xN.2324365952_tlif.jpg
“La Maja Desnuda”. Goya ruffled a lot of feathers when he painted her.

If we are talking about stunning women of the memorable past, then Jill Goodacre from Victoria Secret rags in the early 90s has to be in the Top 10 of my lifetime. Anyone who knows me knows I prefer brown women, but Jill is white as a bedsheet, and in her youth, hotter than the surface of the sun.

Who Am I? by Carl Sandburg
My head knocks against the stars.
My feet are on the hilltops.
My finger-tips are in the valleys and shores of universal life.
Down in the sounding foam of primal things I reach my hands and play with pebbles of destiny.
I have been to hell and back many times.
I know all about heaven, for I have talked with God.
I dabble in the blood and guts of the terrible.
I know the passionate seizure of beauty
And the marvelous rebellion of man at all signs reading “Keep Off.”
My name is Truth and I am the most elusive captive in the universe.
Duty, Beauty, Liberty, Country, Honor, Family, Faith — Plus a few simple easy to follow rules for guys
Men saw the stars at the edge of the sea
They thought great thoughts about liberty
Poets wrote down words that did fit
Writers wrote books
Thinkers thought about it
Take it where you find it
Can’t leave it alone
You will find a purpose
To carry it on
Mainly when you find it
Your heart will be strong
About it
Many’s the road I have walked upon
Many’s the hour between dusk and dawn
Many’s the time
Many’s the mile
I see it all now
Through the eyes of a child
Take it where you find it
Can’t leave it alone
You will find a purpose
To carry it on
Mainly when you find it
Your heart will be strong
About it
[Chorus]
Lost dreams and found dreams
In America
In America
In America
Lost dreams and found dreams
In America
In America
In America
And close your eyes
Leave it all for a while
Leave the world
And your worries behind
You will build on whatever is real
And wake up each day
To a new waking dream
Take it where you find it
Can’t leave it alone
You will find a purpose
To carry it on
Mainly when you find it
Your heart will be strong
About it
[Chorus]
Change, change come over
Change come over
Talkin’ about a change
Change, change
Change come over, now
Change, change, change come over
I’m gonna walk down the street
Until I see
My shining light
I’m gonna walk down the street
Until I see
My shining light
I’m gonna walk down the street
Until I see
My shining light
I’m gonna walk down the street
Until I see
My shining light
I see my light
See my light
See my shining light
I see my light
See my light
See my shining light

Thank you for the Bananarama version. 👍🏻
It is the GOLD standard, after all.
Shocking Blue for me.

No. Just no.

Black haired women for me. Skin tone olive or off-white. Madeline Stowe will do.
Pretty young ladies are so cute when they are angry.
Here’s a tribute to yet another Venus Archetype:
Behold the badly flawed Betty Draper.
