Pardon Me, But I Do Not Have That Look..





Nope, you're wrong Scarface.

And don't talk to me like that.

#TBT G.L.O.W. - Gorgeous Ladies of Wrestling






The Gorgeous Ladies of Wrestling, also known as GLOW or G.L.O.W., was a professional wrestling association for women, and was the first (if not only) all-female wrestling show on television. The show aired for four seasons (1986–1990) and continued in various forms after it left television. Bizarre characters, beautiful and scantily clad women and cheesy comedy sketches all worked to make the series a success. Most of the performers were actresses, models, dancers, and/or stunt women hoping to get into show business.

Each of the GLOW performers had her own rap song (personalized lyrics using the same backing track). It was shown on videotape prior to that wrestler's match.

Shot from the Riviera Hotel on the Las Vegas strip, the women were trained to wrestle by Mando Guerrero, a member of the famed Guerrero family and a star in the American Wrestling Association and other NWA-affiliated territories.

In the pilot episode, the main event included the first GLOW champion being crowned when Tammy Jones defeated Matilda the Hun. Tina & Ashley battled Hollywood and Vine in a battle for that would set the tone for the show.

It was a great match.

The show became known for its campy but highly entertaining gimmick matches including the Russian Roulette match (six-woman tag team elimination match), and the infamous Lingerie Street Fight (AKA the Bra and Panties match) which involved two teams of four women in street clothes. The first team to have all its members stripped down to their underwear was the loser.

With 100% of the fights being choreographed, these women were and became real wrestlers. In some instances, they were really kicking each others asses..










Of course, provocative positions during fights didn't exactly hurt the shows ratings..

In 1991 after its cancellation, GLOW alumnus Ursula Hayden (who competed as Babe the Farmer's Daughter) purchased the franchise with the intention of reviving it. DVDs of episodes of the original GLOW series, along with other related merchandise, are currently sold on the promotion website.


Brett Whitcomb’s new documentary, GLOW, The story of the Gorgeous Ladies of Wrestling profiles the series through its rise and fall, which peaks in 1989 with an abrupt cancellation. According to the trailer there looks to be a plethora of original footage from the series as well as more recent interviews with its former stars. It’s a pretty cool and nostalgic look at a forgotten corner of the wrestling universe.  


Some notable characters on the show were:

Amy the Farmer's Daughter (Trudy Adams)
Babe the Farmer's Daughter (Ursula Hayden—now owns the revived GLOW)
Col. Ninotchka (Lori Weathers) - (BADASS)
Godiva (Dawn Rice)
Hollywood (Jeanne Basone)
Lightning (Cheryl Rusa)
Matilda the Hun (Dee Booher)
Mt. Fiji (Emily Dole)
Palestina (Janeen Jewett)
Sally the Farmer's Daughter (Becky Mullen)
Tina Ferrari (Lisa Moretti)
Vine (Janet Bowers)



May of the ladies went on to become professional wrestlers, minus the campy skits and outfits. Although very politically incorrect, the show was fun and colorful. The women wore revealing outfits that blatantly used sex to sell, but the show still managed to be entertaining and not offensive. 

Gorgeous Ladies of Wrestling, we love you!

WTS.

One of the best "tough woman" scenes of all time..



I was looking over her shoulder and saw her text:

"This isn't my first time at the rodeo with her, she tried to pull that with me too.."

Lol.

I don't know who "she" is or even what she did, but I haven't heard the "rodeo" expression in a long while. It immediately reminded me of the movie "Mommy Dearest." One of the best scenes of the movie is when during a board meeting, Pepsi tries to oust Joan Crawford (Faye Dunaway) from the Board of Directors. Her husband was recently deceased, and they were attempting to retire her.

She was not going to take it lying down. VERY not lying down.

Her facial expressions. The way her mouth twists. Her tone of voice.

Priceless.

#dontfuckwithmefellas

And check out those eyebrows. Woah.

Faye Dunaway, Bravo. This scene is genius. You completely owned it, hands down. Don't think so?


Watch..



Women belong in the bedroom and where?

Yessir.

The Boardroom!

Go Joan.
Go Faye.

Women take shits, but in some cases, women take NO shit.

I would not fuck with that woman ^^^ there. Not even a little.

Happy Friday.

Valentine's Day - The Blood of It





To all the lovers out there, surely this is a special day. Flowers galore. Chocolate and champagne (both of which I'm now allergic to) will surely be flowing in your bedroom tonight.

BUT,

For a sometimes -cynical-about-love- chick like me, fuk all that.

Oh what, you thought this entry was gonna be all cutesy-n-shit cuz it's Valentine's Day?



NOPE.

Valentine's Day experiences aren't always sweet.


With that being said, today we honor Valentine's Day by remembering one of our favorite movies,

1981's cult classic, "My Bloody Valentine".

This movie is corny, ultra-gory, and reeks of early 80's cheesiness.

So basically, it's genius.

A movie to curl up under the covers with your boyfriend, and scare the shit out of yourselves.

Happy Valentine's Day motherfuckers. Love you!




The small town of Valentine Bluffs is seen preparing for a Valentine's Day dance. The town is home to a coal mine where many of the local men work, both young and old. Hanniger, the town Mayor, discusses the Valentine's Day dance with a woman named Mabel Osborne, who runs a laundromat.

Mabel..You in danger girl..
 



Dryer Death scene

With the death of Mabel, the dance is cancelled. T.J. and his group of friends gather at the local bar, where they hear stories from the bartender about Harry Warden and his rampage.

Hanniger makes a vague reference to a past tragedy associated with Valentine's Day, and we learn that this is the first Valentine's dance to be held in decades. 20 years ago, a mining accident trapped five men underneath the ground. 
The accident was due to the negligence of two supervisors who were anxious to get to the Valentine's dance (Rushing to get some booty), having left their posts while the men were still below—Of the five men who were trapped in the explosion, four of them died. A survivor named Harry Warden was rescued, found in a state of mental collapse; the rescue took so long that Harry had resorted to cannibalism to survive, eating the bodies of his dead coworkers. A year later, Harry took his revenge on the two supervisors, killing them with a pick axe and cutting out their hearts, leaving them in decorative Valentine candy boxes and warning the town to never hold another Valentine's dance ever again or else he will keep killing should the warning not be followed.



Newby phones the mental institution where Harry Warden was incarcerated, but there is no trace of him there; his records are lost and his contact cannot tell Newby where Harry is or whatever became of him. Newby and Hanniger fear that Harry Warden has come back to continue his killing spree..


A young couple named John (Rob Stein) and Sylvia (Helene Udy) are making out in the shower area of the mine facility. When John leaves to go get beer, Sylvia is attacked by the miner, who first traps her by dropping miners' coveralls from the ceiling, then ambushes her and viciously impales her head on a shower nozzle.



 


One of the miners, Hollis (Keith Knight) allows some of the others to convince him to take them down into the mine. He heads down there with ...another couple, Michael (Thomas Kovacs) and Harriet (Terry Waterland).

While down there, Michael and Harriet go off into the engine room to make love, and the miner impales them with a large drill bit.








A flashback reveals Axel is the son of one of the supervisors murdered by Harry Warden. As a very young boy Axel was in the room and saw his father's violent death while hiding underneath the bed. The shock apparently snapped his mind, leaving him unstable, his potential for violence unleashed by the recurrence of the Valentine's dance.

The film ends as an insane Axel runs deeper into the mine singing "Daddy's gone away, Harry Warden made you pay" to himself. The screen fades to black and the audience can hear the sound of Harry Warden laughing, revealing that he is still alive and will get his revenge on the next Valentine's Day, but he stops as the credits roll and a ballad for Harry Warden plays with the credits.
