Myra Breckinridge — oh my!

In my post from couple months ago – The Original Sexy Cave Girl Raquel Welch
I point out how one and a half hours of fighting cavemen, fire, dinosaurs and Raquel Welch in next to nothing as a sexy cave girl has a lasting affect on a young mind.

You would think that being the female star in a movie like that back in 1966 would be enough for a movie star… but oh no… Not enough for Raquel Welch.

The costumes are not as sexy (at least to me) but since it was just a few years later (1970)when Myra Breckinridge came out I must say it was just as racy and 10 times as naughty.

Actually, I would classify it as very confusing rather than racy considering I was just a youngster when I first saw the movie. I was to young to really get it all, but it was still funny and it was still sexy, so it served it’s purpose I suppose.

Myra Breckinridge was a very strange movie not just for it’s time, but for any time. It was about this dood who wanted a sex change. He got one from a super looped drugged up doctor and the operation was a huge success. So good in fact that this dood end up looking just like Raquel Welch!
Once this dood becomes a chick he/she goes to Hollywood and and ends up teaching in an acting school for her Uncle Buck. It seems Buck is a former cowboys star. For all I cared about that it was a good thing because we end up getting some good stars and stripes costume mileage from it.
I remember getting pretty confused at this point when I was a kid because he/she ends up having all kinds of strange adventures that I really didn’t understand.
After re-watching the film as an adult I am still not sure about it all… but is is entertaining and Raquel is just as sexy as always.
