Early Experiences - What turned you on?

We watched this over at a friends in late 1990. His dad traveled a lot and we used to watch VHS tapes (anyone remember those?) in their rec room. They had an "ancient" 3 beam projection TV so it was sort of like a theater. Great place to hangout for a bunch of kids.

Julia Roberts herself no doubt belongs in the "Divas" thread but I thought the movie belonged here mostly because of the influence she had on me when I was very young. She was one of my first huge "crushes."

More 70's fashion. From Pinterest.

Nice. Wonder who she is?

Jesus God. OK. Get me a time machine. Now.

I've always hated disco. Maybe I should rethink that?

Farrah! One of my biggest crushes of all time. The old Nike's are cute too. RIP Beautiful Angel.

Very sexy. Just need to get rid of the two asshole losers.

Doesn't do anything for me but my cat's gone into heat...

(I think my new girlfriend sitting on the car may be a "modern" retro pic. But who cares...)

More vintage Levi’s ads. According the the site I got these from, some ads were never used because of the censors. Wonder which ones?

Yes, I know where you were looking… So was I.

Supposed to be from 1964. Does it look like it’s a more modern ad to you?

Can’t read it but the girl is super hot. Guy on the right looks too old for her. Can’t complain about the other guy’s hair. Great style!

Didn’t know my mom was in a Levi’s ad when she was a teenager.

Saving the best for last. Guess which two probably didn’t make it past the censors? This one must have been for the US “Bicentennial” in 1976.

Bet everyone would have remembered this ad. (Mom: “Andy? Why are the pages in my ‘Women’s Day’ stuck together?” Me: “Gotta get to football practice mom. Bye!”)

Those (or they) are real Levi's and it shows.

Thanks. That makes sense. Yes, I believe you.

(Secretly I was hoping it was something dirty... )

From 1969. Fuck Starbucks, I'm going to this place.

(You do know which one, don't you? )

They are probably cringey and offensive by today's standards, but when I was a kid, I was always drawn to those episodes of Maury and Jerry Springer where they did the whole "man or woman" thing. I haven't thought about it in a while, but those were probably some of my first exposure to anything trans related.
