Featured lying down

 

Whew! It’s been a while since we’ve posted. Don’t get me wrong here there is nothing at all wrong with the exception that maybe I’m playing a bit too much chess over at Chess.com with my friends – what a great group of folks! Actually the real reason, in addition to playing too much chess lies in the simple notion that I’m studying the game a lot more and from a different perspective. So there, you have it!

 

That being said now on to today’s musings. I really can’t explain what it is but lately whenever I’m at or visiting an agency; moreover, looking over some other models’ books it just seems that January was the quintessential “laying down pose month.” Especially for several of the newcomers.

I really don’t know what it insinuates, but as for me, art is art – as fashion is fashion – as is beauty to beauty – and glamour is to glamour. There is such a relationship that transpires between a model and the folks responsible for making the production. If I didn’t know better I’d refer to it as chemistry; however, not that kind of interpersonal chemistry. Mind you I do have friends that have taken their modeling to the seemingly endless limit with photographers and other crew members. 

Seriously if a person wants to get into modeling my first words of support would be to “be happy, and love what you’re doing” and take it to the max! What other profession allows a person to go out on a small 180 foot yacht, get to drink the finest champagne, normally with the most influential people on the A-list all this and much, much more for wearing a pair of a designer’s pants? Or blouse, shoes, or underwear and lingerie?  

 

 

 Look at how much fun the others’ are having! This one is even worse…look at how much harder everyone is working to make you look perfect!! Now if one cannot find a smile between these two extremes well, maybe fashion, beauty, catalog, or glamour modeling is not for you.

 

 

The point is nobody wants to work (and I do mean work!) with another person in a bad mood. That’s upcoming in the next chapter of the book – there are jobs I should have given away or got a replacement for because of my own mood. Mind you this doesn’t happen regularly, or I wouldn’t be working at all – yet there is a way to “snap too it” straight away if you are in one of those moods. 

An experiment to enjoy…

Yes, yes we know….some of these images have been featured at one time or another on our site. But hey! Is there anything wrong with really liking something and wanting to see it again?

 Actually this posting is really an experiement to see whether or not a group of images — copy and pasted into a MS Powerpoint presentation — could in fact be saved as one single photograph and posted up on the site as a montage. And [drum roll please..] it appears to be possible. Yea!!

 So far so good — but the main point is to either increase the size of the actual photograph or you know when you see a truly remarkable ad or editorial in a magazine and the page cuts it in half? Yes of course that’s Ms. Zoe D. from Canada at leftw.

That is precisely what we’re trying to do here…okay, okay, OK, so the secrets out. What we’re aiming to do is to take agency photos or near agency quality of the originals and using the grid table in PowerPoint trying to put them together as one true picture without any lines through or those unwanted creases that tend to take away from NOT the photo — but you guessed it — the model.

Right here now. So now everyone knows what I mean when we came up with the title of this weeks edition — An Experiment to enjoy! – so now I’ve come tho the realization that the sooner I start writing and less playing this article will go to print and uploaded. 

So without any further adieu let’s introduce or make mention of our feature models this week, shall we? Up top center is Hanna; and I must have had this photo of her now for about two years — simply spectacular isn’t she!? However, I could never upload it because it was in two pieces.

Just to the left of her is Cris who I feel is going to make quite an impact on the ‘beauty’ side of modeling. For those who need a short refresher, beauty and/or glamour models are those who normally lack the height (5′10-6′0 feet) to do serious runway work; therefore, their main concentration is quite lofty insofar as everything from cosmetics, to jewelry, to lingerie, to swinwear, to specialists, that is — “The Lady or Face of Guess” and the like.     

Now up just a bit in the pink shorts is to this day one of the most successful models to ever come out of Brasil, Raica O. She has been an “ALL TIME FAVE” of mine since she broke onto the international modeling and fashion scene. Just one quick fact: had Raica entered that ‘Bum of the year’ contest, there can be little doubt who’d have won! 

Actually this posting shows the finalists in the “Most Beautiful Backside Contest” to the left. Let’s see, can you name any of them? Do you think it is bad to know a lady by her bum rather than her face? Humm….interesting. Just below and left is “My Favorite American” Eliosa. She did an advertorial for a company that read “I AM an American!”  

And again, once again is the “She’s got the Summer Licked, do you?” onw of our friends here at the site insofar as she communicates regularly and gets featured a lot; her name is Sophia. 

And for one of our last features of the year 2009 is the “Face of women’secret” herself, Ms. Katarina and we’ll do our best to feature more of Katarina in 2010. Cheers gang!

South of the Border…mujeres

Many people in the world today have a keen eye and a propensity for Hispanic or Latin ladies. Don’t know if it is the youthful looking bronze skin, or just how well they look a la natural; heck we can’t put our fingers on it anymore than the next person!Far be it from us yet, doesn’t it seem as though our featured ladies have extraordinarily tight skin. We used to refer to this as ‘hot-dog skin’ meaning, that these gorgeous models are so spectacularly tight skinned it looks as though they are painted!

Indeed Brazil has had the “Title” for supermodels for some time now — and when one thinks about it maybe it is their cultural heritage to worship the sun. Nah! It takes so much more than genetics to get and maintain figures and bodies like Brazilian beauties – or for that matter, Guatemalan girls, Argentine angels, Peruvian princesses, and the marvelous Mexicans.

Okay already, okay and o.k! For most of us, especially those who have had the fortune to actually go to Brazil, or South America, or Panama, Costa Rica, or all of Central America it’s easy to place photographs of gorgeous ladies and models in their full regalia or skimperey and to write something nice about them.    

Seriously, look at Daniela over at the right. I mean don’t just look at her, but look at how well proportioned she is; look at the muscular figure and how well her body is evenly set into the “Three’s.”

So what’s up with the “Three’s”? Actually Daniela is perfect; just as is Caroline is who appears very scantly clad below and on the left. Notice how their legs match the proportion of their torsos which in turn is in perfect proportion from the clavical to the top of the head. Now if we wanted to get out of the box and say ‘other deminisions’ check this one out:

 If one were to look carefully at Daniela, Caroline, or Thalita below and left one could easily see that from ankle to knee is the same distance as knee to hips; waist to upper bossom and then upper breast to forehead. Now we’re going to ask anyone who has stopped looking long enough at these beautiful Chica’s if they’ve ever noticed these proportional characteristics in a woman before?

Well you’ve probably already guessed it by now, but the same holds true for a persons face too! It is alleged by experts that the ‘perfect face’ has equal deminisions starting at the hair line to upper eyes should equal mid-eyes to upper lip and to top it off, mid-mouth  to chin should equal the distance precisely of the other two. Therefore for a person to attain the ‘perfect facial measurements’ all three criteria should equal each other. Now then if you’re really careful you’ll notice on all of the ladies featured here this week — all of them have evenly proportioned faces as well as perfectly proportioned bodies!

That ladies and gentlemen is what scouts, bookers, managers, oh hell, everyone in the fashion/beauty/cosmentic business are looking for. As for me I think that this contributes to a persons versatility which I still believe is the key to success and supermodel-dom.           

I have long advocated that the worlds most successful models are those who are indeed the most versatile. That is what produces the “I didn’t know that was her…” declarations. Quite simply a great model can go from outfit to outfit, hair to hair, and stylist to stylist and completely change their looks from one magnificent creature to another in literally minutes. 

We were so happy that we could feature Ana below and right simply because she’s so spectacular! If one were looking, they’d notice that the distance from Ana’s elbow to shoulder is the same as the length of her thighs. I love that particular of her because she’s always smiling. A happy model!    

Okay so maybe the lovely lady below is not from the Caribbean or South America. But she is gorgeous beyone comprehension and please notice the long or the elongated thigh muscles. Her name is Esti; she’s been featured here numerous times and we simply love her!

And finally for our last featurette of the week we introduce you to Fabiana who has a following like the folks in the “New Moon” film! If she is available then there is someone the world over who is willing to fork out whatever she wants.

Ladies from the South

It would be lovely for us to feature some of our dear friends south of the border of the U.S.A. There is so much beauty and raw talent that it would just be a crime to let this go to much farther.

So for this post — which is so long overdue — by consensus it has been decided that the features or featurettes come from where seemingly the sun shines brighter and longer, although we know that is not the case.

But c’mon, let’s have some fun. First up is a real wonder-woman if there ever was one; however it migh be better phrased as wonder-lady or even girl. Meet Megan A. who needs no build up from me or anyone else. There is a catch with Megan though; she was born in Hawaii, but as far as we are concerned that’s south enough!

And of course to the right is one of our “ALL-TIME FAVES” at this site. She’s been featured here since a teenager, and it is so delightful to see her career blossoming the way that it is — just keeps on continuing to grow with more endorsements and more campaigns each year. We all know her as Gabriela. 

Just below and left is the ever-amazing Ana Carolina the consumate professional, people’s favorite, and a real crowd pleaser! Ana has a presence about her that wherever she is or whose runway she’s strutting it seems as though one could hear the collective sounds of sighs, and heads a turning.

Just as we were ready to go to publish this magnificent article featuring some of the most gorgeous females God has created we got to thinking that this would be a perfect article for Carolina!

Ah yes…little Carolina from a small village in Argentina called Santa Rosa in Pampe, Argentina; therefore, she literally is known as Pampita and most around her refer to her as that.

And to the immediate right is the delightful Deanna Miller gracing the cover of Annabelle magazine. Outside of her majestic beauty and supple asssets — the one thing that really jumped out at us in the photograph is — what?

Sure! You got it! The knickers she’s wearing brough international acclaim to two aspiring young ladies who are now in such high demand — we all know them as Sophia Coppolla who designed the knickers and of course, Scarlett Johannson who wore them in a little film called Lost in Translation.

And finally, immediately to the right is Angelina; she has been featured on this site since her earliest days as a model. She is nothing shy of simply magnificent. So with that and all the other ladies featured here we say, “Bottoms Up” girls! Have a great time while you can!

 

 

 

What’s this post about?

Okay…nice to be back — if there is one particular thing that I love about this blog it is that it really is non-specific about — everything! Moreover, it was designed to be just that. This blog was put together for the sole purpose of being able to chill-out, relax (combine the two) chilax, kick back, listen to music, and let the mind and fingers do the communicatin’ if you know what I mean.

When we first established this blog we needed a name — Ut oh! No planning went into this in the least, but how about no name for starters? We just wanted to put up photographs of models we know, some we don’t, but most of all we wanted to give the models the credit for everything they do. Have you ever been looking at a magazine, television, billboard, or any advertisement for that matter and everyone from the manicurist to the film loader gets credit –literally, everyone except the most important feature in the ad — the models!

In no short order we decided to do precisely the opposite. In the earliest posts and articles on this blog every model was mentioned by name. In fact, we’d take ads directly out of magazines and make sure we got the model’s names correct just so they’d get the credit they deserved — even Natalie L. at right with the very unique eyes.

To this very day…at the precise time of writing this little ditty, let me introduce to you one of my all time faves…Amanda H. just to the left. This is one of the greatest photographs I’ve ever seen her in and that is saying a lot insofar as I have followed her career. Amanda has done so many shows, campaigns, and advertorials that it is hard to put a finger on any one particular — with the exception of this one – she is just so radiant!

Drum roll please! Just below on the hardwood floor is an amazing young model. We have simply been covering her cute status since about day one of her modeling days…or so we think anyway. It would be difficult to say which editorial she did first but the one where we became aware of Olga E. was in a beautiful Benetton spread. The theme behind the editorial was that of being excited with friends all fabulously dressed — decked out like ‘back to school’ excitement. 

From that instant we began to take special attention with everything we could either gather, collect, or dig for keeping a watchful eye on Olga She’s also done some extensive work in a Lady Enyce campaign as well as for Target Stores.   

Although we know that the photograph chosen for this article is awesome, we nonetheless, look forward to featuring her more and more and more. We refer to her as ‘The One, the Only, Olga.’

And of course, featured on the left is none other than Flippa Hamilton, one of the most sought after and famous models working today. She is the consummate ‘Ralph Lauren’ girl and is featured on all Lauren’s ’Black Label’ high line fashion items.

This is the same model who was the victim of such a horrid scandal involving photo-shopping images that rocked just about everyone in the print,  audio & visual industry — especially those magazines that feature advertising as their main source of existence. This is the real Flippa - and at publication we have had zero confirmation as to whether this shot was altered.

As for Miyuki, the model below and right we’ve had this photograph for eons…years and this is the first time we’vebeen able to feature it. Maybe you can figure it out as to why. We hope so and we’ll wait until someone responses with why we waited to long to actually produce this photo, it’s really not that big of a deal — it is a great photo and she is absolutely stunning! 

Now then does anyone have a clue to what this post is about?

 

A little bit of this…a little bit of that

As for this new article we’ve been caught between the cross-hairs of wanting to go with a complete black and white theme or go with full color to brighten up the pages. Therefore, during the preparation for this article — mostly lay-out and who we wanted to feature — by the time we had come to consensus as to what we aspired to do, low and behold this is what we came up with before writing a word.                      

Whew! And did we ever! We included the luminescent black and white (left), basic black and white (below right), and some antique black and white showing marvelous talent with the arm and hand (lower left).

And again it is the full color shots that will spark attention for this posting. Just below is a photograph of a couple of friends of yours truly that I’ve been wanting to share for eons; all things being equal, it is a marvelous advertorial but can you guess for what? Oh yes…it hasn’t been published insofar as we hadn’t spoken with anyone in the shoot and unless the shots are public domain or within the guidelines of the Creative Commons we’d prefer not to engage in any misgivings.

As most regular readers and on-lookers already know we honor the integrity of every model that has ever been featured on this site. Again, one of our greatest intentions is to give them as much, or more exposure as possible. That’s the way that most models live — someone sees ‘a look’ or a representation of their branding and the calls start a coming and any booker worth his or her salt can set it up instantly.

One further statement about the photograph to the left is the notion of fantasy — that is the entire mystique and glamour behind just going crazy and getting nutz or even naughty in the back of a limousine. 

So there you go fellas…there is a true fantasy of almost every friend or acquaintance I know. Try it out, if you haven’t already — it is absolutely amazing for the stamina and as most of us will readily admit, there’s nothing quite like the feel of cool leather or even vinyl on one’s naked skin. I’ve actually been told that entire plans have gone array once the festivities begin! 

Gosh I love that entire photograph; there’s something about it that is so expressive — so gentle, rowdy, ‘Euro whatever’ and a real handful enough for both of them! As for me, I think it’s the champagne!      

Moving on just a bit now, what can be said about that arm work?  T-A-L-E-N-T!! Actually I knowhow the photographer set up this shot — but do you know? Actually it is really amazingly interesting how great photographers can take the seemingly smallest details and make them the high light of the shot. The again you already know how much a truly great photographer makes images appear in an artwork all of their own.

 Whilst on a ‘Blog Crawl’ the other day I ran into this article — of course heavily inspired by the shot immediately to the right — that by the looks of the picture that dealt with some kind of female pleasure. So being intrigued as I was I read the article — which turned out to be rather brilliant! So I say to myself, ‘…I need to get the link of this article and share it with our loyal readers for and on behalf of those women, you know, that can make things really easy or really difficult.’ It was a refreshing read and indeed the most open and up-front disclosure by just about anyone I know. Give it a read.

And lastly for this article, I have this really good i-friend who is becoming a model and she is killing em’. Every post she writes, and every outfit she shares is like the most up-beat and trendy thing every put together.

She is also one of those people who is just a stunner; you know the kind, no matter what they have on — they look awesome! Well one of these days maybe she’ll pop on by this site and give this article a read. Why? Well having just a bit of experience in these matters – fashionista – it is definitely time in her young career to wear and model what Ms. Jessie is wearing below. It is definitely time for her (my i-buddy) to strut her stuff.

Oh yes…just one more thing…she has her own photographer who is growing a a rate that is almost as fast as her subject is as a model. A shout-out to all of my friends at Chess.com and I can never, ever leave out The Fashion Model Directory, and to my friends — you know who and where you are. Cheers!! 

 

Something wonderful!

It wasn’t until I became involved with fashion — fashion models in particular — that I realized that a lot of and I want to espouse that the majority of the Top 50 fashion models to whatever degree have some Asian in their ethnic make-up. 

Interestingly for me personally is that this fact leaped into my consciousness when I started covering Russian models! It’s like ‘Go figure, right?’

Yet knowing of the Asian component, moreover, the expanse of Russian ‘Sovietism’ I started looking a top fashion models in a completely different way. The days of measurements, height, weight, and style appeal were gone; yet the days of bone structure, entire facial composition, as well as limbs in relation to the human form altogether had only just begun.  

And here is a real gift — skin and a sense of embracing beautiful. Over a period of time I began to realize that just about everyone I looked at was part Asian! Now then…the degree or percentage make-up to me is of very little concern if at all. In fact, there are a lot of folks who believe that half caucasian and have Asian children (‘Hoppa’) are the most well suited combination of humankind. As for me, that is a matter in which I have no mastery or level of competence whatsoever. Seriously say we take a lovely lady from the Dominican Republic and she marries a man who is 1/2 Japanese and 1/2 European. Furthermore, I am convinced that the reasons that Brazil and Russia have so many beautiful women is in the notion that both ethnic groups and Asians have had a wonderful history of surviving at the most difficult times — together.  

As for me it wasn’t until I was in the position to start identifying models in various campaigns and advertorials that I started noting this one or that one had Asian features. Think of it kind of like this: Why does everyone’s jaw drop when they see Kristen Kreuk? How about Lucy Liu?

Sometimes, actually most of the time that we see these stunning people we know, yet, we just don’t acknowledge or understand what makes them so spectacular. When I look at Jessica Alba, or Joy Nakayama, or Anna Watanabe I am immediately reminded how talented and fabulously looking these ladies are.

Then again in every aspect that life deals us, there will always be a standout person of Asian descent; sports — figure skating, diving, sumo wrestling, golf (of course we haven’t forgotten about Tiger Woods!) tennis, and especially medicine. Please understand that this is not a posting for ‘our favorite Asian’ award; it is a posting to say, “Hey! Look at the beauty and talent of these folks!”

Right then…this week we’ve looked at some people who have Asian to whatever degree or percentage one of these models may have shared with another nationality or ethnic group.

Our next post is going to focus only on the ‘pure-breds’ albeit Japanese, Chinese, Filipino, Korean, and Vietnamese.

Yet if only for a moment we would like to say something about Devon Aoki who is pictured in the lower right. Devon is a major model success and moreover she is also quite the box office sensation as well. She’s not only been in, but starred in all of the ‘Sin City’s’ and numerous others as well as commercials.

And just as always we’d like to thank each of our models here: Akemi, Olga, Devon, Jarah, Stephanie, and Mick. But most of all we’d like to thank and give a huge ’shout out!’ to The Fashion Model Directory and the fine crew they have maintaining their site.

It is one of those sites that changes almost every time one goes there.

 

 

Advertising…Hummm

 Just a quick ’shout out’ to our friends! Hiya gang — enjoying the site? This site is dedicated to our Creator for his magnificent work of creation. In particular, we want to say ‘thank you god’ for out doing yourself endlessly.    

Every time we think we’ve seen the majesty of your handiwork we, somehow, are simply amazed at what we see and experience. We mean, take a look at Anastassia to the left. Have you ever seen such long lines? Better still is her muscles that support her every inch. She seems so comfortable just cruisin’ through those sandy mountains — looking as though she doesn’t have a care in the world.

For this particular segment we would like to look at how some of the big Madison Avenue advertiser’s use the lovely gifts one is endowed with at birth to promote their or a company’s products.

A couple of issues come immediately to mind when we address advertising; namely, advertising is a medium that can either work for you, or, precisely the opposite meaning, if the general public is offended with the ad then it does work against your product. In reality there have been great advertising campaigns where companies have flourished; however, there are other circumstances that have so offended the buyers at large that regardless of how great the product is, it is not going to sell.

That is about enough of an introduction for advertising. One issue that we want to look at in particular is that some advertising giants simply go over-the-top with the exploitation of women on the one hand, and on the other hand it seems as though more and more advertisers are pushing the edge constantly with sex and or sensuality splashed all over the ad.

Therefore for this particular article we’ve decided to feature a few suggestive advertisements and ask YOU to comment or give feedback as to what you feel. Cool? Thank you.

Throughout this article some of the world’s most gorgeous women are featured. Yet, we would like to ask EVERYONE what the meaning of the advertisement is, what is being promoted, and a look at how it’s being promoted. For example just to the left is a stunning model who appears to be having a bit of water to drink.

However upon closer perusal it doesn’t take a genius to sort out what is going on in the photograph. Anyone please share with us why is the model licking her middle finger with droplets of water dripping off of her hand?         

Far be it from us but the seductive look in the model’s eyes doesn’t exactly make the faucet jump out at us. If you look closely the photo is basically a lady with her head over a faucet and it appears that she’s getting a drink of water. Yet for some reason we don’t think that the focus of the ad is water, sink, or the trendy new faucet.           

Now is the stunning model at right promoting the “crop growers of the world” or is it a jewelry ad? For all we know it certainly could be a nail polish ad featuring the the new strawberry color. Or on the other hand is the advertisement could be for toothpaste, mouth wash, or facial foundation. The model is awesome!  

If the cover of i-D magazine is selling anything what do you suppose it is? We’re still have a bit of difficulty with this one. We certainly know what it looks like and the quote from the model, Agyness, at the bottom of the cover “Feel the fear and do it anyway” really sort of goes along with a few other cliches we aware of namely, “If you can’t be with the one you love, honey, love the one you’re with.”

With the greatest of respect for the magazine and how quickly Agyness has risen in her young career it has just been phenomenal! All things being considered however, we think that the quote on the magazine cover may just as well be “Catch”. What is the fear she alludes too? Moreover, how does one train a model to strike that pose?

Now, just out of courteousy, what do you suppose is being advertised in the photo to the right? Don’t get us wrong, we love the photograph, and who cares what’s being advertised — but what is the focus of the ad?

Then again as we look at the stunning model on the left, amidst the forest alongside the river bank, carrying that gorgeous guitar, and I guess taking a break from a long session of music…or something.

What is the significance of the popsicle? Better still anyone notice the chain that adorns her entire trunk? Anyone also notice the smashed and crumpled grass behind her? Is it like multi-tasking — or being able to do several things at once? Heck if we know; therefore, we attribute this to simply great art! If one takes the likes of the magnificent model (one definitely could do no wrong) yet with the dress hiked up, holding the guitar, and sucking on a popsicle is fabulous art.

Although we can all come to the conclusion that a model’s job is to model; subsequently there comes a great degree of acting which again supports our theory that models are easily trained or natural actors, because they are interacting with the products and photographers all shoot long.

 

 And these are the kind of photo artsy type of advertising that I love! Most of you have probably already seen this advertisement — its very common on the Internet — yet I just love optical illusions. So what do you think this is an advertisement for — thong lingerie, panties or what?

 

 

 

 

 

A little Spanish, French, Swiss, and Yankee

We cannot possibly speak for everyone — but this much we can — the female anatomy is a testimont to our Creator’s handiwork! When I see the likes of young Viktoria (left) it is hard for me to think of evolution, Darwin, Spencer, or any other ‘we crawled out of the sea’ types. Seriously! Just look at her!

Every single curve of her looks like a brilliant sculpture — I mean she looks like the type of lady that got all of the best parts of every woman ever conceived. Notice the curvature of her lower back, and the flatness of her tummy; moreover, what can be said about that bum! Her skin is so tight on her she looks as though one could just sit and bounce coins off of her legs. 

 What could ever be said about the model cum stunner below and to the right? Her modeling portfolio is indeed larger than any agency or website could ever hold. I have no idea how many times she’s been photographed by the world’s most renowned shutterbugs but this we will say for sure: Flippa was born to model.

She is simply spectacular and has been since she started at the age of 16 years old. And yes!! That is Flippa just below in her first ever campaign…for Ralph Lauren no less! Most models work a careers worth to be one of ‘Ralph’s girls’ but Flippa with her abundant blessings was actually recruited by Ralph Lauren himself.

 Just for the sake of formality, on the left is Flippa at 16 years of age in the Lauren campaign for “Romance” perfume.

 And just below to the left is another very, very recent photograph of Flippa in a magnificent lingerie campaign.

We’re really not certain if we could ever say enough about her. Young, well-read, successful, intelligent, and drop dead gorgeous all in one.

 

 

 

 

Center and just below is the magnificent ‘Megan Mac.’ Who much like Flippa started at a very young age…perhaps around 13 to 14 years of age. Megan is forever a Sports Illustrated model and it would be close to see if anyone has appeared in the magazine more times than she. A consummate professional and always working hard, Ms. Megan has of sorts been so blessed in this business that she is having indeed what most espouse as either her second wind or maybe her third go around, however, more popular than ever! 

 

And then we all have some of our own faves like Viktoria just to the left and Elsa just over here below and to the right.   What can possibly be said about Elsa? She’s been at the top of the modeling industry forever; moreover, this SI Swinsuit cover has been voted the Best Cover of all Time for SI.          

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

College ladies and summer…

Here we are again…another time for sharing friends with friends and hopefully getting that heart rate up just a bit whilst marveling at some of the most gorgeous females in the world who never see the the world from the Askmen.com’s top 100 list.

Quite openly, when I see some of the ladies who’ve made the list — as well as what number they come in at never ceases to amaze me.

However, will all due credit to Askmen.com they are not the one’s who allegedly make the decisions — it’s supposed to be the public voting that does it. And this year there just might be some crediability to that:

Earlier I was at the site a couple of weeks ago and noticed that Katherine Heigl was listed at number one! Well, needless to say I was thrilled beyond words. Katherine Heigl is quite special to me in so many ways. She is a multi-talented person who just seems able to do it all. She does things that are so cute and I’m not even sure the theater audience knows or even sees her greatness.  

Seriously, I remember when I first saw her — it was a film, a Steven Seagal film even where she played his 16-year-old niece. I thought her performance was quite good all things being equal. Yet, when I used up every source I have, all my bribe money, and all my ’seed’ money just to get more information on her and it was like nothing I’d ever seen or experienced before or since!

It was like this shroud of mystery and silence around her. I knew she was special then, and she’s developed into an even more special person now some 33 films later, the number one show on television in Gray’s Anatomy (Isabel), and whether she’s Knocked Up or seen in 27 Dresses!

Just one last itty-biddy about Katherine ‘Kate” Heigl: She’s as real  In other words she’s the real deal! 

 

While we may get older, they never do!
