Annette Funicello / From Mouseketeer to Beach Body

anonymous  asked:
Don't know if she ever did any nude stuff, but have you got any Annette Funicello? My boyhood crush!


Nope, no nude stuff. But here is original Mouseketeer beauty. Step aside Britney and Christina!

Annette Funicello was an Italian actress who rose to fame in the Mickey Mouse Club and was a teen idol who starred in the “Beach Party” series. When she was cast in her first beach movie, Walt Disney requested that she wear only modest bathing suits and keep her navel covered. However, she wore a pink two-piece in Beach Party, a white two-piece fishnet suit in the second film (Muscle Beach Party) and a blue and white bikini in the third (Bikini Beach). All three swimsuits bared her navel, particularly in Bikini Beach, where it is visible extensively during close up shots.

What a rebel!!!
