The top 2 ladies certainly got my vote – though I was born in 1970 so I was at a more respectable age for lust.
As for Princess Leia?
Nah … I fancied Joey Tempest more.
Joey Tempest I hear you cry. Well that’s Europe’s lead singer – and yes, I am slightly ashamed that I know that, but not as ashamed as having seen them play live about 10 times.
Anyway as I’m not sure if you saw Andy’s response regarding the pics you put up on my blog featuring our 2 fave 1970’s/80’s ladies, I thought I’d put it on here, but I warn you, it should come with a government ‘dreams shattered’ health warning:prepare to have your dreams fucked up with a sledgehammer.

That’s a bit like saying you prefer typewriters to computers. That may well be true, but isn’t it important to move with the times rather than have rigid thoughts?

Not really, there are just things you have connection to based on what stage you were in life.
I love Lost (someone has to) I think the Wire is probably the best piece of telly ever, but I don’t love it as much as Twin Peaks.
I won’t love a band in the same way as the Smiths, but Radiohead mean a lot, but how they feel is as different as being 15 and being 25, and for that matter, being in your thirties loving other stuff.
But the songs that people dance to at weddings are the ones they loved when they were young.
I’m saying context is everything.
But no one was as fit as Erin Grey in her prime (not even Megan Fox)LikeLike

It’s not like that because computers are the younger sexier version of typewriters which is why Andy/NP/me like the best looking, most active and ‘useful’ version of the ladies, not their grandma version. Cough cough.
That aside, sometimes it’s good to have rigid thoughts – of course it’s dependent on a number of factors – but I’m a firm believer that sometimes stubboness is a virtue.LikeLike

I suppose it depends on whether you love your ideal most or whether you love the version that filled your life when that issue was most important.
To put it another way, is our ideal a statement of perfection or the one that has mean most to us in our lifetime?
Anyway, my original comment wasn’t exactly thought out – it was just a way of getting a rigid joke in.LikeLike

And typewriters aren’t sexier, they only do one thing.

Some would say doing one thing well us useful.

And John, your rigid joke was, er, flaccid

Useful for sure, arguably preferable to multiple mediocrity but is it the same as ideal?
I totally accept that when you’re from is as noteworthy as where you’re from. I’m just think whether one is more significant than the other and whether it varies over time is not necessarily constant.
And yes it was flaccid, but perhaps it is a reflection of my life-time scepticism of the idea of all people having a type. I know we can point to people with strings of relationships with similar looking partners, but is that more to do with repeating a first love (or passion) rather than a reflection of innate taste (or ideal)?LikeLike

Nice to see John ruining the comments of someone elses blog for once.

Context Dodds, context. When is important, but so is the person. I love the Smiths, Campbell likes Queen. He doesn’t like Princess Leia.
People adapt to situations and stimulus differently, but that stimulus still matters.
And I like women in shiny jumpsuits. I won’t change my mind, end of discussion.
(Bloody hell, i was making a decent point but it was only an excuse to show some hot seventis totty, next post will be Farah Fawcett)LikeLike

It was and is a very decent point. I was just trying to understand it better. As ever I failed.
