Tempus fugit...

Obituary in the LATimes

Candy Barr, 70; 1950s Stripper and Stag Film Star Personified the Joy and Danger of Sex

Barr developed her trademark costume - 10-gallon hat, pasties, "scanty panties," a pair of six-shooters and cowboy boots (my em) - and quickly became a favorite with fraternity boys, Dallas crime figures, businessmen and political leaders, who booked her for stag parties.

From men of a certain age (ahem!) who got their first inklings of sexual pleasure with that picture held proudly aloft in one hand, a reverent moment of silence.

Vaya con Dios, Candy.
