Friday Afternoon Videos: Space Girl Raquel

Look, it's been a long few weeks, what with the Olympics and the hurricanes and the conventions and various and sundry other dramas dominating the web and television. Sometimes a person just wants to engage in a little mindless entertainment, a frivolity, if you will.

Which is why Houstonist presents you with this perplexing yet mesmerizing video of a space-aged bikini-clad Raquel Welch gyrating along with two futuristic explorers in front of a bunch of crazy deserted statues. Don't ask questions. Just sit back and enjoy.

Fashion icon, sex symbol and overall hotness Welch turns 68 today. Incidentally, the statues she's dancing in front of were erected in Mexico City exactly 40 years ago for the 1968 Summer Olympics.

Looking back at her career - it is amazing how she remained a sex symbol from the mid sixties to the early eighties.

That is a long spam in this competitive industry where the young and beautiful constantly flood Hollywood

You hit the nail on the head with both "perplexing" and "mesmerizing." Reminds me a little bit of my favorite guilty pleasure, "Barbarella." Don't judge me!
