Raquel Deluxe

An excerpt from Raquel! Deluxe Addition. A young and VERY sexy Requel Welch dancing a space girl dance in this kitchy video made in the 1970s. If you look carefully, at 1:44, the guy on the left messes up. A special thanks to http://www.mrbalihai.com who said: thanks to the astute bOINGbOING ( http://www.boingboing.net )readers who pointed out that the bizarre sculptures featured in the video were part of the Ruta de la Amistad public sculpture project at the 1968 Olympics in Mexico City, and that this clip came from Raquel's eponymous 1970 television special. This was the promise given to every western child in the seventies: when you grow up you will be living in a futuristic and psychedelic world populated by ultra-hot chicks in silver space suits designed by Paco Rabanne and Pierre Cardin’ against a backdrop of Barbarella/Zardoz/Logan's Run style living spaces....what the f**k happened? where did it all go wrong?!? answers on a postcards addressed to the year 1970 and dont forget the self-addressed stamp. she always looked good.
