Oh, hell. Disregard the last post. I conflated Fiver’s post with bienville’s and thought you were asking for a cite on his breasts being bigger.
I need to go back to bed. 6:30 is way too early to be conscious.
still waiting on a cite… didnt she appear on some tv show back in the day like thats incredible or something? my roommate and i definitely remember something like that…
I think Real People did a segment on her once. That was the first time I’d seen her out of her Elvira guise. Quite a hottie.
Hehe, I was thinking I could use a couple outfits like that myself…
Yes, they did. This is perhaps my first clear memory of sexually stimulating imagery from when I was a child on the threshold of adolescence. They had a shot of Cassandra in street clothes, not the Elvira getup, walking down the street. She was, um, unencumbered beneath her blouse.
Bobbledy bobbledy bobbledy.
Young me, staring at the TV: :eek: “Why can I not look away? Mind… is… controlled…! Spock!”
Bobbledy bobbledy bobbledy…
The visual is seared into the very cells of my brain. I also clearly remember the way the show was organized, with Byron Allen and Skip Stephenson regularly promising the studio audience throughout the hour that Elvira would be arriving soon, and the camera cutting to the front rows of men waving their fists and cheering lustily.
So, anyway, yeah. They real, yo.
(Not saying she hasn’t had 'em tightened up or whatever as she’s aged. Haven’t followed her career closely enough to know. But at the time, they looked like water balloons wrestling under her blouse.)
A couple of internet searches turned up quite a list of porn sites, but nothing that might be helpful…well, at least not for finding out if her boobs are real or not.
I should have used google’s site search:
Nothing to do with boobs, but:
From this site:
Holy crap, she was in a Fellini movie!
:eek:
OK, this is so sad. I’m a gay male, so the hotness of Elvira and her legendary boobs was completely lost on me. But I grew up in Los Angeles in the late 70s-early 80s, and I was obsessed with Elvira ever since she first appeared on Channel 9 way before you schlubs (;)) got to see her all over the country on the networks.
Elvira is the queen of camp, or she was, before her entire appeal became the boob value alone, and her comedy declined. Now that she’s 55, I sincerely hope her career contines well past the point where she attracts a large percent of the viewership simply because she’s hot. She is, or was, hysterically funny, and I fear her popularity surge was based on sex appeal alone. I want to see her flourish as an old, Vampira-ish hag.
Also remember this: if it weren’t for Elvira, there wouldn’t be shows like Mystery Science Theater 3000.
Oh, geez. Elvira was only the latest in a long, long, long line of “horror hosts” stretching back to Vampira in 1954. Vampira even sued Elvira for stealing her act.
To say that we couldn’t have had MST3K without Elvira is like saying we couldn’t have had cars if not for the Ford Taurus.
Over the years, I’ve come to appreciate the comedy. A relative gave me a copy of the Elvira movie a few years ago. I’d seen it in the theater, but much was lost on me. Oh, I got all the boobshots and dirty jokes. But it’s only with many years of watching cheezy films that I now see that the movie is bad on purpose. The best example is the Flashdance scene. While it would have been simple to edit the scene so that it really did appear that Elvira was performing all the gymnastics herself, it’s editted to make it abundantly clear that she isn’t. During one close up of her face, she actually winks at the camera, acknowledging the joke.
There have been Elvira model kits, an Elvira action figure, and the Elvira comic book is still published. I am rather fond of the Elvira’s big boobs. But, I greatly respect Elvira’s big brain.
I still want that issue of Penthouse she appeared in back when she was Cassandra Peterson though.
I don’t know. I thought your great-grandmother’s boobs were quite lovely.
/runs
Wow, I saw that too, and I totally forgot about until your post. I must have been about the same age, too.
I’ve seen photos that were probably from that session–the color, lighting, gauziness were per the '70s Penthouse standard. Let’s just say she has a lovely figure. :eek: A natural redhead, too! The woman is just overall gorgeous. However, more “modern” guys might say she was a little plump. Twas the style, boys. (I’ve given up on the guys who would say she was disgustingly obese and couldn’t she do something about that sickening mass of pubic hair?)
I recall reading that when the factory that made her bras (off the rack, so to speak) went out of business she bought up all the remaining stock and had to have the ones that were the wrong size altered. Without that particular brand and style she’d be out of business.
I’m 22 which, I suppose, makes me one of those “modern” guys you’re talking about and I didn’t think she looked even the least bit plump in the pictures I googled although I admit I am one of the types that prefers a more kempt garden. Even still, it’s not like she had a 'fro down there so it didn’t detract from her beauty at all.
The guys my age that insist that all women should be size zeroes and think anyone with any extra pounds is automatically fat really annoy the hell out of me. Again, while I admit to preferring thinner women myself, curvy, vivacious, zaftig, or whatever word you want to use them women are hot.
Not ‘plump’ as much as ‘plush.’ Not ‘over-stuffed’ but comfortable with things to hold onto. No knotty calf muscles, no visible bone structure, no risk of lost fertility because she was starving herself. Built like a woman and not like a skinny boy.
Speaking of Vampira, I have to admit I prefer Tim Burton’s girlfriend Lisa Marie (who portrayed Vampira in the Burton film Ed Wood) to Elvira. Anyone know if Lisa Marie’s boobs are real?
Cool! I’m not the only one. Made quite an impression, didn’t it? 
Agreed. I like my women to have handles.
Yeah masonite, Movie Macabre was required viewing in our house, everybody including my parents loved it.
Let’s face it, The Conqueror Worm is not exactly Vincent Price’s best film. But it was hysterical to watch Elvira dissect it before the commercial breaks!
And even though we are in our (late) 30’s, my brother & I will still imitate the “bong-bong-bong-bong” of the gong-banging guy in the Rank logo!
The weekly series was MUCH more fun than the movie IIRC.
Hijack
Not his very best, no. But it did feature a reasonably decent performance from Price. His tendencies towards hamminess were more curbed than usual, leaving a decent portrayal of creepy, cynical evil. IMHO :).
I’d buy that one on DVD. Then again I own both of the very over-the-top Dr. Phibes films, so there is no accounting for taste ;).
