More Sexy Beasts
A critique of two different magazine articles concerning two different black female performers.
Continuing: Much later Traci lets loose with a refreshingly open attitude regarding nudity (”This whole controversy about Janet Jackson exposing her breast…It’ s a breast–who cares?…We were born in this world nude, we tend to make love in the nude and when we die we’ re going to dissipate and turn into bones so what’ s the big deal? People in Europe are laughing at us over that”) and her fondness for Hugh Hefner (Hef is such a child at heart. I think he’ s 78. I went to his birthday party and he’ s just a wonderful man.” Incidentally, the last two photos of Traci have her beguilingly topless, with strands of hair over her delicious breasts). She also holds forth on the sensation of her then-fiance (”I’ m just so amazed by his incredible body. He has these chiseled features…and has these great calves and works out and is just so hot”) and on her time as hostess of the BET show Exploring the Fantasy (”I just enjoy my body and I enjoy people so BET figured I’ d be perfect for this job…What I found really fun and cute was the post-it game…It was like pin the tail on the human”). Traci’ s final words have her warmly looking back upon her period as a part of the basic-cable comedy series Reno 911. “It was complete improvisation,” she recalls. “We filmed at a real police station so when we heard something over the intercom we had to go with it.” To which the article’ s writer, in the words that end this highly sexy and highly stimulating piece, adds: “You go with it, Traci Bingham!”
(One more thing: Traci is also exhibited to terrific advantage on the DVD Exposed Girls of Baywatch, which, as film/TV female-skin connoisseur Mr. Skin pointed out in his bestselling Skincyclopedia, is a “plotless, purely-for-skintertainment-value video”)
It was Jet magazine that described Robin in the classic film A Rage in Harlem as “sultry, sensuous and passionate.” The articles on her and on Traci Bingham in, respectively, Heart & Soul and Femme Fatales prove beyond a shadow of a doubt that said description fits both women to the letter.
