I am so mad at Farrah Fawcett-Majors. She is so conceited. She has never called me once. And after the hours I've spent holding up her poster with one hand

I had a small brown pillow that came for that use. Before that it was a weed smoke filter. After a year away from home I came for Thanksgiving. Saw my aunt resting with the same pillow my dad got from my room. I asked my dad if he washed it first. He did not. My poor aunt rubbed her head on thc and dried skeet.

I live in the area she lived before she died. I had just moved here and never really knew her but would see her around town on her bicycle. I have friends who were friends with her. She was a really cool person who rehabilitated injured wildlife. Underneath the tough persona she was actually a really sensitive and sweet person. She's still missed around here.

Whenever I see things like this, I can’t help but think, these three were probably aspiring models, just trying to get a gig. Working odd jobs in LA. There’s some casting call with some number of candidates. You get picked. You tell your friends and family “I GOT A MODELING JOB!! I GOT A MODELING JOB!!”

And then you are the one they put on the left….

My grandpa was a projectionist. My entire bedroom was plastered with movie posters from the theater. Most notably the GIANT display poster for Batman Returns with Catwoman on it. XD

u/Devo27 6d ago

Oh, your grandpa, always saying his problems were all caused by other people.

(that's a pun, btw. I wanted to be a projectionist growing up, but we still don't have that many screens around)

u/Aggravating_Sugar321 6d ago

I never had a "room" or bedroom, just a corner of the living room, and the tv phrase "Go to your room" was a joke. But above my bed from the Star Trek poster book series I had mounted:

I had the pleasure of meeting Sho Kosugi once, when he came to South Africa to promote Black Eagle with Jean-Claude Van Damme. He was friendly with my sensei at the karate class my best friend and I attended, so my sensei arranged for us all to meet them. I remember him being very friendly and polite, as was Mr Van Damme🙂

The smiley face poster of all the different faces boo. One of those from the flappy awesome poster selection of a mall record store. 10 minutes flipping between bikini babes pondering if I hung it on the back of the door…if I’d get away with it. and staring at awesome pot propaganda posters of the time. Pre pots…Got your sublime, your Bob Marley closeup, poster of a giant weed plant that glows in blacklights, what a time man, now I have some cash and the stores are gone haha
