Thanks. That's more like it -- for me, at least. That girly rear-view photo of Reynolds was giving me the williwaws. I likes a man what looks like a man.
Now -- who remembers, 'cause I don't: At the time this photo was published (I think it was in Cosmopolitan), there was lots of hoo-ha about photos of unclothed men in mainstream publications. It was touted as a women's lib thing, although most women were not all that interested in being swamped with images of naked men on every newsstand, the way the public is innundated with images of naked women. Populist psychologists told us that we women are a tactile, not a visual, branch of the human race when it comes to arousal. Of course, it's all par for the course now, and every "celebrity" has posed, at one time or another, for a magazine cover showing them in various stages of undress, making like they're pulling their pants down.
So -- anyway -- at the time this Reynolds photo was printed, some comedian said "Big deal. What does this picture of Burt Reynolds prove, except that he's left-handed?" Who was it? It's on the tip of my tongue, but I can't quite recall. I sort of thought Jackie Mason, but maybe it was someone more "button-down" like Mort Sahl. Anyone?
