Porky's for Parents



Remember that movie Porky's? In case you don't, it came out in 1982. Wikepedia says it influenced many filmmakers in the teen movie genre. All I remember is the peephole. Come to find out it stars a young Kim Cattrell. I think I'm going to add it to my Netflix™ library request que. I bet it will seem really tame to me now.

Let me get to the point of my post. Dirty movies and child rearing.

Hazel has started Ballet. I love watching my girls in their activities. In NYC the studio had a small two-way glass window. Imagine 3 mommies and 24 nannies all squished together trying to observer the little prancing dancers. The new studio has a different method of observation.

This is my view:



So much better than the shower scene.

For what it's worth, Howard Stern's production company bought the rights to remake the Porky's movies and filming is set to start soon. Oh, and Kim Cattrell played Lassie. The girl who howled during sex. How telling.

I think I'll add it to my queue, too. I never got to see it. I remember all the other kids talking about it, but my parents were too strict to ever allow viewing of such a risque' movie (did I spell that right?)

I remember that movie and I love that you made that association with the peep hole. Is it a whole wall of different peep holes? That's so odd, isn't it? The studio looks really nice though. I CAN'T WAIT for Z to be old enough for ballet. Almost.

More photos of Hazel in ballet class, please. Remember when I went with you guys to her recital? And cried!
