TGIF and cheers, again, to reunion season … With that toast, remember that there’s always a first. And when it comes to firsts, there’s nothing quite like that first RFH reunion.

Reprise from Aug. 23, 2022, because we’re having a July heat wave …

Retro RFH TGIF Party Pals
Don’t try this at home!
It’s the balloons. Yeah, the balloons are the dangerous party tools, not the girls. Yet, while it’s doubtful that anyone would call these “innocents” of the ’70s tools, it’s a sure bet that the combination of RFH girls could be dangerous — dangerously fun, that is.
