Here we have a photo from an episode of The Sonny & Cher Show back in 1977 when Farrah Fawcett appeared as a guest. In it, Farrah and Cher played talking storefront mannequins! Both iconic beauties donned glamorous dresses and makeup, but of course the move awkwardly because they are mannequins. So, the deal is, no one can know that they are actually alive so when humans are around they have to stay perfectly still, but once alone, they can reanimate. Then two guys come in and they start messing around in the store and reposing the mannequins... as you can imagine things got uncomfortable.

Pt. 2 Our Photographic Feature On "Clever Graffiti" 
The First Two are more in the Category of "Chalk Art"

Look Closely at Below
The World Going Down the Drain
More Clever Graffiti Up Shortly
----------------------------

Here's a classic of actors Paul Newman and Robert Redford playing ping-pong back in 1969. The two leading men were on the set of 'Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid' at the time. 
This American Western was directed by George Roy Hill and is loosely based on the real Wild West outlaws Robert LeRoy Parker, known as Butch Cassidy (Paul Newman), and his partner Harry Longabaugh, the "Sundance Kid" (Robert Redford). After a string of train robberies, the partners in crime go on the run with Sundance's lover, Etta Place (Katharine Ross), and head to Bolivia to continue their criminal careers. 
Here's a nice shot of a sultry looking Raquel Welch lounging around back in 1967. Welch may have been one of the most popular sex symbols of 1960s and 1970s. In a sea of blonde bombshells, Welch broke the mold of what it meant to be a sex symbol. Despite her impressively long resume, she'll probably always be best remembered for her role in "One Million Years BC." 
She was in Bedazzled (1967), Bandolero! (1968), 100 Rifles (1969) and Myra Breckinridge. She won a Golden Globe Award for Best Motion Picture Actress in a Musical or Comedy in 1974 for her performance in The Three Musketeers. She was cast in Right to Die in 1987, and was nominated for a Golden Globe Award for Best Actress in Television Film for her performance.
Welch also took on the fitness industry with "The Raquel Welch Total Beauty and Fitness Program." In more recent years she's taken on the business world, launching her own signature line of wigs, jewelry, and skincare products. Welch was also selected as the newest face of MAC Cosmetics Beauty Icon series. 
Here we have a 21-year old rock 'n roll legend named Buddy Holly back in 1958, whose life was cut tragically short by a plane crash just one year after this photo was taken. 
Buddy Holly is considered a pioneer in rock and roll, during his short career, Holly wrote, recorded, and produced his own material. He is often regarded as the artist who defined the traditional rock-and-roll lineup of two guitars, bass, and drums. 
Holly influenced some of rock's greatest contributors like the Beatles, The Rolling Stones, Elton John, and Bob Dylan.  Holly was among the first artists inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, back in 1986, and  Rolling Stone magazine ranked him number 13 on their "100 Greatest Artists" list.
Pictured here is a graceful Meryl Streep in the film Manhattan back in 1979, (which was written, directed, and starred Woody Allen). This romantic comedy is often considered one of Allen's best films and it tells the story of a twice-divorced 42-year-old comedy writer (Allen) who dates a 17-year-old girl (played by Mariel Hemingway). As if that wasn't scandalous enough, he ends up falling in love with his best friend's mistress (Diane Keaton). 
Meryl Streep and Anne Byrne also star in this critically acclaimed film. Manhattan was nominated for two Academy Awards: Best Supporting Actress for Hemingway and Best Writing, Screenplay Written Directly for the Screen for Allen and Brickman.
Moonraker is the eleventh installment in the James Bond series to be produced by Eon Productions. It was fourth to star Roger Moore as James Bond and it co-stars Lois Chiles, Michael Lonsdale, Corinne Cléry, and Richard Kiel. In it, Bond investigates the mid-air theft of a space shuttle and what he discovers is a plot to commit global genocide and re-create humanity with a master race. Moonraker was noted for its incredibly high production cost for the time. The film cost $34 million, which is almost twice the cost of its predecessor The Spy Who Loved Me. It eventually became the highest-grossing film of the entire series at sales of $210,300,000 worldwide. That record wasn't beaten until 1995, with GoldenEye

Key West Resident & Famous Author Carrie Jo Howe
"ISLAND LIFE SENTENCE"

AMAZON Link 




Peg Savage has contractually agreed to move to Key West, Florida. The smudged signatures on the damp cocktail napkin are irrefutable proof. 
"An adventure..." her husband Clark says.  
Peg can't swim; she's afraid of bridges (there are 42 of them); and she doesn't want to leave her friends. However, after a bottle of Cabernet, a move from Chicago to the southernmost city in the United States seems like the best decision ever.

But now Clark has taken a long term job in Cuba and she's on her own.
Neither her dog Nipper, nor the ghosts in the attic, offer up any good advice. But how hard can it be living in paradise?  
Peg dives into island life but the more effort she makes, the wider her wake of catastrophes. She is tortured by a paddle board, a giant poisonous toad, the local Conservation group, and the patron saint of hurricanes. Not to mention the persistent sweat rash under her left breast. 
A tropical depression descends on the island - one that can't be cured with medication. Peg must gather her strength if she has any hope of surviving the storm.

We Now Continue with "A Look Back at the 60's and 70's in Photos"

Actress Elizabeth Victoria Montgomery had a career that spanned five decades. She will always be best remembered as the charming, witchy housewife Samantha Stephens on the television series Bewitched in the 60's. Her work on the paranormal comedy series earned her five Primetime Emmy Award nominations and four Golden Globe Award nominations!
That wasn't the first time Elizabeth was recognized for her talent, she won a Theater World Award for her 1956 Broadway debut in the production Late Love. She also earned Emmy Award nominations for her work in the television films, A Case of Rape (1974), in which she played Ellen Harrod, and The Legend of Lizzie Borden (1975) in the title role.
Aren't they both just the cutest? Here we have little Timmy and his heroic Collie named Lassie, both of whom warmed the hearts of faithful viewers from 1954 and 1973. 
The show followed the adventures of Lassie and the shenanigans of her human companions. Whatever stress-inducing scenario that would send Lassie dashing off to get help, there would always be a happy, relief-filled ending for audiences. 
Lassie still remains a classic and after all this time it is still the fourth longest-running U.S. primetime television series after The Simpsons, Gunsmoke, and Law & Order.
Here we have the Swedish beauty Britt Ekland back in 1966. In addition to acting and singing, Britt Ekland was a sex icon and had quite the high profile socialite. She married actor Peter Sellers in 1964, starred in the cult classic horror "The Wicker Man" and was later a Bond girl in "The Man with the Golden Gun." She dated Rod Stewart for a time and was even said to be the inspiration for his 1977 1 hit song, tonight's the night (gonna be alright). She's now 74-years old and has authored a few books over the years including, "True Britt", "Sensual Beauty: And how to Achieve it" and "Sweet Life".

Very few things can pull people together than laughter and boy Robin Williams sure was the master of doing just that. No matter who you were or how your day had unraveled you could turn on an episode of Mork and Mindy and laugh it all away with family... and the rest of the country because just about everyone else was watching too. Nielsen ratings were very high, ranking at 3. Mork & Mindy was Robin Williams' first big break. This comedic role launched his career and propelled him towards his future greatness. Williams played the role of Mork from Ork, a bumbling alien who moves in with an earthling named Mindy. The roomies attempt to maintain a normal household which goes about as well as expected.

Princess Caroline Louise Marguerite Grimaldi is the eldest child of Rainier III, Prince of Monaco, and former actress Grace Kelly. Until the births of her niece Princess Gabriella and her nephew Prince Jacques of Monaco in December 2014 she was heir presumptive to the throne of Monaco, a position which she previously held from 1957 to 1958. In 1999, Caroline married Ernst August, Prince of Hanover, the heir to the former throne of the Kingdom of Hanover, and the heir male of George III of the United Kingdom.

More Photos from the 60's & 70's
Angie Dickinson in a publicity still for Jean Negulesco's 'Jessica', 1962. Angie played the title character: "the women of a small Sicilian village, jealous of a beautiful widowed midwife, plot her ruin by refusing to have anything to do with their husbands." 
Angie began her career in various television anthologies back in the 50's before landing her breakthrough role in "Gun the Man Down" (1956) and the 1959 Western Rio Bravo, for which she received the Golden Globe Award for New Star of the Year.
Over the course of her six-decade career, Dickinson has appeared in over 50 films in addition to her television work. In addition to Jessica (1962), her resume boasts big titles such as Ocean's 11 (1960), Point Blank (1967), Sabrina (1995), and Pay it Forward (2000) to name a few. 
Here's a young and beautiful Jessica Lange rocking a fur coat back in 1976. At this point in her career, the now-iconic actress was just gaining fame for her role in the 1976 monster film, King Kong. It was a (then) modern remake of the 1933 film of the same name. Of all three of the King Kong movies, the 1976 version is the only one to feature the World Trade Center instead of the Empire State Building. It was a commercial hit, in fact, it was the fifth highest-grossing film of 1977 and it won the Academy Award for Best Visual Effects. It was also nominated for Best Cinematography and Best Sound.
Here's a goodie from back in the day of comedic actor Steve Martin. Remember that old sketch 'The Festrunks' with Martin and Dan Aykroyd? It was a recurring sketch on Saturday Night Live that debuted in 1977. It followed Yortuk (Aykroyd) and Georg (Martin), two brothers who had emigrated from Czechoslovakia to the United States. 
The hilarity comes from their interactions. Two culturally inept brothers go out to various social events and bars to meet attractive American women ("foxes"), however, they are too obnoxious to get very far. Their catchphrase says it all "We are, two wild and crazy guys!!"
Ah yes, the wonderful Olivia Newton-John, just hanging out back in 1971. After starring in the musical film Grease in 1978, her life would be forever changed. She became  America's sweetheart over night. Soon she was a pop-culture icon and eventually, she became the four-time Grammy award winner she is today. 
Olivia Newton-John remains one of the world's best-selling artists of all time. She has also been a long-time animal rights and environmental activist and after going into remission from breast cancer, she became an advocate for health awareness and driving fundraising efforts.
Released in 1966, The Rare Breed is a western film starring James Stewart, Maureen O'Hara, Brian Keith, Juliet Mills and Ben Johnson. It's loosely based on the life of rancher Col. John William Burgess. It centers on Martha Price's (O'Hara) attempt to actualize her deceased husband's dream and introduce Hereford cattle to the American West. The synopsis goes on to detail: "An English woman and her daughter enlist the aid of a cowboy to try and get their hardy hornless bull to mate with the longhorns of Texas, but have to overcome both greedy criminals and the natural elements."
Grace Kelly spent six years as an actress during the 1950's before becoming the Princess of Monaco. A stylish, stunning, brilliant actress, who turned into a real-life Princess? Of course, Americans fell in love with her. Although, she was adored long before her marriage to Prince Rainier III, her love story just reinforced her iconic status.
It was 1953 when she gained stardom In the film Mogambo, a performance which won her a Golden Globe Award and an Academy Award nomination in 1954. Subsequently, she had leading roles in five films: The Country Girl (1954), High Noon (1952), Dial M for Murder (1954), Rear Window (1954), To Catch a Thief (1955) with Cary Grant, and High Society (1956) with Frank Sinatra and Bing Crosby.

She is currently enrolled at Arizona State University studying psychology and writing.

"Luxury Graffiti" by Stephen Wilson 34 X 45 Mixed Media on Designer Boxes

Stephen Wilson is a mixed-media artist best known for his artistic exploration of the intersections between traditional craft and contemporary culture through blended use of handicraft techniques with modern technologies and pop iconography.  High fashion influences are quite prevalent in his work.  His redefinition of textile and embroidery-based art forms evokes questions regarding luxury consumerism and high-low art distinctions.

Key West Art & Historical Society Distinguished Speaker Series Guest Dr. Pamela Stephenson Connolly to present "The History, Culture, and Politics of BDSM"
 
 
Key West's 10-day long extravaganza of exuberant and sensual Fantasy Fest parties and parades create the foundation for Key West Art & Historical Society's adult-only, Distinguished Speaker Series presentation, "The History, Culture, and Politics of Bondage/Domination/Sadomasochism," by psychologist, sexologist and sex therapist Dr. Pamela Stephenson Connolly from 6:00PM-7:00PM on October 25 at Key West Theater, 512 Eaton Street.
 
Dr. Connolly will discuss her research on the subject and reveal fascinating facts about the nature and role of BDSM among couples. For adults over 21 only, this exciting lecture promotes a fun, utterly frank and positive view of BDSM. But there is also an important message: In gaining insights and an educated perspective into the beliefs, and mythologies regarding BDSM, one can better understand one's own sexual mysteries.
 
Tickets are $20.00 for Society members and $25 for non-members, and can be reserved at KWAHS.ORG (click on "Tickets" tab).

City Manager Jim Scholl took the opportunity during the recent city commission meeting to present Dedrick Bethea a gold watch for his 20 years of service to the City.  Bethea began his career with the City in 1998 as a maintenance worker at the Key West Bight. Within six months he was promoted to a Tech I, and by 2011 ye was named a foreman and began heading up the maintenance department for the Bight.  "Dedrick was around when the Bight was just starting out and he witnessed it going from a pretty rough seaport to what it is today," said Port and Marina Director Doug Bradshaw. "He was a big part of those improvements and the growth of the Bight."   
Bradshaw noted that Bethea will be retiring from his position on October 19 th"Dedrick went and got married this past February and also became a deacon at his church," said Bradshaw. "He and his lovely wife will be headed to Queens New York where they will live. Dedrick, we thank you for your 20 years of service and we wish you all the luck."
