Was a right-wing Sarasota blogger once the muse of noted sexploitation auteur Russ Meyer?

If you’ve ever spent much time browsing the right-wing Sarasota-based blog Theodore’s World you know what kind of enlightened and thought-provoking commentary to expect from anonymous publisher Wild Thing.
She has declared our current Congress “from HELL,” writing “Satan himself couldn’t plan evil as well,” and of President Obama’s rhetorical power, she writes, “Satan gave him temporary power.” And don’t go thinking the man was actually elected: “America currently has no Executive branch. It has a Democrat coup. That coup has declared war on the legitimate US government, the people of the United States, and the Constitution.” Why a coup? Well, because that is the best way to further one’s “plan to destroy America from the inside out,” of course.
And all those quotes are drawn just from the last five weeks. The site’s hateful archives go back to September 2005.
So why give more attention — and pageviews — to a clearly unhinged personal blog? Well, what if I told you the author of all those posts is none other than the red-topped brunette in this NSFW clip:
Read on, friend.
Wild Thing never uses her full name on her blog, and has only posted long-ago pics of herself and her husband on her site. Nevertheless, in her comments section, she is often referred to as “Chrissie,” and the Facebook page of one Nick Dimitri Siggelakis lists his wife as Chrissie Siggelakis, and posts a link to Theodore’s World under the heading “My wife’s BLOG.”
We can also infer that Wild Thing’s first name is Christina from the bio page of her site, which also includes numerous shots of her as a younger woman with some Hollywood big-shots: Hugh Hefner, for one (image above), but also Batman star Adam West and Los Angeles Lakers owner Jerry Buss. Nevertheless, she remains stingy with details about her career, and how she became friends with such power players. She does mention, though, that she appeared in a pair of movies: the 1982 film Wacko and a 1981 made-for-TV movie titled Margin for Murder. And only one Christina appeared in both those projects: Christina Cummings.
All right, so what’s the connection to the clip posted?
The excerpt is taken from the 1975 film SuperVixens, directed by noted sexploitation auteur Russ Meyer, best known for trashy camp classics like Faster, Pussycat! Kill! Kill! and Beyond the Valley of the Dolls (the latter scripted by one Roger Ebert). The SuperVixens actress in question is billed as Christy Hartburg, whose Wikipedia page says this: “[Hartburg] also performed under the alias Christina Cummings in several films and TV shows.” Ah ha!
Even though Hartburg’s role in SuperVixens is quite limited, her image just happened to adorn numerous posters for the flick:
You can see a whole gallery of similar images here.
So, is the connection between Theodore’s World and Russ Meyer real? Tough to say for sure, considering the argument relies on Wikipedia for a source. Wild Thing won’t reply to MySpace messages, and Siggelakis won’t reply to Facebook queries, which means we may never know. If I find out anything more, believe me you’ll be the first to know.

Damn. I thought Wild Thing was a man. Who knew?

Interesting. I’m acquainted with Chrissie IRL, and never knew she was a conservative power-blogger or a Hollywood bunny.

Like any of this makes her any less right and you leftist dupes any less wrong about the economy or national defense.
This really is leftist retardation in motion – You Commiecrats make pretend, caricatured standards of what conservatives and patriots care about and then call balls and strikes based on your fantasy.
So I looked around for these pics. Considering the big deal being made, I expected, ya know, real hardcore jackoff worth nudity. Instead, the only one I’ve seen is so mild it’d easily make the cover of Vogue. Hell, Victoria’s Secret catalogs show worse regularly. Yawn.
There is no one on this planet more puritanical than a Leftist on a “hypocrisy” tirade. It’s so cute when you leftist Commiecrats are up-tight prudes who get a panic attack at the mere thought of s-e-x.

Your reading skills need some work, Curmudgeon. Please point out where I criticize the actress in question.

Oh puhleeze, you whiny turd. That was the whole point of your post. It has become the lazy Left’s apologetic tactic. If a conservative opposes an issue in the “progressive” agenda then attack anything that would be inconsistent with the folks living in Pleasantville, which is the Left’s view of what they think we want.

The hypocrisy comes from the Evangelical Right. Many of these born-againers, F’ed snorted, drank everything they crossed. Then they find God, which is fine, but all of a sudden they feel WE should all live by their rules. They try to ban sex education, burn books and cd’s. They restrict the types of alcohol that can be sold in the state (see Alabama). They protest adult businesses and boycott stores that advertise with “liberal” media outlets.
If I am elected to office I will promise that if any church is found promoting a political candidate or cause, they will lose their tax-exempt status for 10 years. They will be the true Patriot and pay taxes.

Who ever said Chrissy was evangelical?
But fine, let’s talk about those who later repent, “No Maude”.
Let me get this straight: for you leftists hamster-stuffing, fisting, and buttpiracy is all right? But if a beauty pageant contestant poses semi-topless that’s the heighth of hypocrisy because she’s a Christian? What’s next? Releasing audio of Christian truck drivers who curse? Publishing photos of Christian plumbers who show booty crack? How about surveillance photos of Christians who SKIP church!? Will the hypocrisy never cease?
The reason any conservative’s failing is always major news is that it allows liberals to engage in their very favorite taunt: Hypocrisy! Hypocrisy is the only sin that really inflames them. Inasmuch as liberals have no morals, they can sit back and criticize other people for failing to meet the standards that liberals simply renounce. It’s an intriguing strategy. By openly admitting to being traitors, philanderers, liars, weasels and cowards, liberals avoid ever being hypocrites.

You’re doing this for no other reason than to try and hurt someone with an opinion that differs from yours.
Man up and just admit it.
You’re a bigoted misogynist pussy.

What you really need little boy is to get screwed in the ass by your hero, the messiah. Ya know, Barry Hussein O’Vomit, your hero and half breed leader of the vanishing America. FUCK YOU!
May 15th, 2009 at 3:16 pm
Wow, a racist comment from the readers of Ted’s world. Surprising.
May 15th, 2009 at 3:24 pm
“epic investigative piece”?
so now a 5 minute Google search is “epic”?
what a tool….
I hope you don’t do this for a living.
May 15th, 2009 at 5:27 pm
I’m afraid your point is a bit obscure… You’re saying you don’t agree with the blogger *and* she has nice boobage?
And….?

Chrissy and Linda, truthfully I wouldn’t give this left wing hack the time of day. The two posts at his site pertaining to Chrissy have generated more comments than ALL his posts this year. Yes, I went thru his archives.(Hangs head in shame) And almost half of THOSE comments are his replys to comments. I believe I can count his readers without taking off my shoes. Until today I was blistfully unaware of this guy and I am looking foward to the time I will be again.
