Olympic gymnast Mary Lou Retton
and Tampax menstrual tampons
Like Cathy Rigby a gymnast, but a more successful
one - as a matter of fact, she was the first American
to win the all-around gymnastics title in the Olympics, scoring perfect
scores, 10s, in the vault and floor exercise in 1984 - Mary Lou Retton,
like Rigby, married a football player, earned a lot of money in advertising,
and made some movies, entertaining ones, but not about bulimia, which afflicted
the older woman. And she chose tampons to advertise, whereas Rigby picked
pads.
Many pictures, long download!
