VARGAS, OUR FAVORITE: Calendar candy.

Perhaps Alberto Vargas is Peru’s greatest export. We think so and can’t imagine having gone through adolescence and beyond without the famed calendars displaying the “Vargas Girls”. A Vargas pin-up was like none other. Starting with the Ziegfeld Follies and then moving on to Hollywood, perhaps his work for Playboy and Esquire is his finest. Flip through the Vargas Facebook page here, and read his official bio here.

OUR FAVORITE VARGAS: Candy-O.

Hard to choose a favorite “Vargas Girl” from the thousands that he created, so we’ll go with the one we likely manhandled the most (doesn’t hurt that the Cars’ Candy-O album is close to a masterpiece in itself). Read about what led the Car’s label, Elektra, to commission the work and all the dramas behind her. Drama? The record company insisted he remove the nipples and pubic hair for marketing reasons, LOL HERE.

Patriot (2015-2018): Is it dark? Kind of. Is it a comedy? Kind of. Is it a spy show? Kind of. We guys at the Throne aren’t being cagey; we just haven't been able to explain this fantastic show’s genre. And that’s what makes this a significant must-watch. Empathetic, yeah, that’s the word. We (you/us) totally feel for the travails of the main character, John Tavner, as he navigates life. Here’s the official description: “The turbulent and complicated life of an intelligence officer, whose latest assignment is to prevent Iran from going nuclear. The assignment requires him to forgo all safety nets and assume a perilous non-official cover.” We prefer a simpler description. This high guy is us. 8.2 on IMDb- Watch it on prime video. Throw in some eye drops and watch the trailer here.
