| We are certain that Frankie Avalon and Annette Funicello would have found the
perfect blanket for Beach Blanket Bingo. Too bad Picnic Time wasn't making such great blankets, in their huge variety of colors
and patterns that are available today. They could have added a pop of color to the party! The blankets are wonderful for partying on
the beach, picnicking in the park, keeping warm at football game or relaxing in your back yard. Plus they are an absolute must to
keep one or two tucked into the trunk of your car, just for emergencies. |
Beach Blanket Bingo - A Blast From the Past |
|
|
| Following the surfing craze of the 1960s, and incorporating
such then-current fads as body building, go-karting, drag racing and sky diving,
the inexpensive Beach Party films starred two unlikely "surfers", former teen
ideol Frankie Avalon and ex-Mouseketeer, Annette Funicello. Inane, paper thin
plots with broad comedy strokes -- peppered with music from not only the two
stars but such artists as surf guitar legend Dick Dale, Little Steve Wonder,
The Pyramids and The Hondells made these movies mega popular!
I wonder if they had such cool blankets and beach gear that Picnic Time
offers these days. Imagine the partying they could have done on these great
blankets. Ok . . . this is a bit of a stretch, but somehow we had to incorporate
this blast from the past into our ~blanket category~. Yes, we are easily amused
but you have to admit that this is fun to watch. And oh, make sure you check
out the blankets!
