Roye shares his experience at the famed 'Baywatch' set in
Manhattan
WHEN it first hit
the small screen it made us wonder if such gorgeous creatures actually inhabit
our planet. Babewatch on the boob tube, we called it
then.
Me...
In Paradise City
Now we had a
chance to see the babes in real life. We, that is, wifey and I, were on the
famed Manhattan Beach where they shot the 'Baywatch' show. I was wondering if
they were shooting CJ (Pamela Anderson's character) sprinting in the sand in the
episode that morning. I should add here that I'd have preferred one of my
golfing buddies on this outing rather than the
wife.
On the beach, was the
familiar watchtower. Orange life-buoys et al. There seemed little activity
inside though. No lifeguards. No David Hasselhoff. No babes. Maybe we were early
for the surf and sea action. White sand. Seagulls flew low over the water. Some
children were playing with a Frisbee. But where were the
babes?
Praise
The Lord! A Blonde!
As I put my
camera away, I kicked the sand and said, "Maybe there's no shoot scheduled
today. What the #@*qs!!" The wife said, "Speak up, hon. I can't hear you over
the seagulls?" "Nothing," I muttered and kicked more sand.
After about an hour of
beach combing, we got ready to leave. Just about then I saw a couple of girls
jogging in the distance. Oh boy! I pulled out my camera and stopped. These were
no babes. These were babies - gawky, pimply pre-teens - racing to the hot dog
stand!
Wifey feigned
sadness and suppressing a mischievous smile said, "Don't worry, something is
bound to come your way!" It did. As we got ready to leave, I saw, in the
distance a fetching figure with sunglasses coming down the steps. Wifey shrieked
and jumped up and down, "A blonde! A blonde at last for my husband. Grab that
pic!" Confused I chased the giggling wife across the sand to the steps. There I
clicked her and the
blonde.
You won't believe
what happened next. Introductions and pleasantries over, the blonde smiled and
said, "Lemme take a picture of you
guys."
If I look sheepish
and silly in that picture with a wife that's doubling up with laughter, please
forgive me. I don't know how you'd have reacted if you were shot by a
71-year-old platinum blonde in a thong!
