You would possibly wish to sit down — Instagram account @retrodiaries80 has unearthed a replica of the 1980 Playgirl subject that includes comedy cowl boy Chevy Chase. Va va va voom!
There’s lots to unpack right here however the place to start out? How in regards to the picture of bedroom-eyed Chase embracing Jane Seymour, sensuous fingers working by her luxurious locks? Kinda attractive till you keep in mind that in 1980, Chase and Seymour had been costarring within the child flick Oh Heavenly Canine. Twentieth Century Fox made a film with Chase and lovely canine star Benji and determined to put it up for sale on the duvet of Playgirl? No surprise it bombed.
Certainly a totally clothed Chase can be a disappointment to the thousands and thousands — okay, hundreds — of Playgirl readers who hoped that its pages would possibly reveal components of Chase that weren’t prepared for prime time. A brilliant pink graphic on the duvet teases one thing titillating: SPECIAL MYSTERY CELEBRITY CENTERFOLD! Chase certified as a celeb — might the previous Saturday Night time Dwell star be the thriller man with a staple by his navel?
Alas, no. Mr. August was somebody named Andy Abrams, a reputation that doesn’t flip up on IMDb so how a lot of a celeb might he be? An eBay itemizing for the problem (it may be yours for $18.99!) reveals that Andy Abrams is also called porn star Randy West, “smooth as a jungle cat and nearly as wild.” Nonetheless extra thriller than superstar, in the event you ask me.
In keeping with the eBay itemizing, Chase was interviewed on this subject of Playgirl, however I couldn’t discover a transcript. (Would you actually need his foreplay suggestions anyway?) The quilt is extra express about its dialog with Shirley MacLaine: “Why It Takes Extra Than One Lover to Fulfill Warren Beatty’s Huge Sis!” The difficulty’s on-line vendor makes use of quite a lot of capital letters to persuade patrons that this specific Playgirl is value your time, even in the event you don’t get a peek at Chevy’s chode. “HAIRY HUNKY EXECUTIVE MEN NUDE! OVER 10! MEN OF THE 80s CONTEST! 20 MEN!!! GREAT ISSUE!”
Then once more, there won’t be a lot of a market. As one Instagram commenter famous in regards to the subject, “It’s all dicks, weight-reduction plan and dudes I don’t wish to see bare.”
