In search of Farrah Fawcett...



My eldest son and I got caught up with conversations of Playboy, its utility, how women should not be seen as receptacles etc....

Then it hit me...I need to tell HIM something.
In essence, I mentioned to him that in 1995, being a huge fan of Farrah Fawcett, I bought her first nude spread in Playboy magazine. That morning, I had heard on a local AM station (CKGM for those of you who remember them days)that owning that edition of Playboy Magazine (in its sealed bag no less) would be a collectible one day.

... And so with my hubby in tow, we headed to a nearby news stand, purchased the icon's nude spread and came home. I won't go into the sordid detail of how uncomfortable HE was to see me pick up the mag, pay for it and walk home. Surely, I also don't need to mention the number of times HE tried to get his hands on the magazine, regardless of how many times I reminded HIM "it's worth more sealed!"
Well I got so tired of keeping an eye on this sealed copy, that I hid it. In fact, I hid it so well, I can't find it!

Which brings me to my son...I told him that the day I die, to scour the house in search of Farrah. Along with his brother, he has the choice to sell it one day or sit back, with a few brewskies and check out the legendary Farrah! Meanwhile, I have been keeping an eye on Ebay for the mag's current going rate. No one has it sealed on Ebay and the price is set at $26US.

Indeed, time will tell!
