Blondes vs. Brunettes #24 - Head Scissors#1


Thanks for checking out this week’s Blondes vs. Brunettes blog. 

 
There is SOOOO MUCH to cover ………….

First, just in the way of breaking news, tomorrow starts the 4th annual Blonde vs. Brunette Chess Tournament that has been held in Moscow as part of the World Chess Tournament since 2011. The first match was won by the brunettes; the blondes came back to win in 2012 and last year’s tournament was a draw.  So the blondes and brunettes are in a dead heat with each other.  Hopefully, this year one of the teams will charge ahead and take the lead.  I won’t go on any further because this is already on our blog schedule in a couple of weeks.

-------------------------------------------------------


You recall last November there were two blog posts regarding the Washington D.C. Blondes vs. Brunettes Powderpuff football game which is a fund raising event in support of the Alzheimer’s Association.  Well, over the holiday, the official photos were posted on line – they’re obviously much better than the rinky-dink pictures that I took at the event – so I have put some of these up for you.  Also, the game raised $96,000 which is pretty darn good since it just one out of maybe ~ 25 cities in the country that host the game.  I realize that many of you live near these cities so I encourage you to support the event … take a few buddies and tailgate with the blondes, the brunettes or both!!

Recent news and/or upcoming events:

  • Bakersfield, California.  The first Bakersfield Blondes vs. Brunettes football game was played on March 8th.  No word on who the won the game, but $17,332 was raised in support of the Alzheimer’s Organization.
  • Boston, Mass.  The Boston chapter held their preseason party at Boston Beer Works on Canal Street, February 20th.
  • Charlotte, North Carolina.  Draft party announced for April 3, 2014 @ The Tavern on Morehead Street in Charlotte.
  • Cleveland, Ohio.  Blondes vs. Brunettes Cleveland's 2014 game will be held on Saturday, June 7 at 11 a.m. on Cleveland State University’s Krenzler Field.
  • Houston, Texas.  Game time is 12 noon, April 26th, at the Carl Lewis Field, University of Houston.
  • Jackson, Mississippi. The Alzheimer's Association, Mississippi Chapter, held their 2014 Kick-Off Party on March 6th at the Parlor Market in Jackson.  The Draft Party is scheduled for April 10th at the Iron Horse Grill.
  • Lubbock, Texas.  The Alzheimer's Association is working to hold Blondes vs. Brunettes game on Saturday, June 21, at the Jones AT&T Stadium.  They are also holding a draft party Tuesday, Apr. 1, at Buffalo Wild Wings on 19th Street. It's an opportunity for girls to learn more information.

OK, that’s enough for now, but I do plan to provide weekly updates on this very worthwhile charity.  If you live near one of these cities, please support the girls of your choice:  Blondes or Brunettes!
------------------------------------------------------------
I don’t know about you, but I’ve always been a leg man.  Breasts are nice too, but great legs drive me nuts. 

Years ago it was easier to appreciate the fine lines and forms of the female leg, but short skirts have become less popular as time passes. Indeed, of the many changes society has gone through over the years few things have torqued me off like the migration of female wait staffs from skirts to slacks.

Yup, that’s right.

I get livid just thinking about it. Having waitresses wear black slacks is a national tragedy just short of Pearl Harbor and 9-11.

Hard for younger folks to believe it, but right up through the early 90s almost all female wait staffs wore skirts, often quite short. In some fancy places, they wore dresses slit all the way up the side. As an example, Boston had a restaurant called “The Top of the Hub” which was on the top floor of the Prudential Building. The entire dining room staff was outfitted in gowns slit on both sides all the way to the top of their thighs.

The Top of the Thighs at the Top of the Hub – those were the good old days!

One of my first jobs when I was teenager was at a Sheraton hotel that had a lobby bar and a regular bar attached to the dining room.  Every cocktail waitress, of which there always seemed to be 5-10 on shift at any given time, wore a mini skirt, dark nylons, and heels. As a 14 year old cleaning guy, I loved working the lobby and watching the gals strut back and fro with flashing their legs. These days you have to go to a casino to find these outfits, but they were much, much more common ‘back in the day.’
 
 
The maids were dressed nice too, all in mid thigh skirts, sans heels of course. One of the first truly serious make out sessions I had in my life was with one of those maids, a gal who was three years older than me.  An olive skinned, brown eyed brunette.

** I was helping her clean a room.**

:)

Man, I was in heaven. Blondes and brunettes in minis and heels. I used to grade their legs on a scale of 1-10; seems that blondes almost always came out on top.  Blondes always, and I mean always, had better calves. But I told myself, “Well, the brunettes had better thighs.”

Mmmmmm ... really?

But whose legs were stronger?  

Of course, I always thought the brunettes had stronger, more powerful legs.  Even after that famous conversation I had with my baby sitter (October’s blog entry) and despite the fact that I had seen some brunettes come out on the losing end of a few battles with blondes, I always thought the brunettes were physically stronger.

But let’s get back to those female waitresses. To give you an idea of what I’m talking about, check out this clip from Honey West episode “A Million Bucks in Anyone’s Language”.  Now I’m not suggesting that every fast food place back in the mid 60s featured waitresses that looked this good or were so scantily attired and even if they were, the mid 60s were before my time so how the hell would I even know?  But certainly in the 70s you would see wait staffs skimpily dressed such as the girls that worked in the Sheraton.
By the way the brunette in this clip is a lady by the name of Judy Kane.  Her character’s name was “Dottie.” 
I’ve looked her up on the internet every which way and it seems that she only has one appearance in her illustrious TV/movie career and that would be this episode of Honey West.
I’m not kidding.  That’s it
There are dozens of Judy Kanes out there selling real estate, raising families and such and several have died in the past couple of decades, but I have no idea which one is which.
http://www.mediafire.com/watch/w4l3xchzipqfai9/Now_That's_a_Waitress!.wmv
The scene with her standing next to Ann Francis is great. Admittedly there’s no **tension** between them and after all since the name of this blog is Blondes vs. Brunettes so it would have been delicious if the brunette was tied in with the bad guys and it all led to Kane-Francis slugfest, but just to see them next to each other is a real bell ringer for me even if nothing really happens.
And speaking of great Blonde vs. Brunette scenes where nothing really happens, in last week’s blog entry there was this really perfect scene in the movie “Back From Eternity” where blonde Anita Ekberg blows cigarette smoke in the face of a brunette showgirl. No response from the gorgeous brunette which was too bad because the brunette was the same size as the Amazonian Ekberg so it would have been one hell of a battle.

But it did get me thinking about the brunette showgirl.

“Who exactly is this dark haired stunner?  She’s drop-dead gorgeous  … perfect … why that’s exactly what a woman is supposed to look like!!!”
After some poking around, I determined that her name is Marilyn Hanold and she was in a number of films, mostly B-grade, during the 50s and 60s. 
She was also a Playboy centerfold.  No surprise there !!!
AND … she has her own Wikipedia page

Lots of pics on the internet.  Wow!

The interesting thing about Hanold is that although she never became a major star like Ekberg, she did well, apparently married a nice guy, an oil executive , and lived happily in the Salt Lake City area raising three children and tending to her family.  After her husband passed away, she remained active in the Salt Lake Community. 

Ekberg’s life, by comparison, has turned into a sad story.  Multiple divorces, no children and anger that the Swedish people never appreciated her work.  More recently she was hospitalized in Italy where she lives, her house was broken into and then burned down and she was reduced to living on charity.  A sad journey.
Well, that just goes to show you why polls always say that men prefer to date blondes but would rather marry brunettes. Marilyn Hanold, a smart, stable and secure brunette has led an enviable life.  Ekberg, alone in her 80s, is destitute. 
I do feel bad for her.
Back to that gorgeous brunette, Hanold.  Since she’s living in the USA, Salt Lake City, perhaps I should try to contact her. Hmmm, I wonder what her response might be ….
Anyway, back to legs …

Many moons ago, I had a gym teacher that had girls leg wrestle each other.  Sadly, I can’t remember the match ups and in general, the boys were shooed away and sent to the basketball courts.  But the matches were, maybe still are (?) called “Indian Leg wrestling” matches. I plan to scout around the web and look for some good blonde vs. brunette match ups!

In any event, in a strange roundabout way, that brings us to today’s blog entry on Head Scissors.

I know what you’re thinking:  “Yessss!!!! Finally we get to the catfight part of this week’s blog!!”

My interest in this as a standalone topic was generated by an old California Supreme video titled, appropriately enough, “Head scissors”.

Once again we get to meet our friend Ron Dvorkin, busy doing the Lord’s work, matching blondes against brunettes in a wrestling contest. I first saw this on an old Crystal Films tape about 10 years ago. Naturally, I expected the dark haired girls to easily wrap up the blondes and pop their heads with their powerful leg muscles. 

Nope, wrong again.  There are two matches featuring three girls. The blonde is a girl called “Little E” and although she doesn’t look very powerful, she seems to be a great fighter.  The two brunettes are Dixie, a very powerfully built gymnast and Sherry Whitlow, one of Southern California’s legendary apartment / bikini wrestlers from the 1960s.  Slim and fit, Sherry was not one to trifle with. 


But somehow blonde haired Little E manages to not only beat the two brunettes but she makes it look so easy!  She’s actually laughing at Dixie and Sherry as she holds them helplessly in a leg lock.

You have to wonder if the *fix* was in on these matches – there’s no way these brunettes should have gone down so easily.  So and so didn’t even put up a fight, she just went straight down. 

Looks like bag job to me. Maybe someday I’ll drop a note to Dvorkin and ask him.

Next up is a short clip.  I have no idea where this is from and it’s been on my hard drive, no pun intended, for so long I can’t remember where I downloaded it from.  But I’d like to see more, that’s for sure.

This clip is pretty humiliating for the brunette.  The blonde is laughing at her and taunting her … oh my, what I wouldn’t give to watch the brunette slap that blonde!!

------------------------------------------------

Whew!! That was a lot.  As the weather gets better and I’m outside planting flowers and such, I probably won’t have enough time to bang out blog entries as long as this one. But the weather today was crappy, so I thought I’d do as much as possible.

Blondes vs. Brunettes #23 - Terror in the Skies#2


Thanks for checking out this week’s blog entry.  I had a great time last weekend in AC and didn’t part with too much cash, so the Boss isn’t all that mad at me. 

……………………………………..

What with all this news and discussion of the doomed Malaysian airliner, I thought I would re-arrange the schedule and take a look at plane disasters instead.

Of course we’re talking about plane disasters that feature a blonde versus brunette rivalry!!


Strange, isn’t it that just a few weeks back I had posted the video clip of the gals going at it in the galley area of an aircraft.  Not sure what movie that was, but it was a nice little scrap.

This week’s focus though is certainly not an unknown movie, but a rather well-known flick titled “Back from Eternity”.  You may have seen it before on Turner Classic Movies. 


Yup, that’s right, it’s a “Classic”, not some cheap, b-grade flick, but an impressive RKO Radio picture from the 1950s that was a big box-office hit.

Synopsis, with a few minor edits, stolen from Wikipedia: 

 

"An aircraft is bound for Boca Grande, somewhere in South America, making a pick-up stop in Central America. The plane’s pilots are Bill Lonagan (Robert Ryan) and Joe Brooks (Keith Andes); the passengers are: Jud Ellis (Gene Barry) who is escorting his fiancĂ©, Louise Melhorn (Phyllis Kirk); repentant political assassin Vasquel (Rod Steiger) who is being transported back to the proper authorities by detective Crimp (Fred Clark); mobster Pete Bostwick (Jesse White) is accompanying a little boy named Tommy, whose father is Bostwick's boss; an elderly couple, Professor and Mrs. Spanger (Cameron Prud'Homme and Beulah Bondi), who are on a vacation; and jilted blonde bombshell Rena (Anita Ekberg), on her way to a South American casino. During its flight, the aircraft encounters severe turbulence when it enters a thunderstorm and a portable oxygen tank, strapped down in the passenger cabin, becomes loose and crashes through one of the fuselage doors. When Tommy gets out of his seat to investigate, the flight attendant, Maria Alvarez (Adele Mara) rushes over and rescues him but is thrown out of the aircraft when it pitches violently in the storm.
http://www.mediafire.com/watch/qv09stqwlllj2sp/Back_From_Eternity_I_Hear_Blondes_Do_Well_There.wmv



When Lonagan notices that an engine is losing oil pressure, he decides to make an emergency landing in the jungle.  The aircraft is damaged but is still intact. After landing, Crimp tries to take charge of the group, but the other passengers resist his efforts. During the argument about who should be in charge, Crimp notices that his gun is missing. Vasquel reveals that he has it but instead of handing it back to Crimp, he gives it to Lonagan who then assumes command of the group. Subsequently, Lonagan gives the gun to Bostwick so that he can hunt wild game.  As the days pass it becomes apparent that the jungle is filled with headhunters who have the plane, crew, and passengers under observation. With no hope of rescue and surrounded by danger, tensions, both personal and sexual among the crew and passengers, begin to build. Louise, who is engaged to Ellis, begins to realize that he is a self-centered coward and rejects his overtures. At the same time she finds herself attracted to Joe, the resourceful and courageous co-pilot. Eventually, Louise comes to believe that Rena is also attracted to Joe and in a moment of jealous rage, she starts a fight her blonde rival. Joe notices the women fighting and stops them. Louise suddenly realizes how foolish she was when Rena makes it clear to her that is not interested in Joe. Later, Crimp steals the gun from Bostwick and flees into the jungle. The next morning, Tommy also wanders off into the jungle. He is soon found by Bostwick and Rena who also discover Crimp’s headless body. Shortly after that discovery, the head hunters shoot Bostwick dead by poison dart. By then, both Lonagan and Joe have repaired the plane, but one engine is still not working properly. Because of that, they determine that the only way the plane will make it over the mountains is to lighten it by leaving behind all of its cargo and four of the passengers. With gun in hand, Vasquel forcibly takes charge of the matter, and chooses those that will be able to return to civilization. Because he is a condemned man, he decides to stay behind. The elderly Spanger couple also decide to stay behind as they realize that most of their lives are now behind them. Vasquel then announces that Ellis will stay behind, meaning that Lonagan, Joe, Rena, Louise, and Tommy are the only ones who will board the plane and escape. The others will stay behind and face certain death from the head hunters. Ellis then tries to seize the gun from Vasquel but is shot dead. The aircraft manages to take off, dropping off a cliff and then narrowly clearing the mountains. With only two bullets left in his gun, Vasquel shoots the Spanger couple and then prays for forgiveness as he waits for his own death."

 
Pretty intense plot, huh?


But the real plot, for us here at bvb at least, is between Ekberg and every other brunette but especially Phyllis Kirk. 

 
The movie opens with Ekberg gambling in a casino.  Not having any luck, she goes back to the casino manager’s quarters and asks for more money; making it obvious to the viewer that clear that she is a woman in the business of doing favors for cash.  But the manager has other ideas, namely that she’s not worth the trouble, so he smacks her around and tells her to get out, specifically head out to South America and work as a bar girl in a casino he has connections with.  What’s interesting about this scene is that the manager is entertaining a couple of brunette showgirls when Ekberg arrives in his room.  The tension between her and one of the tall, leggy brunettes is palpable and when Ekberg lights a cigarette she literally blows smoke in the face of one of the dark haired gals.  For her part, even though she is a tall woman who is presumably equipped with the strong, powerful legs of a dancer the brunette doesn’t dare tangle with the blonde-haired Amazon.  Nice scene.
http://www.mediafire.com/watch/l9ueu01uwwlum5k/Back_From_Eternity_Well,_Excuse_Me!.wmv

Later, as she is waiting to board the flight she is attracted to the well dressed, dark haired Ellis who is also waiting, in this case for his dark haired fiancĂ©e, Louise. Ellis, ever the gentleman, lights a cigarette for Rena (didn’t people back in the 1950s know that smoking was bad for you?  Guess not!) just as Louise arrives.
 
Naturally, Louise gets jealous and there’s a scene where Rena bumps into her, adding to the tension.

Later in the movie the plane stops at a way point to pick up more passengers and both crew and passengers disembark.  When the little blonde boy starts wandering around aimlessly, Louise rescues him.  But the blonde haired Rena has a motherly instinct for the blonde boy and tries to wean him away from the brunette. Louise will have none of it and tells Rena to get lost, so to speak.

http://www.mediafire.com/watch/eftc0gbtoj1f480/Back_From_Eternity_He'll_Stay_With_Us,_Thank_You.wmv




As the movie moves along it becomes abundantly clear that Ellis is not only a first class shithead but a coward as well. In response, Louise begins to distance herself from him.  Simultaneously she is attracted to the co-pilot, Joe Brooks. For his part, Joe is courageous, smart, resourceful, honest and hard working.  He’s also blonde and loaded with muscles. Not surprisingly, the blonde Rena is also attracted to Joe and makes a move for him and that sets up the battle between her and Louise.

http://www.mediafire.com/watch/8pln78wu3bckafz/Back_From_Eternity_You_Mean_Joe.wmv



Now the truth is it’s a disappointing fight that doesn’t have a decisive ending as it’s broken up by Joe while the two women are struggling with each other in the water.

Worse, the two ladies realize how foolish they are and become friends. 

That sucks, doesn’t it?

Still, between the nice build up and the little wrestling match, it’s a good piece of the blonde vs. brunette rivalry.

http://www.mediafire.com/watch/0rk61ce47uidw72/Back_From_Eternity_I_Think_it's_Love.wmv


As icing on the cake, later in the movie when Barry tries to screw his now unwilling fiancĂ©e, Joe comes to her rescue. Face to face, toe to toe, the black haired Barry and the blonde co-pilot almost come to blows but Barry realizes he’s no match for the powerfully built blonde studmuffin, and backs down.
 
Well, that’s it.  A great fucking movie all the way around even if the fight itself was a bit lame.

In researching the movie I discovered a Louelle Parson’s column that discussed Tommy’s affection for Ekberg on the movie set.  Apparently given the choice between brunette Kirk and blonde Ekberg, little blonde haired Tommy knew which gal’s lap to jump on between film takes. 

 


Smart kid.  
 

What with all the chit chat about terrorists, I figure this is also a good time to pull up the video from the 1977 movie “The Night They Took Miss Beautiful” starring Sherree North and Victoria Principal.



http://www.mediafire.com/watch/0fxslo9drmzdbvy/The_Night_They_Took_Miss_Beautiful.mp4

As described by Ed Stips’ “MovieTVCatfightAlert” (on Yahoo Groups)


“Sheree North battled Victoria Principal in the made for television flick The Night They Took Miss Beautiful (1977). Ms. Principal portrays an Israeli agent while Ms. North plays a merciless terrorist. Their lively bout on a beach features judo, wrestling and choking. North secures an unfair advantage by throwing a handful of sand in the Principal's face,  but gets her comeuppance when one of the beauty contestants a third party intervenes and ends the fight by knocking her out. The quality of the North-Principal showdown is solidly above average.”

The blonde, blue-eyed North was a tough, athletic gal who began professionally dancing at the age of 10.  She had quite a set of legs, all muscle, of course!  The brown haired, dark eyed Principal was no slouch either, she starred in a number of exercise films in the 1970s and 80s.  In pretty good shape, I’d say.  Winner?  Coin toss is my guess.  Whoever wanted it more, although since North was 18 years older than Principal, I’d go with youth.

As far as the Leader Board goes, the Ekberg vs. Kirk wrestling match is scored as a draw although I’m sure Anita Ekberg would make short work of Phyllis Kirk had they fought for real.  I was tempted to list Ekberg as the “bad blonde” but she really turned out to be a, at least, a quasi-good girl in the movie, so that would be unfair.

As for the North-Principal fight, the wicked blonde clearly kicked the brunette’s ass.

Oh well.

------------------------------------------------------------------

This week’s last item also involves violence on an airplane, this time between a couple of stewardesses.

You do remember stews don’t you?  They were the good looking gals who pushed food and beverage carts up and down the aisles while wearing miniskirts and heels.

For reasons never fully explained to the public, stews, at least on U.S. domestic airlines, were eventually replaced by a thing called “flight attendants” who were older ladies wearing pantsuits.  Many of them look like Hillary Clinton.

Rumor is that some foreign airline companies, especially those based in Asia still have good looking stews. 
 
In this **delightful** cartoon by Glen Eneg (?) a blonde and a brunette stew battle each other for the affections of the plane’s captain.  In this story, the brunette is definitely the bad girl!  Fortunately she gets her ass beat by the blonde.  I don’t know about you, but this cartoon works for me, big time and I added the results to the Leader Board.

Blondes vs. Brunettes #21 - The Fantastic Mimi & Terror in the Skies #1


Well, it’s been a couple of weeks since the Olympics ended and I congratulated Russia for a job well done.  Since then, they’ve managed to invade Crimea and re-start the Cold War. 

Great fucking job Russia. 

If you’re reading this and you live in the remainder of Ukraine, or Lithuania, Latvia, or Estonia, I hope you’re oiling up your guns and stockpiling ammunition, because you’re next on Putin’s hit list.  Of course, that’s assuming that you actually have guns; maybe your country thinks it’s uncivilized to own a weapon.  Hell, maybe if you live in New York or Vermont you have to listen to that same shit.

Not here.  Thank God for the second amendment and Commonwealth of Virginia.

I just might go pat my Bushmaster AR-15 copycat and 9mm Beretta before I go to bed tonight. 

Hey, at my age, that’s as good as sex!!

------------------------------------------------------------

With that out of the way ….

By now you have probably figured out that Sports Review Wrestling (SRW) left a big impression on me years ago.  The Salome vs. Cynara match was a stunner and then of course, there was Debbie vs. Helene with Debbie being a look alike for my cousin Jacky who I was in the process of hammering.  In the midst of all of this, the family relocated from the Boston area to Northern Virginia (NVA) back when NVA was a backwater, shotgun-in-the-back-window-of-a-pick’em truck area … not like it is today with millions of urbane, witty liberal folks who have fucked the place up royally.  But since my family was part of the northern migration south to NVA, I guess we’re at least partly to blame. 

One of the first areas developed in NVA, and this was many decades ago, was U.S. Route 1 which of course runs the entire length of the east coast from Maine to Florida.  The particular US 1 section I’m talking about is from the Potomac River down south past Fort Belvoir and then on to Woodbridge and Quantico.  Back then there were a couple of newsstands located in the strip malls located on US 1 that sold SRW as well as various men’s magazines and other mags like “Police Detective” and such.  I’d either walk, bus or when I was old enough, eventually drive to these places as a young man. In the process of perusing wrestling magazines I discovered that there were a couple of men’s magazines that often featured catfight articles, namely Cavalier and Nugget.  They always had some good stories and pics in them and we’ll get into that in a blog entry later this year.

Airline scene

http://www.mediafire.com/watch/1zsqqm0kqy0fkv1/Airline_Fight.m4v
Eventually, when I headed back north to college, I had to find more newsstands so I could quench my thirst for SRW.  One of my favorites was in Quincy, Mass, not far from the home of my grandparents near Wollaston Beach.  The place was called “Caradonna’s News Stand” and was a big hang out for the locals who were always in there puffing away on stogies.  I can still smell the place.  Probably bought more SRWs there than any other newsstand as I would often drive down from Amherst to Quincy to visit my grandparents while I was in school.  During one of those visits, I saw a good blonde-brunette catfight at the local high school, but we’ll save that for another day.

I bring all of this up because there was a police-detective type magazine that featured a stunning blonde-brunette catfight on its cover.  I’ve looked on the web for years but I’ve never been able to find it.  Like the ivory billed woodpecker maybe it’s something that I’ll never see again.  But in the meantime, while clicking through hundred of e-Bay pages I have come across some nice magazine covers and this issue of Real Men’s magazine stands out.   Holy shit batman, what an image. Too bad the story is not as good as the picture. I fact, it’s really misleading, they weren’t fighting over guy and he certainly wasn’t anybody’s love prize.  Rather, Mimi, the blonde, had bashed a bottle over another guys head during the bar fight and then black haired gal went after Mimi with a bottle and before you know it the two ladies were carving each other up.  As you can tell, the blonde won.
Ali Baba and the 7 Saracens, featuring Bella Cortez
http://www.mediafire.com/watch/6ro1rhlw9wv1gkq/Ali_Baba_and_the_7_Saracens.wmv
Anyway, that pretty much sums up the fight.  I have all of the pages uploaded on to Media fire so you can download them and read the story if you’re interested.

--------------------------------------------------------------

OK, beyond that, I have a few more street fights uploaded.  Obviously, nothing else is going on to You Tube, or even Daily Motion, so you’ll have to check out Mediafire if you want to see those street fights. 

The first fight, which is #6 in my series features a couple of attractive gals who I suspect are in high school.  The brunette with the red jacket gets the better of the blonde, that’s for sure.


The blondes even the score in #7 as the brunette simply quits fighting. Sorry about that annoying music.


And the blondes pull ahead in #8 in a hallway beat down where the brunette really gets her ass kicked before somebody breaks it up.


Fight #9 features, I’m sorry to say, some bad technicals as the speeded up frame rate is way ahead of the audio.  And the quality sucks, too.  And it’s not even a decisive finish; it’s a draw as an adult breaks up the battle. 


Fight #10 is much better quality minus audio and the brunette really hammers the blonde.


So the score from today’s battles was even + one draw and the leader board has been updated accordingly.  

--------------------------------------------------------
Soap Opera
http://www.mediafire.com/watch/du9wpaczaw0lg6h/American_Soap_.wmv
Movie catfights this week, too.

First up is a fight over a gun that occurs in the galley area of an airliner.  Truth is, I don’t recall the name of this movie, but I think the blonde is the bad girl and the brunette the good girl.  Maybe.  Anyway, the brunette over powers the blonde and gets the gun, so score one for the brunettes.

Second flick is a peplum that features black haired Bella Cortez fighting a strawberry blonde, played by Carla Calo.

Shamelessly, I’m stealing from Ed Stips’ web site with this description:

Dan Harrison portrays Ali Baba, who faces off against an evil warlord played by Gordon Mitchell, one of a group of American bodybuilders who migrated to Europe during the 1960's and found work in peplum films, spaghetti westerns and secret agent movies. The awesomely built Bella Cortez is the heroine while Carla Calo assumes the role of the villainess, who is the evil warlord's main squeeze. Ms. Cortez is captured by Mr. Mitchell and imprisoned in his harem. While Gordon's guards and Ms. Calo are taking her into the facility, bodacious Bella warns the bad girl that "I'll get out of here, and when I do you'll wish you'd never been born!" That dire warning serves notice that the ladies are due to tangle, and that happy moment occurs near the film's conclusion. Dan Harrison's forces attack Gordon Mitchell's fortress, and a huge melee involving a large number of men breaks out in the courtyard. Meanwhile, the women in the harem assault and overwhelm their guards. Ms. Calo manages to escape and runs outside into the courtyard where one of Mr. Harrison's soldiers promptly grabs and restrains her. Bella Cortez arrives from the harem and commands the soldier to "Leave her to me!" He dutifully releases the bad girl, and Bella and Carla begin to warily position themselves for their fight. The bout commences with some grappling that results in the combatants crashing down onto the ground, where Ms. Cortez straddles her adversary and gains the early advantage. After a cutaway, the girl fight action resumes with Carla Calo rallying and reversing positions so that she is now on top. Sadly, after inflicting a bit of punishment upon the heroine, Carla suddenly gets up and runs away, ending what had been a short but sweet showdown.

What makes this scene interesting is that the brunette is the "good girl" and she still gets her ass kicked by the blonde.

This is very troublesome.

The third flick is from an early 1990s daytime American soap opera, I don’t know the name.  It’s a goofy fight, but at one point the brunette says “You bleach blonde” and digs her hands into the blonde’s hair.  No winner in this one as it’s broken up by some nosy men who should have left well enough alone.

 #4 is AngelFist.  Blonde, blue-eyed Catya Sassoon, in assembly line fashion, knocks the shit out of a long line of asian brunettes; ut I’m only giving credit for one victory on the leader board, hah! Take that.

By the way, what an Amazon she was … before dying of a drug overdose in her early 30s.

Finally, a nice teen karate deal where a very dark haired brunette fights and loses, twice in fact, to a blonde.  Nice set up.  Wish I knew what TV show this was from; surely these two gals must have fought again!

Dan Harrison portrays Ali Baba, who faces off against an evil warlord played by Gordon Mitchell, one of a group of American bodybuilders who migrated to Europe during the 1960's and found work in peplum films, spaghetti westerns and secret agent movies. The awesomely built Bella Cortez is the heroine while Carla Calo assumes the role of the villainess, who is the evil warlord's main squeeze. Ms. Cortez is captured by Mr. Mitchell and imprisoned in his harem. While Gordon's guards and Ms. Calo are taking her into the facility, bodacious Bella warns the bad girl that "I'll get out of here, and when I do you'll wish you'd never been born!" That dire warning serves notice that the ladies are due to tangle, and that happy moment occurs near the film's conclusion.
