Anyone see PBS special on Mae West? - 06/21/20 02:26 PM

I just finished watching it today. I knew the story in bits and pieces. THAT was a strong woman, a true American original, who embraced her sexuality, gay culture, Jazz & Black culture, wrote and produced her own plays and movies and was true feminist icon. I recommend everyone check it out. I’ve become a fan... always liked her but now I want to sit down and watch a few of her movies, even the two from the 1970s, “Myra Breckinridge” and Sexette.”

If you have any doubt about watching Myra Breckinridge let me just say... Raquel Welch at her hottest pegging a guy.

Seriously... Who the fuck cares about anything else.... Early 1970s age Raquel Welch pegging a guy.

.. and have I mentioned the scene where one of the most beautiful women of all time... Raquel Welch... At the height of her power and beauty... Pegs a guy in a major film?

Raquel Welsh did a strap on scene? Wow. I'm sure it was improvised but...wow. Does anyone know if there are links to it out there?

Actually... I have to admit I was totally wrong about this memory. I saw the movie on cable a really, really long time ago (like 30 years... give or take 5) and I think I started watching sometime in the middle but I vividly remember the scene.

Unfortunately, what I never realized until I looked for this scene is that it wasn't a strapon... the Myra Breckinridge character was actually TS... so instead of it being a guy tied to a gurney and taken with a strapon like I remember, it was actually him getting f'd doggie style while in bondage by Raquel Welch as a Pre-OP Transexual.

Anyways, its shot from in front of the actor so it is all simulated... but it stimulated me lots and lots of times after seeing it that one night.





Here is the trailer with the bit of that scene at about 2:15...

i know exactly what you mean about the memory being different from what was actually in the scene. i got the same thing when i watched some of the wonder woman tv show from the seventies.

I advanced to the scene with Raquel. I haven’t watched a movie with her in it in quite some time. Wow.... incredible. I almost forgot how gorgeous she was back then. This is a must-see for me in English, even though the horrid Rex Reed is in it.
