Move over, Moondoggie!

I grew up watching all kinds of 'beach' movies; 'Beach Blanket Bingo', the Frankie and Annette films, Where the Boys Are and of course, Gidget!

I went along with Sandra Dee and Sally Field, as they surfed and danced and moped and fell in and out of love. Sure, it was silly and frivolous; but what's so terrible about that?

But until last night, I'd never seen Gidget Goes Hawaiian, or that version of Gidget, Deborah Walley.
(And Carl Reiner played her dad!)

And I know I'm supposed to go all ga-ga over Gidget's steady squeeze, Moondoggie. And sure, he's cute. A bit of a block-head, but cute.

But after Gidget Goes Hawaiian, I fell for the 'other' guy; in this case it's Eddie Horner, played by Michael Callan.



Oh, isn't he dreamy?! And exactly my type...look at those eyes!





Idle Chatter:
Well, WGN ran Gidget during the late mornings, and summer vacation was all about watching other people frolic in the sand and surf!

Actually, those closest thing to a beach we had was in Erie, and I wanted oceans, not lakes.

They just don't make those teen beach films these days, do they?
 
That's 'the closest'.

What's wrong with me today?
