![]() For their second concept video, the group broke the bank. They would need concept videos with exciting images. But the director was thrilled with the fountain footage, and used the footage already shot that day, forgetting about the original plan to have the Go-Gos shopping at a mall.įleetwood Mac must have realized that they needed to get their videos to air on the new MTV if they wanted success. They were ignored, and instead complained about being wet and cold as an excuse to abandon the shoot. They had hoped the nearby cop on foot patrol would arrest them, shutting the video shoot down before they shot any interior footage of them in the stores. The girls suggested to the director that they could walk around the edge of the fountain for the video, the surprised him by running into the middle and attempting to swim in it. The Go-Gos saw an opportunity to sabotage the video shoot when they passed a water fountain with a sign warning against swimming, and anyone attempting to do so would be arrested. It was to involve the girls driving around the streets of California in their convertible, visiting beauty salons, shopping for dresses, and doing other activities you would associate with teenage girls in the 1950s. Part of that image change involved a music video they definitely didn't want to do. felt the band needed an image change, from leather clad badasses to the sweet girls from next door. Records in 1980, they had been a hard core punk rock band that was just transitioning to New Wave. Whenever I heard Physical on the radio, I replayed that music video in my mind, only with the shower scene fully shown. You only saw this in a couple of very brief shots, and disappointingly from the shoulders up, but you could see she still had her blue top on, and looked exhausted. She got into the shower still wearing her workout clothes. Was she about to reenact the picture on the single? Better than that. Olivia abandoned the class and headed to the locker room, looking a bit exhausted. She was a sadistic aerobic instructor to a class of overweight men, and it was them that were getting exhausted, not her. Then the music video for Physical aired on Americas Top 10, and it took place in a gym. I must have spent weeks fantasizing of Olivia exercising in a gym to exhaustion. I didn't realize yet what that picture really looked like, or why I was responding to it. As a young teen, it seemed like every few weeks I would discover something else women did that I found sexy. I had assumed it was Olivia, after an intense aerobic workout, about to pass out from exhaustion. Was this why I found women getting their clothing wet sexy? That subconsciously I knew of the possibility that the dampness of the clothing would give them the appearance of nudity? Despite this only being on screen for a second, and Kelly strategically posed so nothing was actually showing, for me it was the sexiest thing I had ever seen up to that point. But for me, the highlight of the commercial was when Kelly took a break from her wonderful life, went into her back yard wearing a white dress shirt top, and sprayed her garden hose up into the air so the returning droplets soaked her shirt. The implications here that you too can look this glamorous and be invited to these exclusive events if you slap Covergirl makeup on your face. The Covergirl commercial had model Kelly Emberg living the fabulous life of a celebrity, showing up at red carpet events, being taken to the fanciest restaurants, and ending up at a yacht party, all in a montage which had her wearing different sexy outfits. This culminated in what was the ultimate wet clothing scenario of the early 80s. Still, the occasional soaking of a fully dressed girl would make my week. ![]() ![]() My teenage hormones were set loose, and I discovered a wide variety of things women did or outfits they wore just as sexy as seeing one take a dip in a swimming pool while wearing a gown. Then all the other things I found attractive about women kicked in. ![]()
