Ice Machine

Yesterday the evil Sun God finally ceased His fiery collective punishment of Southern California. If only I’d listened to this record last week. Well, better late than never.

Ice, ice, ice. And advertising. Everyone loves radio ads. Seeing as how the single most popular Toe Stubber post, in terms of links and downloads, is this one, consider this a shameless bid to recapture some of the audience I had, before this site slid back and entire months passed with only 2-3 posts up. While there’s no way any of these National Ice Association ads could possibly approach the sinful richness of the commercial for the film Loving Cousins, they are charming enough in their own right. It’s fun to hear announcers exalt Happy Summertime Family Fun while at the same time they’re warning you against death by salmonella poisoning. And, of course, packaged ice is far superior to the ice you make at home. What are you, retarded?

Apparently, ice shill Nita Talbot had a long career in films, the pinnacle of which was surely her role in Puppet Master 2 (1991).

“Actress, model and mother” Vickie Dugan was a bit harder to figure out. I thought she might perhaps be the same Vickie Dugan who got fired from her job coaching a softball team (the “Beavers”!) by either A. losing a bunch of games or B. having a vagina – depending on who you listen to. I dunno; I hate sports. More likely, it’s this Vikki Dougan, who my Dad’s generation may have masturbated to when she appeared on the TV show Sea Hunt or in various b-movies. Rrowwwr. Put some ice on that.

The Limeliters recorded a tribute to Ms. Dougan’s obvious assets on an RCA LP “The (Slightly) Fabulous Limeliters” (live) (1960-61)—“Vikki Dougan” (Vikki Turn Your Back On Me) made me laugh 45 yrs ago and it still does today…

Vikki Dougan (spelled several different ways), known professionally in the1950s as Vikki “The Back” Dugan, was a starlet who got a lot of press for awhile. In every movie she made, VD wore high-necked dresses that plunged to the nether regions in the back. The only movie I can think of in which she appeared was Universal’s “The Tattered Dress.” Hope this fills things in a little bit.

Holy cow. I used to have this album. Don’t know what the hell ever happened to it but I’m glad that I found this site. I’d been trying for years to figure out who ‘Vickie Dugan’ was and finally Googled ‘Actress Model Mother Vickie Dugan’. Mystery solved. I used to sample bits of the record and drop them into my music :D
