Do you Remember This?

Do you remember this ad?


Pretty much sums up popular culture's romance with S&S.

So how many of you cut that ad out of Playboy er Popular Science and taped it to a folder?
Better yet, who among you based a character on her.

ETA my contribution:


Made around 85 or 86.

I will admit to wanting to order the poster of that ad. I will also admit to creating an NPC in a DragonQuest game based on her.

My buddy Jamie had a female warrior that he was looking for something to serve as her illustration. He stumbled onto that picture and you know the rest.

Definitely recognized her.

Ag, that armor does not look like it would work well.

I think my brother used to have that picture, too.

The armor is not even remotely practical. But neither is riding a polar bear.

And neither is that sword.

I actually don't remember that ad, though I probably did see it at some point.

This ad is responsible for the number of dead nazi shots I still consume today.

A couple years ago I photoshopped out the bottle of booze to use the picture on a DM screen.

Never got around to making that screen. Maybe I should get back to work on it.

I admit to cutting it of the magazine and posting it on my wall. I would have loved a poster. Still would.

Makes me want to drink alcohol. Like subliminal messaging.
