Well, we made it, everybody. The end of the '70s. As the granola and macrame of the '70s gave way to the fro-yo and neon of the '80s in a flaming bonfire of disco records, we appropriately enough marked the change of cultural seasons with Season Hubley shedding her leaves in Hardcore and Dorothy Stratten's doughnuts in Autumn Born. And we'd have an IQ of 0 if we forgot bodacious Bo Derek in "10"!

On the same day that we lost 10 director Blake Edwards, fans of movie nudity also lost another of its leading lights, the undisputed master of the surrealist erotic horror genre, Jean Rollin.
A true auteur Rollin was practically the patron saint of lesbian vampire movies, providing the world with classics like Fascination, Lips of Blood, and The Nude Vampire as well as Euro-sleaze like Bacchanales Sexuelles and Emmanuelle 6 with German Playboy model Natalie Uher.
Thanks to the films of Jean Rollin, we have plenty of fully nude footage of tasty French dishes like eye-popping porn princess Brigitte Lahaie and tempting twins Marie-Pierre and Catherine Castel.
Gone but not forgotten, Jean Rollin will live on in the many skinspirational films he left behind.
Bon soir, mon ami.

Popular culture of 1979 was post-hippie, but not quite yuppie; post-disco, but not quite New Wave; and post-Star-Wars, but not quite completely infantilized by Steven Spielberg.

With home video still a few years in the future, grindhouses and drive-ins surged toward a crescendo, showcasing an explosion of exploitation that was also patently adult but not, to be sure, mature.
Let’s look now at some of our favorite nude scenes from 1979—eleven, in total, in honor of the rating Dudley Moore actually awards to Bo Derek in the movie 10.

Lucky members…
Blake Edwards’s 10, a true classic of the sex comedy genre and a cultural milestone, finally got an official DVD release on this day in 2004.
Anyone who was alive at the time and not in a coma will remember 10 as the first time the t&a of iconic babe Bo Derek graced the screen. With her braids, and her titular body type, Bo steals the show.
In this, her first nude outing, Bo only reveals her rack and rump. But, as fans know, she was only getting warmed up for her full-frontal appearances in the skinstant classics Ghosts Can’t Do It, Bolero, and Woman of Desire.

Dave Navarro may be the Renaissance Man of the 21st century. He's played guitar in Jane's Addiction and Red Hot Chili Peppers, was formerly married to Carmen Electra (Picture: 1 - 2), and most recently produced and starred in the reality hit Rock Star: Supernova.
