In which a group of graying eternal amateurs discuss their passions, interests and obsessions, among them: movies, art, politics, evolutionary biology, taxes, writing, computers, these kids these days, and lousy educations.

Free Views -- Apartment House Wresting

Friedrich --

"WARNING - This site contains images of women in bikinis, underwear, or semi-nude and engaged in boxing, wrestling, and general mayhem towards each other." How to resist such a come-on? I didn't, and had a very good time browsing the galleries of a very sweet website devoted to what's known as Apartment-House Wrestling, viewable here.

Thea vs. Leonora, 1972

Though I confess that I'm still uncertain exactly what Apartment-House Wrestling was. A '70s-'80s tacky entertainment form that I apparently completely missed out on at the time: Gals in bikinis, etc, wrestling each other in apartments. (Fan of bikinis and gals though I am, I think I enjoyed the glimpses of the era's apartments just as much.) But are the stills that are on display taken from movies? Or were the wrestling matches staged just to generate the stills? And how was the material circulated? Under the counter, as a kind of soft-core, Betty Page-ish porn? Perhaps "Dr. Chin," who is apparently still fine-tuning the site, would consider including a page of information answering such basic questions?

Best,

Michael
