Tina Louise (Ginger) photo I stumbled upon

[QuicksandMania]

I would be very curious to know the background behind what would make a 1960 men's magazine photographer think a "buried" or "quicksand" picture like this would have special appeal to a mainstream male audience.

To my knowledge our "interest" never became widely known among the "interested" until the Internet.

My next guess is that she is actually in grain and the shoot took place on a farm!

Wow - this is a real photo of Tina Louise? I would have thought photo-manip. How I would have loved to be on the set crew taking real photos of Ginger sinking in quicksand. Too good to be real. Thanks for posting. The show was campy, but didn't take itself too seriously, so it worked. I always wished that we would have seen a Ginger or/and Maryann quicksand scene on this series. There was the one "mudbath" scene, but it pales in comparison to the real thing. Could have been the best scene ever.

Good memories for this middle-aged poster.

They had a British butterfly collector sinking as we watched, and they had Mr. Howell recoil as he saw his money-filled suitcase disappear in quicksand, and they showed, in a headhunters episode, Gilligan walking by Mary Ann and Ginger as they took a mud-bath, up to their necks. But show any of the females sinking in real time? Nope.

I wonder if she would answer a fan mail request

I'm sorry, but I can't help myself: I think that's a corny idea

Wonder if she even remembers doing any of these early shoots before she became a star? Hopefully she'd be nice enough to respond without thinking "who are you people and what the hell is a quicksand fetish?" lol.

Well, we wouldn't put it that way. You just ask her if she remembers that particular photo, comment that it's kind of unusual, and ask what the circumstances were. Since she was probably photographed a million times in her career and it was at least fifty years ago I would be surprised if she remembered much about it.

Ha! Fooled you! It's all about sowing wild ... OATS!

At least that's what it looks like to me.
