Jeanie the Genie re-appears in Austria

Post by Fairportfan »

Barbara Eden dressed in her I Dream of Jeannie costume for a good cause last week.

She wore the costume at the Life Ball in Vienna Saturday, 5/25/13, where she appeared with Bill Clinton for HIV/AIDS fund raising.

Okay, is it just me that is under the impression that Clinton's theme song starts off

I guess Larry Hagman was unable to attend... :?

Although I have to say her costume was rather tame compared to what some other people wore (or didn't) there - at least as far as what you saw on TV... :)

Well, twofold props to Ms. Eden! Firstly for proving the costume still fits after all this time, secondly for putting it on again for such a good cause. :)

Heh. You can almost tell that "Jeanie" was probably Mr. Clinton's boyhood crush; look at the grin on his face. :D

Unfortunately, since i saw "The Crimson Horror", i know that Diana Rigg wouldn't look as good in one of Mrs Peel's jumpsuits these days...

Uh Yea the late Mr Hagman would have a very difficult time being there. He is missed by his fans.

He could have been put in the ashtray behind her.

Kudos to Barbara Eden.

Loved that show as a kid and an adult.

This gives me an opportunity to pose a quandary.

I'm surprised Pablo hasn't put Monica, or anyone else, in a Jeanie costume for Halloween, either in a comic strip or the Gallery. Or at least doing the crossed arms and nod before a poit.

Same goes for Samantha Stevens' [Bewitched] nose wiggle poit.

Hostling dragons is similar to hostling horses, but ya need a bigger shovel, oh, and bigger nose plugs. Don't forget the nose plugs!

Maybe he doesn't want to step on CD Rudd's shtick with I Dream of a Jeanie Bottle...

I forgot about that comic, good catch.
I don't buy your theory though.
Teleportation references are hard to come by, especially humorous ones.
