It's a tittilating Tuesday with Gil Elvgren !

Those who are familiar with Spain know that Today is special since it is the day of the patron saint of the entire country. For some reason it's not a holiday which I find a bit strange since usually the spaniards take every chance to eat, drink and party hard. Anyway, though it is a special day in Spain the day has not been very special for me - not only have I spent most of the day in offices doing bureaucratic stuff like filling out forms or mundane things like going shopping I also could not buy anything special like cake, pastries, pizza, hamburgers, ice cream or champagne to at least celebrate the day in that fashion. And to top it all off right now I have two guys here cutting down the trees ( although I have no idea why they have to be cut in the first place ) who are making a hell of a ruckus which is slowly but steadily giving me the mother of all the headaches. So in true Subzero fashion I have decided to at least make this day special for my faithful followers and what better way is there to do just that than by posting something I normally don't do or at least very seldom. And in this case it's the sexy art of pin up icon Gil Elvgren.

I remember the show was must see tv ( not only because Ingrid wore really skimpy outfits and sometimes even went topless ) and it´s really indicative of the kind of tv program we have Today that a show from the 70s has more political commentary and social critique than most german tv productions from Today. Now the problem with Klimbim is that the episodes you find are of very bad quality or are split up in three parts.

Or if you find an episode in high quality it does have the wrong picture frame with 16:9 instead of 4:3 which was the standard frame back then.

So imagine my joy when I found a YouTube channel that not only has episodes one , two , three , four , eleven in normal quality - which for Klimbim is rare enough - but also episodes five , six , seven , eight , nine and ten and in high quality and in the right picture frame to boot. As it could not be any other way the embedding has been disabled so I can't include them in this post but at least you can watch them on YouTube.

Especially my german visitors might want to check the channel out because there are a lot of episodes of Grisu, Catweazle and Die Zwei.

If this may seem familiar that is because I already included this part in my Frank Thorne RED SONJA tribute post and the reason I decided to repeat this is that I found a channel with a lot of Klimbim episodes.

Granted, a few of the episodes are missing and they don't have any in high quality but they are all in normal quality - plus you can actually embed these - and besides high profile guest stars like Jerry Lewis or Wencke Myhre they even have some where Ingrid Steeger is topless.

Ingrid was never quite happy with her image as a sexbomb / jokester girl but I have to say that being sexy AND funny is no small feat to pull off if you consider how many of Todays younger actresses try at this and fail.

Anyway, Ingrid most stuck to what she did best and she did not only bring a godgiven natural sensuality but also a kind of naivite to her roles. I am not the only person who thought that Busenwunder Ingrid Steeger was predestined for the role of sexy air hostess with her body that will not quit because she did indeed play that part - alongsidegermanmegaMILFIrisBerben who played the straight girl to Ingrid´s crazy girl - in Zwei Himmlische Töchter ( Two Heavenly Daughters ) and it´s one of her most famous roles. If you don´t know Iris Berben, she is one of those actresses who doesn't seem to age as she looked like 20 when she was already 50.

Zwei Himmlische Töchter is a funny series that has some famous german actors on it like political comedian Dieter Hildebrandt and if you watch it Today it´s hard to understand why it was only on tv after midnight.

Initially I wanted to post the fifth episode of Susi with the famous nude scene of Ingrid Steeger but that scene is also the reason why the episode was slapped with an age restriction so I can only include the link here .
