“There is Sex in Here”
Earlier today, while the rest of the world focused on MJ’s funeral plans, (some are saying up to a million mourners could pour into Los Angeles, making it bigger than Elvis and Princess Diana…I sure am glad I’m leaving for Italy Thursday!!) Farrah Fawcett was remembered in a private funeral mass downtown. I was in the 6th grade and had just turned 11 years old on September 22, 1976 when Charlie’s Angels premiered on television. I was instantly smitten with all of the “Angels” and Farrah Fawcett held a special fascination for my prepubescent self. Perhaps it was the diva in her that attracted me, but nevertheless in that Bicentennial year, it was all “Angels” all the time for me and much of America. I collected photos and clippings from every magazine I could find, and kept them in a special box that I made that looked like this:
Hubba Hubba Baby Doll!I had actually forgotten about that box until recently when I opened a childhood safe that my brother recently came across and delivered to me from Chicago! Taylor was nice enough to film the big event:
Here are some other photos from the weekend. Claudio & Ryan are coming tomorrow with Chazz. Claudio will take me to the airport Thursday morning to catch my flight to Rome. Ciao Bello!

” Are you sure this isn’t preplanned? ” HAHA that video was hilarious!! Its a pity I dont keep most of my childhood things. Well i better start stocking up in the late teens section! I should buy a safe ;P
I should create a Vanessa Carlton box. ” There is musical talent in here…and sex too! ” :)
HAHA good one. Enjoyed this post, made me release stress for my exam! :D Mint.
thx.
@Loltothepower - If you buy a safe Jin, make sure to put Andy’s snowman in there!
Good luck on Physics.
@LoveYouLove94BbLoveHerman - Thank you!
is the tape on the box 30 years old too? all those collections were adorable!
great stuff – Farrah was born the same year i was – lol. wish i could find an old treasure box like that – that would be an interesting adventure in time travel. cute pix especially the little girls at the fountain. tell the pope i said hi when you’re in Rome. peace, Al
hahaha “sex in here”. With all that stuff written on that box I’m sure someone would have been extremely curious about opening it.
HAHAHA i cant believe u still remember the lock combo! poor Fawcett, only had one picture and was the smallest, some fan boy you were. LOL jk
Haha, excellent box.
“There is sex in here.” O_O
I still think it’s amazing that you remember the combination.
That’s pretty neat though, it would be fun to open a box from childhood/the teen years to reminisce.
Wow…you really keep good “record” of your stuff! I wish I still have my childhood robots and toy soldiers around!
lovely
That video was hilarious and the box too! Aww… cute dogs!! :D The little spider man is so cute <3
@Shades_of_Athena - Yes, that tape is probably older than you! :)
@pukemeister - I think this Pope is a big closet case! I was a few feet away from the other one in the Vatican 15 years ago, and he had a presence. This guy, not so much!
@Roadlesstaken - Yep, I’m sure someone broke in and pilfered some pics. LOL
@Sc12EeN17aM3 - LOL, I had more, I swear! Not sure what happened to them!
@beatingdrums - Thanks! Happy 4th.
@curry69curry - I was always very organized. Thanks Gary.
@mr_faust - Grazie
@Got_Takoyaki - That kid was adorable. Thanks!
@CareyGLY - probably all worn out from being “sexed” lol
Wait a minute… after 30 years, you still remember the combination? Hmmm…. *raises eyebrows*
It’s so funny. You lovely guy! Like you, I also kept a lot of my childhood stuff in a box and sealed it before I came to U.S. I want to store and show them to my kids when I become an old guy. Haha…That should be very interesting and I think maybe some stuff they will never see.
