Aquaficionadas - Baywatch style

Today, for not much reason at all, we remember Baywatch 

and its bevy of aquaficionadas... and bimbos. 

Mostly of the former - let's pretend?

We won't badmouth them too much now: fear not! 

We still hold in some regard Marliece Andrada 

Shawn Weatherly (not a guy) 

or even Angelica ''Wish-It-Was-Mera'' Bridges, after all... 

They were utmost professionals, those three: 

always well-tanned, trim, fit, well-hydrated 

and that triangle was trimmed and fit 

for the bathing suit, too...

This is Shawn - see?

Originally starring a Hardy Boy 

and a transplanted Knight Rider, 

this NBC-quickly-transplanted-as-first-run-syndication show 

remains firmly entrenched into people's minds 

as the show about sand, beaches, swimming, surfing 

and lifeguards whose definite shapeliness 

implies that they posed for Playboy most recently...

Through its lengthy run 

(we liken it to a long swim - ending with the bends) 

there were many cast changes 

leading most to believe there was a revolving door 

giving access to the beach...

The rumors were true: there was a weight clause 

set by the producers just so that they could easily fire 

any cast member who got too hungry... 

;-)

But we already mentioned all this here - didn't we?

This year marks the 25th anniversary of the show -

without any special reunion episode 

or remake for the big screen, thank God!

Let,s just keep this as it is now: 

an old TV show that some can still remember 

without having to actually watch... or baywatch.

Here is but a sample of what the show was all about, in truth, 

- it is a scene starring two of its lesser-known stars...

It is the greatest ACTING one could get to see on that show, for sure; 

not involving Pamela, Yasmine, Donna, Traci, Erika, Carmen or Gena Lee, 

now that isn't a lie at all...

Baywatch even welcomed guest-stars of renown, once in a while:

the one we liked to akin to an Aquaman of the squared circle, 

'Nature Boy' Ric Flair, 

along with the late Macho Man Randy Savage, 

the devil himself (former Boston Bruiser Kevin Sullivan) 

Big Van Vader and 'Hollywood' Hulk Hogan 

all appeared together as ''WCW'' overall 

hogged an entire episode up - 

what else could they do? 

Hogan's own aquatic show, 

''Thunder In Paradise'' 

was a total utter failure 

and had been canceled already -

and he didn't have his reality TV show yet...

But that's another story...

Other guest-stars of renown: 

Carrie-Anne Moss, pre-Matrix...

Laura Harring, post-daytime and pre-Mulholland Drive...

and Elizabeth Berkley, pre-Showgirls

...among others...

You can see the level of quality right there...

And you can see why some would believe it 

when rumors of sapphic footage from that show 

pop up, quite inexplicably, on YouTube...!

There was, at one point, even a spin-off, sort of...

''Baywatch Nights''

for, once you get off the beach, 

you can still strut your stuff, somehow... hmm?

Mercifully, that one lasted 

for but a blink of an eye. 

(We won't be celebrating its b-day!)

We'd rather be watching toons, actually...

Rest In Peace, Baywatch!

aqua aficionadas: mucho better than a pet in the penthouse or a playmate for playtime...!!!

An Aqua Patch is a better patch than most patches made readily available out there too...! USCGC White Sage, Bristol, RI Patch

AquaFicionados would instantly recognize that!

Meanwhile, Aquaficionadas just wanna have funnnnn...!

The Selling Power Of One Word... ``AQUA``

And when merely evoking the thing doesn`t yield 

all hoped for results...

... JUST SAY THE WORD!

You`ll sea the difference immediately! 

(you'll smell it, certainly: no fishy smell 

on you nor on her!)

But let us... move on! 

This *Aqua inflatable* model sure does bear 

an uncanny resemblance to Sophie B... 

doesn't she? 

Here is her most aqua-inspired song:

Check in at Aquaman`s expense - here`s his credit card number:

 

You've heard of Super Friends - 

imagine now how much friendlier Aqua Friends can be! 

AGUA... AQUA... close enough!

________________________

... much better than the sad habitat known as 

... THE CAR!

oh... there are many!

And we would be remiss if we didn`t add one more  

-through hypertime commuting, of course- 

after all, its creativity 

(substituting the ``A`` for a ``V`` 

and, essentially, inverting it) 

should not be held against it...

There is even an angel by that name...!

(And we don`t mean this one!) 

And, of course, that certain super-hero of the sea too!

AQUA - partake of it already  

{especially if you`re feeling parched}

for it is everywhere - AND IT $ELL$!

But why, then - oh, tell us why, then;

the time-honored (and extremely aquamusing) expression 

``water, water everywhere - 

and not a drop to drink`` 

comes to our aquaficionado`s mind just now... hmm?

A lack of sole in all this, perhaps...?

But that is another question... 

And, of course, we gotta give *the man* his due - once again

This magic word - ``AQUA``- sells so darn well 

all across the world and the seven seas 

- surely it has to start paying off 

for the one man-king who dared 

go ahead and call himself *it*

- one day???
