Er, on a semi related recyclable topic, saran wrap and marabel morgan, I found out after a little more searching that I was misspelling her name, and she seems to have survived into the internet age just fine. marabel morgan saran brings up a ton of fun stuff on google, the idea seems to be a bit iconic. I'd sort of forgotten some of the context of that particular exercise:
The modern Christian sex advice business dates to 1973, when the evangelical Marabel Morgan achieved brief
notoriety for The Total Woman. Morgan famously suggested that wives spice up their marriage by greeting their
husbands at the door wearing nothing but Saran Wrap—a seduction attempted with sad consequences for Kathy
Bates in the movie Fried Green Tomatoes. James Dobson, founder of the evangelical group Focus on the Family,
published a sex-and-marriage book in 1975. Best-selling Christian authors Tim and Beverly LaHaye followed in
1976 (also the year of Helen Wessel’s The Joy of Natural Childbirth, which taught Lamaze from a Christian
perspective). Scores of books have followed, selling millions of copies. (http://www.geocities.com/privacylaws/USA/usnews14.htm)
Well, haqi should approve, anyway.
Cheers, Dan. |
