I gotta admit Samantha Fox's allure always eluded me, she just seemed like a girl who overfilled her shopping bag with grapefruit in those page three snaps. Didn't she have a go at a music career at one time too?
ReplyDeleteI believe she had a relatively successful music career, short-lived though it was. Her charms eluded you, DSE? Ach, you're just a big wooftah. (Hee hee!)
ReplyDeleteOne thing you can say about Sam, she had her knockers but she never let them drag her down.
ReplyDeleteThat's because the hump on her back left her perfectly balanced.
ReplyDeleteYes, her hits included 'Touch Me (I Want Your Body)' in 1986 and a rather good version of 'I Only Want To Be With You' (formerly by Dusty Springfield, the Bay City Rollers and the Tourists) in 1989. Didn't she come out as a lesbian a few years ago ? That would have been an interesting scenario back in her '80s heyday - I don't know whether it would have damaged her popularity or whether readers would have been fantasizing about Sam, Linda Lusardi and Maria Whittaker in a threesome.
ReplyDeleteSometimes The Sun did photo-shoots of two or more Page 3 models together, CJ, suggesting that there may have been a bit of what you're talking about going on. My response? Bags I get to hold the camera!
ReplyDeleteSo Sam had some nice hits? Now Linda Lusardi, she was rather stirring, I wonder if she considered a music career, I wouldn't mind getting my hand on her hits.
ReplyDeleteLinda had an acting career for a while - might still do for all I know. She appeared in The Bill and various Pantos. I'd like to have got into her Pantos. (Any innuendo you detect in the previous line is your own!) ("Oh no it isn't!")
ReplyDeletePerhaps Sam should consider panto, I'm sure she'd relish the opportunity to have a go at the principle boy.
ReplyDeleteOr maybe even the principal boy? (Who, as 'he's' a girl, hardly seems very principled.)
ReplyDeleteSorry about the error Kid, the distinction between ple and pal give me trouble getting my tongue round it, I'm sure Sam isn't troubled with that problem.
ReplyDeleteShe said it's a bit of a mouthful. No, wait - that was ME she was talking about.
ReplyDelete"Touch Me," "I Wanna Have Some Fun," and "Naughty Girls Need Love Too" got some air time in the US, and she had a following, although she never became a huge superstar here.
ReplyDeleteShe and Sabrina Salerno did some duets, and they sort of teased the audience by making some suggestive moves, caressing each other. Don't know if that was before or after Sam officially came out, though.
There was also an American porn star who used the name "Samantha Fox" in the late 1970's. I read in a rock music magazine that the British singer was afraid that people would think they were the same person. The writer seemed to think she was being hypocritical, since Sam apparently had a "wild party girl" image herself.
Sam appeared in 'soft' porn mags like Mayfair, TC, so in a sense, she was a porn 'star'. I suppose it was just a matter of degree as to how far her and her namesake went down that route. Stunning looking woman in her day, so she was. Didn't know about her U.S. namesake 'til you mentioned her.
