Just to get you in the mood...

...for our presentation of Battle of the Burlesque Stars, on September 29th, here's a big ol' slice of 70s awesomeness, courtesy of Youtube. Considering the Battle of the Network Stars ran every year from the early 70s to the mid 80s, there are almost no good clips of it on Youtube--almost all that are on there, are edited together scenes showcasing particular actresses: Lynda Carter, Cheryl Ladd. Fair enough; the Battle of the Network Stars was a slo-mo replay T'n'A fest! There must of been a contractual clause that none of the actresses were allowed to wear bras during the running events. But anyway, all of the OTHER great things about the show, pretty much, are captured in this nine and a half minutes. Enjoy!
