I really can’t offer much of a good reason for spending $50 on getting a signed photo plus and picture taken with 70s supermodel Cheryl Tiegs. It’s not like she’s done all that much in the world of entertainment. In fact, among the few shows on which she’s appeared, she was merely playing herself on episodes of Moonlighting and Just Shoot Me. But the name sticks out as a rather iconic emblem of beauty in the 1970’s – the decade that I come from – so I just felt I had to catch her at the Chiller Show in Parsippany, New Jersey, on Saturday, October 30, 2010. (I had actually bypassed her at the Hollywood Show earlier that Spring.)
Making it a little more worthwhile was the fact that she was actually quite nice. I asked her to pick out her favorite among her photos and she chose the great 1978 pink bikini shot that became a very famous pop culture icon of the 1970’s. Over the years, Cheryl had adorned the cover of the Sports Illustrated swimsuit issue no less than three times. It’s easy to see why.
Moreover, getting a photo with this still-hot 63 year old model, coupled with another photo earlier in the year with Mogan Fairchild, made my friend Rick Greene jealous, so yeah, it was totally worth it!
