What a bummer.

My favorite Raquel Welch Memory:

When I was a kid of about 6 o 7 in the late 60s/ early 70s, I saw this ad in a comic book. I thought it was THE GREATEST!. I asked my mom if I could have $2.33 and send for it.

Mom did NOT share my enthusiasm.

The best part was Mom blushing, stuttering, and stammering while trying to explain to me - BUT NOT explaining to me at the same time - why this was something "meant for older boys" - as she put it.

I couldn't understand why a pillow should be "age recommended for boys 13 and Up", so I asked Mom since we couldn't get the pillow, could we write and invite her to my next Birthday Party instead.

That was a reasonable compromise, wasn't it? - Sherm Natman
