TV HISTORY

Sophia Loren defied the elements and forced without effort sensuality into a sphere of  influence that whispered to the Goddess buried beneath the Vatican. - Dawn Wolf, Keeper of Stories 8.3.13

During a live performance of the Oscars in 1957 Jayne Mansfield's ample breasts were exposed, caught on camera at the table Sophia Loren shared with the star. It was called the first 'wardrobe malfunction'. Deliberately, Valerie Perrine showed her breasts during the PBS show, Steambath, 4, May 1973. In May 1972 the actress posed for Playboy magazine. August 1981 Valerie Perrine was on the cover of Playboy. During a Super Bowl performance in 2004 Janet Jackson's nipple came out of her outfit. In a blink it was out, and most people missed it. But, still pictures came out showing her full breast with fancy nipple jewelry and a round nipple protruding. So many women were outraged to the point one lady (most likely white) filed claim in Federal court on behalf of millions of Americans suing for millions of dollars for the 'outrage, anger, embarrassment and serious injury'!

Blacks, by the millions, were enraged that the system excused the white singer, Justin Timberlake, from the scandal despite the movements of the dance. Men. I never heard a man complain about Janet Jackson's wardrobe malfunction, but I know there were men upset their children saw Janet Jackson's nipple and her breast. Underneath it all there is a general and shared disgust of women's nipples. It is a cultural thing not shared by every culture upon the globe. In American culture a woman's nipple and her breasts are alternately deplored, praised, or the object of envy, lust, and subject to gross alterations. There is shame embedded in statements made by famous women denouncing, or down playing the significance, and the power of their breasts making declarations that they are not defined by their breasts, or their capacity to birth, and nurture. Is that the attitude of an elitist? Yes? No? Maybe.What is that?

There is an enormous amount of money making pornographic movies for sale, and the film makers, actors, and crew in the porn business are making good incomes. The internet has shot the profitability of porn beyond anything imagined 20 years ago, and a lot of ill-equipped, and technically unsophisticated men, and women are sitting in their houses making money selling sex. A lot of women are more than willing to make a few bucks posing nude or performing some sexual act for the camera to make cash, and a name for themselves. The selling of sex extends into the crime of sex trafficking  and the number of boys, and girls and women stolen to service men in the United States, and other countries is staggering. Pimps are appealing to young men and women in every economic class, and the pimp mentality has cheapened the value of women and subjugated the importance, and sacredness of punany to crude measures, and in some cases, unspeakable degradation. In the midst of all of this whoredom runs its trails through many a church. One of the best places for a whore to pick up a whore is in the church. Alongside all of this is the current generation's women seeking fame as an end unto itself and willing to do anything to be famous, seen, and remembered. Somehow, a number of famous actresses subscribe to leaking video of themselves having sex with someone to enhance their notoriety, and further their careers.

Valerie Perrine, actress

We love our illusions. We, Americans, are elitists uncomfortable with examining our myths, and pretentious enough to be comfortable with our myths irregardless of the damage done to our lives by the spirits we uphold. ~ Gregory E. Woods, Keeper of Stories 8.3.13

This picture was taken at a time actors did not take pictures sitting in bathrooms. If bathrooms were shown on television there'd be no toilet present. This was provocative, daring, and to many immoral a stance for a woman to take. - Dawn Wolf, Keeper of Stories 8.3.13
