And the famous Farrah Fawcett poster that adorned countless young men’s rooms, I remember seeing a version of it in my mom’s National Enquirer with the nipples airbrushed over.

You know, I was watching an old Fred and Ginger movie — I think it was Swing Time — and there is a scene where Ginger’s nipples were clearly poking her evening gown. That was in 1936 and no one seemed concerned. This was post-Hayes Code.

The prudery of the 1960s and ’70s was a reaction to the sexual revolution, I figure. By that time, Playboy had become acceptable, and bluenoses probably feared first you let the nipples poke out, and pretty soon the top comes off, and civilization crumbles as we know it!
