Petula: shagadelic
Remember Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery? In 1997, Mike Meyers introduced us to the swinging 60's London spy who had been frozen for thirty years and thawed out in the modern world, confused by technology, hopelessly out of fashion, and baffled by the restrictive sexual climate. He still wanted to shag every woman he met. And he didn't see why he shouldn't. His was the age of free love, a 'shagadelic' era of mini skirts and go-go boots, of long legs and long hair and complete 'consequence free sex'. In the movie, Austin has to learn some lessons about the modern age, and of course he falls in love, but throughout it all, his cheeky, unapologetic horniness is entirely charming. We root for him. We wish Miss Kensington would rip her clothes off for him, with the same innocently playful spirit with which he gets naked (as he does all too often, much to our chagrin). We secretly wish we could all be as shagadelic as he is, and go back to a time when it was completely acceptable for men and women to find each other groovy. At least we can make a bit of start with this gallery of Petula. Yeah, baby! More...
