Leif Garrett


HerNameIsBuffy

3,541 views

i want to thank @violynn that I needed Leif Garret circa 1970 something in my life.  

No crushing on him even in the day, but I can appreciate great hair and a fun poppy cover of Runaround Sue.

Leif is indeed on Spotify.  If you see a woman of a certain age singing along with him on her commute tomorrow...it's not me.  Way too dignified for thst.

I had that album til it fell apart.  Not from kissing it, of course.  I still sing "I Was Made For Dancing" while I'm cleaning!

Scott Baio sang?  How did I not know this?  

I was probably too busy being defrauded by his much cuter cousin, Jimmy.

I wasn't allowed to watch Soap because my mom was fundy-lite by then and it was "almost pornography"  but I saw the Bad News Bears in Breaking Training about 900 times.  

And for the cognitive dissonance as to why the Bad News Bears were okay and Soap wasn't...my mom didn't see the movie and I wasn't about to tell her about the stuff of which she wouldn't approve and fortunately none of the busy-bodies at her church were yammering about it like they were Soap.

But Three's Company was fine...because no one was having sex.  I guess my mom thought Larry upstairs was just super hospitable...but for the rest of them it seems about right.  Hell, even the Ropers weren't getting any and they were "allowed."

Yes he did!  I had totally blocked that out!  

And just because it made me laugh here is a Chachi doll sitting on a mailbox...

Chachi's doll is so...beefy.

Did you know that David Soul from Starsky & Hutch also sang?  I may or may not have had that tape.  It was... ...catchy.  Yes, I'm a dork too.

I did not...but that was a show my dad and brother watched so I had to hate it by definition. :)

I believe this is my favorite thread ever.  Now I'm singing "Da do ra run run"...Shaun Cassidy had such a fun pop music cassette, and Shaun and Parker Stevenson were so cute in The Hardy Boys!

We just talked about Marc Singer on one of the doxing threads...because drift...pics, too.

William Katt is the son of the actress Barbara Hale who played Della Street in the old Perry Mason series.  Little trivia for everyone.

Yeah but Soap had an openly gay character -- wasn't that a first for prime time?  That's what I remember it getting lots of attention for.

Hey Deanie and It's only Rock N Roll were among the first songs I grabbed on spottify.  "Let's see some sweat for the boooooys in the band..." will never not be fun.

I may or may not have ruined this album cover by covering it with Bonnie Bell lip smacker.

Yes, Billy Crystal was the first openly gay character on US tv.  It was a bold move, especially for that time.

My mom wouldn't have been weird about that - if there were people living together without marriage (sans clearly no sex and wacky hi-jinks of Threes Company) that would have been the issue for her.

I can top one more thing regarding the V audio cassettes - I would type up what the actors were saying and somewhere in my apartment  I still have those typed up notes :D

I completely understand.  That happened to Leif's albums and all his posters.   I think my most embarrassing moment came when my brother caught me singing (using my curling iron as a micriphone, of course) Olivia N John's "Hopelessly Devoted to You" to my supersized Leif Garrett poster,

Who was into Knots Landing 

I loved Knots Landing, we didn't get a vcr until 1988 and then because my parents were renovating the house and lived in the garage/loft I lived in the house - I would wake up after taping it and watch it at like 4 in the morning

Somewhere I have an audio cassette I made of KISS Meets the Phantom of the Park when it was on TV.  With an old tape recorder just put next to the TV.  There were Polaroids of the screen at various times, but they've been lost to history.

I still have a 16 magazine of Scott Baio's pic somewhere in my closet

      It's also possible Joy was there and requested not to be photographed.

      That was a dreadfully extreme reaction and yes therapy needing or she's among the 1 percent of most selfish people on earth.  Joy has PPD and is getting therapy.  I can see where she mighht not go to the funeral, but support Jill in other ways.

      "Very thoughtful and intentional updates".  That's a load of bullshit.  She wanted her kitchen redone and they were willing to spend six months in a rental to have it just like Braggie wanted it.  If she'd really put thought into it, she would have arranged the kitchen so that it was more child-friendly.  She could have actually had the kitchen designed so it would be easier to prep for meals and clean up afterwards.  I see nothing like that.  It's just new knobs, distressed painting, and old furniture.   (That distressed green door is making me nuts.)  Where are the pull-outs for pan storage?  What about, you know, rounding the damn corners so your little boys aren't always cracking their skulls on the corners as they skid around the kitchen?  What about comfortable seating?  What about a pantry that's closer to the kitchen counter?  What about making the daily dinnerware easier to put away and not using shelves in the kitchen to display your mismatched bowls and cups?  And why is there a bandanna hanging right near a stove burner?

      Didn't she call them "twinbies" as a portmanteau for twin babies? Those are not babies anymore and haven't been for a while. I'm probably just being BEC about this but I do wonder if they'll be babied for as long as Janessa Rodrigues is.

      Yes, they will.  The girls are twinsies and the boys are twinbies.  Abbie thinks that's cute.  She mentioned in a story yesterday that she had to clean some poopy diapers so the boys are nearly four and she still isn't toilet training them.  They will stay babies for a couple more years.

      More proof she has a shopping problem. She sells stuff all the time. Therefore you don’t notice how much she constantly buys. 

      71F60A17-1C43-45B5-A110-45C1615EBB6A.jpeg

      More lies d from Braggie. She constantly complained about her concrete counter top because it was always chipping. She also complained about the paint on the cabinets chipping as well. She has been wanting to redo The Whole kitchen for awhile and a total gut job was not necessary at all. She lies as much as she breathes. 

      8941C41B-4AE6-45B6-A41B-E49E9E798456.jpeg

      I have to add she got two new dishwashers, a new giant fridge and a new $12,000 stove/oven. I’m sure they weren’t broken by the “flood.”
