Here’s another one that needs answering:
Okay, regardless of who these people are (most Murkins have no idea, which is not important), here are the the dramatis personae.
Holly Willoughby (no stranger to these pages, of course)
Alison Hammond (another Brit TV personality, and owner of the Most Irritating Voice On TV)
Ignoring what was said — trust me, it probably wasn’t that bad, it’s Brit TV — my question is: how would one tell if the latter was blushing?
Well, this caught my attention:
Sacha Baron Cohen turns heads on set of Ladies First alongside Rosamund Pike
Sacha Baron Cohen is a total twat and a plonker, but Rosamund Pike? Hoo-ah.
I first saw this hottie in Episode 1 of the wonderful TV show Foyle’s War, and have been smitten ever since. I know, I know, she’s a lot skinnier than my typical objets d’amour, but good grief, she’s beautiful.
I see that Miss Denmark won the Miss Universe 2024 competition, beating off out several people who had no business being there, e.g. trannies, married women (did the “Miss” part not give it away?), and in a moment of pure confusion, Joe Biden.
However: in the “national costume” part of the competition, Victoria Kjær Theilvig made a HUGE mistake, in dressing as a Viking goddess.
I mean, was she not aware that Vikings had a terrible reputation for invading and (gasp) colonizing other countries? (“Pillaging” is okay, see BLM riots, and besides, most of the pillagees were eeeevil Christianists anyway.) And then there was the raping, which was pretty much a side benefit of the invading activity.
Did she not know that wearing such a costume would trigger the collective memory of women all over Western Europe, causing heartfelt anguish?
I’m amazed that all the affected countries aren’t calling for the Danish government to pay reparations. Well, I would be amazed, except that Europeans seem to have come to terms with the fact that all this happened a really long time ago, all the perpetrators (and their victims) have long since died, and expecting reparations would be a truly foolish idea.
But that’s not what prompted me to write this post; this did:
I haven’t seen all her competitors, but I’m pretty sure that the trannies and such didn’t look half as good as she does.
It’s a good thing that all Viking women didn’t look like this back in the day, or else ol’ Leif Erikson and the other boss Vikings would have had a hell of a time finding enough men to go off and do the invading / pillaging / exploring thing.
Here’s a lass named Wendy Glenn, who joined some Brit soap opera or other as a youngin, and stayed on for decades:
She even inspired some bloke to paint a pic of her:
And I have to say that now, some decades later, she’s still quite toothsome:
I have to admit that I’ve always enjoyed Bruce Dern’s little girl Laura in her movies. She’s not pretty in the traditional Hollywood sense (whatever that is), but she’s rather sexy.
And I loved her in Rambling Rose:
Now, at an advanced age (for Hollywood) she gets to play with the hotties:
Laura Dern has admitted she felt ‘so lucky’ to be able to perform a racy sex scene with younger costar Liam Hemsworth in their new movie Lonely Planet.
The romantic drama, which landed on Netflix on October 11, sees Dern’s character Katherine Loewe, a successful and respected writer, travel to a Moroccan resort to finish her latest literary novel – which is where she meets Hemsworth’s character Owen Brophy.
New Wife and I watched Lonely Planet the other night, and it was quite enjoyable despite its obvious unreality (when was a rom-com ever realistic, anyway?), because in no small part Laura’s performance made it credible. (And the “racy sex scene”? Compared to some of her other efforts — e.g. her bedtime activities with Nicholas Cage in Wild At Heart — it was brief, and unlikely to cause Hemsworth’s family much embarrassment.)
Anyway, here’s Laura over the years:
And she’s now 57?
Lovely.
Okay, there was some stupid awards show or other in NYfC (I know, who cares?) but what made it noteworthy is that my two favorite Taco Totties arrived hand-in-hand:
Yup, that’s Penelope Cruz and Salma Hayek. There were some other wimmyns there, but none so fetching.
Okay, you may now carry on with what you were doing before.
