Yes - Sad about Raquel - Sad about Farrah.

My back-o-the-door poster in T-306

I edited the engorged nipple out - so as not to offend Bo - and not to arouse Pelado.

I'm guessing you also had that almost equally famous Cheryl Tiegs, mesh swimsuit poster. Did you hang that one or stash it under the bed and only bring it out for special occasions?

I don't know how you figure 2 times a day - connotes a "special occasion."

From the age of 12 I had an annual subscription to Sports Illustrated - and when a new issue arrived - I'd cut the last weeks cover off and staple it to my wall. By the time I was 18 my room was fully covered with SI Covers - and this was all a rouse - just so I put the swimsuit covers in a special spot. Cheryl Tiegs and the Cancun issue was particularly beneficial in my quest to go blind.

My fourth grade year my Dad promised he would get me a subscription to SI if I did well, I did and I continued with that every year except the mission years until about five years ago when there were plenty of other options for my sports. They didn't get to Rexburg until Monday but on those days I'd race home from school and make sure I got to my swim suit issue before anyone, mother, else did. It sure warmed up a cold winter day in Rexburg.

My older brother had this poster. He won it at the fundraising school fair for our elementary school. Different times.

We had an SI subscription my entire childhood and I regularly read it cover to cover. Shortly after I graduated from college, I got a subscription myself, and kept it for 20 or 25 years. For about 15 years, I read it religiously. For the rest, I kept it mainly for nostalgia.

Anyway, during those 20 or 25 years, my wife would immediately throw away the swimsuit issue when it arrived, before I got home from work. It was part of her effort to protect me from the evils of the world. As SI subscribers will know, they put a note in the issue a couple of months before the swimsuit issue saying “let us know if you don’t want the swimsuit issue, and we will not send it to you, and advance your subscription one month” I never did this, though, as I didn’t want to deprive my wife of the virtuous feeling she got from tossing the swimsuit issue in the trash and thereby saving me from the filthy smut SI was peddling.

Now there's a guy that lived a charmed life - at least from the outside looking in.

On my bucket list was to go attend one of his Sunday School classes and then Covid hit.

Our old Stake President his Dad was clock operator at ISU for many years. Sports Illustrated came to their home but when swimsuit issue came out got rid of subscription. I remember when Roger Reid’s sons had article same week as swimsuit issue so byu couldn’t have it on campus. I onl6 read si now when I’m in lobby of Dr or dentist office. Haven’t had subscription in years.
