Afterward I was so scared that I might have come on my mom's catalog... Death would have been the result. God, I didn’t realize my memory was that good…

Jean Shrimpton’s modeling career predates me by at least several years! If I had known of her I probably would have cut those pages out and put them on the wall of my room. My biggest “crushes” in the 80’s were Christie Brinkley, Heather Thomas, Nancy Wilson, and Debbie Gibson (the 80's "Hannah Montana" LOL). I got to meet Heather at something I went to with my dad. Maybe ’87 or ’88. This was long after “Fall Guy.” She was super sweet and I was totally in awe of her. I still have the autographed pic. I’m sure she thought a certain 7 or 8 year old was quite the precocious little shit…

The period from maybe the forties through the eighties is perhaps the “great” era of glamour. Maybe that’s why we enjoy so many of the drag queens—they bring back the femininity and sexuality of that time.

I really identify with this, Andy. I used to steal my parents' clothing catalogs too!

You're right. In the "good old days" a boy had to creative in finding jack off material. No internet and being too young to buy magazines like Playboy and Penthouse had me looking all over for, uhhh, "inspiration". There was some stuff on TV like sexy music videos but it was hard to catch them. I think my favorite at the time was the "I'm Your Venus" video from Bannarama. I would go crazy with lust over the girl in the Devil costume. Here's a link to that awesome video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NkcU2_Vs7Xw

Christie Brinkley was another favorite, along with some of the Sports Illustrated swimsuit models. I had a Christie Brinkley calendar (1984 maybe?) that had a shot of her in a gold one piece bathing suit. God how I loved that picture!

I totally identified with your worrying about ruining your mom's catalog. I had a similar experience with my folks. They were big opera fans and I remember finding a stack of Opera News back issues in the attic one day. A lot of people think it's just fat ladies but let me tell you there are some stunningly beautiful women that sing opera too! I jacked off to those magazines all through adolescence.

So yeah, it's no surprise I like drag queens.

My "source" for Playboy, Penthouse, and Hustler was my friends older brother. I would sneak them into my bedroom rolled up and stuck in my socks.

I had carefully made a slice in the fabric of my box springs and kept them in there. My friend stuck them between his mattresses and was quickly "busted" by his mom. Whether or not my mom ever discovered them and said nothing remains a mystery to this day. The lengths we went to just to get off... Sigh...

Showing my age but the first electronic source for porn I encountered was "Usenet" from about 89-92. Wonder who else on here ever searched "alt.binaries.pictures.erotica" for example?

Checked out "Opera News." I definitely see the appeal. Actually these women are huge stars and very glamorous--and mega talented. In fact, unless I'm mistaken, Opera is where the term "Diva" originated.

Had forgotten about Bannarama. Yes I had a crush on the middle girl. I also had a poster of Belinda Carlisle ("Heaven is a place on earth"). You should also check out the 60's version of "Venus." Mariska Veres is the singer. She is hot.

Maybe we should create a thread for "early experiences with porn" or something. I'm sure most of us have something to share... Including pics.

Now to get this thread back on track. Enjoy these pictures of RuPaul.

That middle picture of Queen Ru on her throne is keeper

Thanks for bringing it back to drag, Andy. And thanks for the new thread. I'll definitely weigh in over there

Great thread! I got into RPs Drag Race kind of reluctantly, I actually thought I'd hate it, but started to get into it and now I love it :D
I've been to see some of the Queens from it when they visit the UK and have seen Adore Delano in particular several times.

Faves include Courtney Act, Farrah Moan, Bianca Del Rio and obviously Adore

Nice! Enjoy these then!
