Moon Doggie, Gidget and Surfing

Moondoggie and the Gidget.


Sandra Dee looking oh so cute!



I think this movie came out in 1959 and I was just a few years old but I do remember watching Gidget and Tammy movies growing up. I think Moondoggie's real name in the movie was Jeff and Gidget's was Frances. Okay, now don't tell me you don't know what a Moondoogie is or Gidget because you'll just make me feel old. LOL



The other day I received a catalog in the mail for surfer girls. It was a catalog for young women who surf and it was addressed to me. Now I don't know about you but I live nowhere near a place to surf. Last I looked no one was surfing on the Ohio River and I have never picked up a surfboard in my life. So as I looked through the catalog I was reminded of my favorite surfing movies when I was growing up. I loved Gidget movies especially the ones with Sandra Dee and James Darren in it. Gidget and Moon Doggie and surfing in sunny California. Didn't you just love Sandra Dee not only in Gidget movies but also in the Tammy movies? She was just so pretty and who didn't dream of Moondoggie? My friend Cherie loved Bobby Sherman but I thought James Darren was it. He has to be at least 20 years older then I am. LOL Maybe getting this catalog is a sign I need a new hobby. So I think I'll buy me a surfboard and go find Moondoggie. Have a great weekend!
