Part-time-model, unruly brat and general pretender, Shaun Oakes, chirped me the other day in the comment section of an article, after I revealed that I was in matric in 1994 (it happened to be Freedom Day and I was discussing the 1994 election). He was going for the tried and tested, “are you that old” vibe – which is to be expected, given his 4/10 score on the 2OV “Quality Humour” charts. That’s of course when he is using his own material and not rummaging through the 2OV archives, in an ongoing and futile quest to raise his game.
That aside, I am pleased to report another coincidental item on the agenda, relating to my particular vintage. My boy Deems sent in the 1977 Victoria’s Secret catalogue – which just happens to be from the year of my birth. So before you all grab your calculators to work it out, I would prefer to give you my age in the same format that my grandmother uses – I am officially twenty thirteen!
Just the way I like it
On that note, I would like you to check out this pic from the 1977 Victoria’s Secret catalogue. Pretty sexy stuff, I must say. God, but the dames were cute back then. But, more than anything, it is yet another strong reminder that we should do absolutely everything in our power to bring back the bush.
Contrary to what you might be thinking, the pics are absolutely fine for office viewing!
No Brazilians in those days. No Siree..
And that’s nothing – you should check out the rest of the catalogue – nighties et al!
