Wild beasts

Another favorite Tarzan passed away. Gordon Scott, 80, starred in Tarzan the Magnificent, which I loved. He was once married to Vera Miles, who I loved in Psycho. Johnny still is my best friend, but there's always room for many Tarzans.

I was thinking the other day about my first awareness about sexuality. It occured when I watched this movie called "the Dream Merchants" on BTV. I don't remember what the movie was about, except that everyone looked right out of the Waltons. The hero, a film broker or something was in his room changing out of his clothes. This woman walks into the room. The hero picks up his shirt, and covers his chest. She giggles. They finally get married, I think. The scene left a lasting impression. For a long time, I thought that the chest must be a private part of the body, not to be shown to others, something to be embarassed about.

And there's Tarzan revealing every part of the chest without a care.

Must be nice, living in Africa.
