1. I'm ashamed to admit it,
But I think Tammy Faye is a hoot! I loved her on "The Surreal Life"...

26. I'm not ashamed to admit I like her.
She is not one I consider a fundy though. :shrug: I like her openmindedness. I didn't particularly care for her ex-hubby Jim Bakker though. Her son, Jamie, is really cool though.

3. they were fun
they were almost like cartoonish. No one could get away with wearing that much mascara like Tammy Faye. I heard she has cancer now which is a shame because I like her

23. Definitely post-first "Playboy" spread...
She was a little less "toned" and WHOLE lot less busty in her first photo spread.
That foto is from the "Hey I LIKE preachers, so I'm fuckin' Sam Kinnison" era, I think...
Looks different here, yes?

10. Yes it was.
One such viewing was actually a pivotal moment in my life.

Another resulted in a very filthy article published in my college paper.


Had me a good time.

12. I really should read his book.
I think prison was a humbling experience for him and that he actually came out a better person.

15. She was way more amusing than that Pink Haired Jan freak on TBN.....
Edited on Sun Jul-10-05 02:03 PM by KzooDem
At least as freaky as Tammy was in her Jesus hay-day, at least the woman was an original. This Jan woman is a cheap Tammy Faye rip-off, but she's still hillarious to watch and laugh at. ET...phone hoooome!

20. I think she's sick.
Edited on Mon Jul-11-05 05:18 PM by undeterred
She talked about how she would go shopping to calm her nerves, and she was very nervous.

29. I did too.
Actually, seeing that made me feel for her. She's actually pretty openminded and seems like a really nice person. I wish she'd get political and turn out to be a die hard democrat or something. It would surprise me if she was a repug with her openmindedness. We pretty much know they aren't capable of that.

25. When I was a teen I bagged groceries for her
She gave a good tip, and was friendly. They used to live here in Orlando.
