Goodness From Haifa

Peiper - this is an extension of that email reply I sent you. Sometimes you need to look things up in IMBD or places like that, and you can do a screenshot to capture an image if you have to, and then paste that to a graphics tool, trim as needed, and export. It’s just another step in the process.

Poor little thing. So plain. So unnoticeable. You don’t think her hair is thick and glossy or anything, do you? LOL

I’d say “h/t to Theo” but I don’t think he even knew what he had.

ART AND EYE CANDY

I didn’t dislike her on the one hand, but was never a fan on the other. In fact, I never did understand all the fuss made about her supposed beauty.

I’m referring to the late Elizabeth Taylor. 

Soon after her death, the Mail started running a serialized bio, excerpts from a new book.  Truth to tell, I found it very interesting. I didn’t think I would at first, but you know how those things work.  They catch ya with a headline and you start reading and pretty soon you’re into the story.

The papers here run stories that cover both open pages and huge photos and the intent of course is impact.  The type is pretty small though, so I often can’t go through all of something at one sitting and so I go back later. Usually though I forget it.

Well, this week the papers here published a photo of her never seen (they all said) before.  There was no way to avoid it and talk about impact.

I’m guessing, probably correctly, that many of you have already seen the only nude (so it’s claimed) taken of her. For those who haven’t, it’s pretty darn good.
And she was I suppose better looking then I gave credit for but hold on.

Still no Angela Landsbury or Ann Margaret at the same age, imho.

eye candy

Am working on something and trying to find a way to convert something I found that’s pdf so I can post it. I really hate stuff that comes in that format cos I can never seem to open it in Word, where it’s easier for me.
Anyway ... until I get myself sorted out with some research and text ...  you poor folks will just have to suffer with this. And I do feel your pain.

a past eye candy and what a memory.

Suddenly having a spot of trouble posting, and I must get this in before Drew beats me to it.

I was that cheeky tennis girl says 52-year-old mother of three

By Nick Mcdermott

Aged 52 and married to a wealthy businessman, she has no regrets about her moment in the spotlight – even though she has never earned a penny from it.

She is not even a tennis fan, confessing to never liking the game.

Mrs Walker was an 18-year-old art student called Fiona Butler when she agreed to pose for her then boyfriend, an ambitious young photographer called Martin Elliott.

With a borrowed sports dress and racket and wearing her father’s white plimsolls (and of course very little else) she and Elliott created one of the most iconic images of the 1970s.

The shot was taken at the now defunct Birmingham University courts at Edgbaston on a hazy September afternoon in 1976. Chewed tennis balls belonging to her dog were scattered across the court.

Elliott went on to sell the image rights to Athena but retained the copyright, earning him an estimated £250,000 in royalty payments. Two million copies were sold worldwide.

Now a mother of three, who works as an illustrator, Mrs Walker is philosophical about not being paid for her part, saying she remains ‘incredibly proud’ of her pose.

‘I am the worst person ever when it comes to money. To be honest, it didn’t bother me at the time, and once it became successful the time had passed,’ she said.

‘My mother has a very faded copy in what used to be my father’s study. I just have it in the form of a very small postcard.

‘I think it’s the light that makes it so appealing. It never ceases to make me smile when I see it. My children have told their friends that I was the girl in the poster, but most people don’t believe it.

‘I’ve never gone out of my way to court attention, and have declined being photographed publicly since then, because I am quite a private person.’

So what made her decide it was time to reveal herself now? Mrs Walker is helping to promote an exhibition on lawn tennis as a subject in art, which will be held at Birmingham’s Barber Institute of Fine Arts this summer. She believes her picture has earned ‘a place in the history of tennis’.

Elliott, who died last year at 63, would have been thrilled at the legacy. She said: ‘I think Martin would be very proud of the fact that his picture is in the exhibition.’

TENNIS ANYONE?

Tusk, Tusk

A Mammoth Discovery In Texas



image



Texas Boys Discover ‘Fossil Gold Mine’

SHERMAN, Texas – For Andrew Carroll and Thomas Smith, two North Texas sixth-graders, the adventure began when they found a bone while exploring a creek southeast of Sherman.

“We all got excited because I knew it was too big to be a cow bone, so we knew it was a dinosaur bone,” Andrew said of himself and his Pottsboro Middle School classmate.

What it was, once the Dallas Paleontological Society investigated: the bone was a pelvis of a Columbian mammoth, one of the two largest species of mammoth.

“This area is a fossil gold mine,” society member Ed Swiatovy of Sherman told the Herald Democrat of Sherman and Denison for a story in Sunday editions. “At one time, it was under an inland sea. When it came to the end of the dinosaurs, when mammals took over, this area was grass plains and woodlands—everything that mammals like. This area has always been conducive to marine or mammal life forms.”

Society volunteers have excavated the area found by the boys, dinging a shoulder bone, fragments of two leg bones, a lower jaw with teeth and the back of a skull, Swiatovy said. All of the bones have been sent to the Museum of Nature & Science in Dallas for study and carbon dating.

A team of archaeologists from Southern Methodist University in Dallas surveyed the site for any signs of prehistoric human life but found none, he said.

I thought for a few minutes that I’d have some kind of illegal alien angle to play with on this story, since it’s a Columbian mammoth. But I have no idea where the name Columbia came from. Wiki says the critter lived only as far south as Central America, and that the ones around Nashville were a bit behind the times with the extinction notification, and managed to stay alive up to only 7800 years ago.

The Columbian mammoth was one of the largest of the mammoth species and also one of the largest elephants to have ever lived, measuring 4 metres (13 ft) tall and weighing up to 10 metric tons (11 short tons). It was 10.7 feet (3.3 m) long at the shoulder, and had a head that accounted for 12 to 25 percent of its body weight.[2] It had impressive, spiralled tusks which typically extended to 6.5 feet (2.0 m). A pair of Columbian Mammoth tusks discovered in central Texas was the largest ever found for any member of the elephant family: 16 feet (4.9 m) long.

image


Hmmph. Ok, this mammoth lived in Mexico, it’s smaller than the other mammoth, and the reconstruction depicts it as being relatively hairless. So can I work the Chihuahua angle then? “Yes, drop the chalupa!”

He also seems to have had a bit of an identity crisis, or else he was using false ID (ha! I can so work the illegal alien angle!) because Mammuthus Columbi was also known as Mammuthus Jeffersoni, i.e., the Jefferson mammoth.

And now for something not at all completely different. This is Isla Fisher. I know she’s been here before, but she’s just so darn cute I couldn’t resist.

non skinny eye candy

I can hardly believe it.  I posted pix of a fairly sexy redhead and Drew and Christopher said she was, “too skinny.” With those legs?  But yeah, I looked again and sure enough, she was on the thin side.  But I didn’t think skinny applied.  Soooooo .... I am gonna make up for that.

Here we go.

And ain’t she sweet?

image

However, the one piece is fine but who told her to wear the bikini? Well, at least the girl isn’t skinny. lol

imageimage

Don’t know who she is but I think I like her.

image

And I could not resist this.  Could you?

Or this .......

I’ve had emails decrying my emphasis on pretty redheads. Give the brunettes equal time! Do a post on Katherine Heigl!

Well, maybe. Not sure about KH; I think she just has superb stylists on her payroll. I’ll see what I can do about the brunettes. You’ve got to understand my obsession is hard to overcome ...

sunday eye candy

OK Look ...

First of all so nobody gets the wrong idea.

I sometimes look at Sports Illustrated but ONLY for the fashions and the interviews and info on baseball. Uh, has the season started yet? They don’t say.

Second ... Drew seemed disappointed in a previous comment that he hadn’t seen any redheads. Which is odd since I got the name of this lady from the man himself. lol.

I have to go out shortly ... we’re looking at a newer car, a bit bigger and we might not even keep it. I’ll save the story for another time once we have it. Apparently it’s a 2003 model and the owner is giving it to my wife.  So will be gone for awhile and leave you with ..........

EYE CANDY for Sunday

CINTIA

Just so everyone knows what a terrible influence Drew is, and of course I’d never look for this being all kinds of innocent. (I’m gonna make myself ill here if I keep that up)
Anyway, H/T Drew for this lovely too.  Whoever she is.

eye candy

Played hooky a couple days. Couldn’t face the computer. I think many of you know the feeling.  I have two large Sunday papers and magazines to go thru today, so not sure but this will be only post from me today.

Drew was right. Damn hard to find French redheads. Or at least naturally so. But no matter.

I happen to see a name in the news, something about a French actress. I’m not even sure of what it was but was taken with her photo.

Here’s why.  Take a look.

MARION COTILLARD

image

Who btw, reminded me of this awesome , heavenly beauty.  There didn’t seem to be anything she couldn’t do including a solo performance at Carnegie Hall in the late 90’s.  I have always been madly in love with the divine ......

BERNADETTE PETERS is there there quite a resemblance to the French actress above? Or maybe just the make up and dreamy look.

A & R Thursday, the French Edition

When Louis Mantin said

Don’t Touch My Junk

the French listened. And left his mansion locked up and empty for 100 years



france_flag_2   A Time Capsule In Moulins  france_flag_2


image


image

Moulins, France: a small town near Remulac When wealthy French bachelor Louis Mantin demanded that nobody touch his lavish mansion for 100 years after his death, even the occupying German army paid heed.

The eccentric recluse, who died in 1905, wrote in his will that he wanted Maison Mantin, in Moulins, Central France, to be turned into a museum dedicated to himself and his gentlemanly lifestyle.
His vision was for visitors to experience his world a century on, uncorrupted by the passing of time. In doing so he ensured he was not forgotten.

Mantin made his fortune in land and property but died unmarried and childless aged just 54 - eight years after construction of the opulent home was completed. It had been built on the ruins of a 15th-century castle that had belonged to the Bourbon family who were later to become French royalty. But what he had constructed incorporated the lastest technology including electricty, a flushing toilet and a cupboard which warmed towels in preparation for when you stepped out of the shower. [ and a bathtub. Remember, this is France we’re talking about!!! ]

As a gentleman with money he was able to indulge in his interests such as art, natural history and archaeology. A mini museum within the building housed Monsieur Mantin’s collection. On his death its doors remained closed and rats and insects were given free reign within its dusty corridors and vast rooms.

But now thanks to a £2.9million refurbishment funded by local authorities, the mansion has been returned to its former glory.

The result is a remarkable time-capsule, combining rich fin-de-siecle furnishings, archaeological curios, skulls and other Masonic paraphernalia, a collection of stuffed birds, as well as the latest domestic gadgets such as electricity and a flushing loo.

Born in Moulins in 1851, Mantin had an undistinguished career as a civil servant, but at the age of 42, he inherited a fortune from his father and thenceforth dedicated his life to pleasure, science and the arts.

First of all he had his mansion constructed in the centre of Moulins on the site of a former palace of the dukes of Bourbon, the local rulers who were heirs to the French and Spanish royal houses.
Then he decorated the house with imported tapestries, paintings and porcelain. He commissioned sculptures and wood-carvings, and on the top floor installed his personal museum of Egyptian relics, Neolithic oil-lamps, prehistoric flints and medieval locks and keys.

Outside of Maison Mantin The house was gradually forgotten by the world, but not by locals

Mantin only had a few years to indulge his aesthetic fantasies. Knowing that his death was approaching, he made a will in which he made sure his treasured house would be saved. “In the will, he says that he wants the people of Moulins in 100 years time to be able to see what was the life of a cultured gentleman of his day,” said assistant curator Maud Leyoudec. “A bachelor with no children, he was obsessed with death and the passage of time. It was his way of becoming eternal.”

Lots and lots of amazing photos and more information at these links:

Nat Geo has even more!
and a bit about Msr. Mantin himself

image
Yes, it really does have a bathtub. With a shower! And a flush toilet! And heated towels! And stuffed frogs, fencing under glass! And a special room done up in pink for his secret mistress!



And of course, to go along with French architecture, for an A&R post we need pretty French redheads. And they are damn hard to find!!

How hard? So hard in fact that the above very fwench looking model is actually Russian. Irina Tkachova. Looks French. Works in France. Even has “the touch of the bunny” whatever the hell that means:

Oscars Condensed for Guys

So the Oscars were on last night, all 183 hours of them. This is like the Superbowl for women, fashionistas, Hollywood gossipers, and film lovers. Umpty-seven prizes were awarded, and major nominees were given goody bags with contents worth more than your house. Nice work if you can get it. Since Charlie Sheen is currently in the Bahamas with all the seriously total sluts in Tinseltown, this year’s look was elegantly flowing gowns with only small amounts of lace and other doodads.


87% of the male population forced to watch this was on a mental dial tone after less than 10 minutes. So while you nod your head at your co-workers sagacity around the water cooler today, learning obliquely who won Best This and Best That, I’ve put together the parts that actually matter to guys.


Mila Kunis in that magical pale blue dress (the only lavender men recognize is the smell of their mom’s soap). Lacey, elegant, feminine. Hypnotic. The red carpet camera guy kept cutting back to her again and again, until your wife or GF had something to say. Secretly you could have watched that shiz all night long, no problem, just to figure out if it actually was see-through all over.

The surf goddess in the red dress was Jennifer Lawrence. She was nominated for Best Actress in a film you never heard of called Writer’s Bone. hur hur hur. I think this is Scarlett Johansson’s old dress, taken in quite a bit, but I don’t care. Where’s my defib?

And baby makes two! Natalie Portman looks 100 times better with some weight on. Sweet. So glad she’s a girl now instead of a stick insect.

In a night full of various heavily shellacked tightly up-swept girlie hairdos that only other women love, along with a serious number of WTF bed-head disasters, Amy Adams was one of the few who went with the “freshly shampooed and a little bit of a wave” look. And looked magnificent doing so. Giant emerald necklace? Who cares. Give us a twirl please Amy. Thank you.

Pics? Of course!

A & R Friday, Part 2

Looks like Peiper had the same idea. Not that there isn’t always room for more.

This is the replacement post. I wasn’t even going to do it. I was going to write about how the Cairo Museum is open again, and how, against all odds, TV personality, martinet, staunch Mubarak supporter, and Egyptian Minister of Antiquities Zahi Hawass still has his job. I had neat pictures of tanks in front of the museum, which is right there on the edge of Tahrir Square in Cairo. Pictures of Hawass inside with Egyptian Special Forces guards, rumors of how the museum was used as a police detention and torture center during the protests, links to the ruckus surrounding the looting that went on there and at other archaeological sites around the country, stories about how the people worked with the army and the police to guard as many of these places as they could, quotes from Hawass’ pro-Mubarak speeches. The little glory hound must have unimaginable pull in that country. It’s amazing. Not only did he survive the falling government, but he managed to scrounge up the money to hire 900 new Egyptian archaeology graduates for half a year, followed by 500 more. But the post wouldn’t gel, so finally I just threw it out. I had this one in reserve. Mostly.


A Mile Down Underground River, Ancient Human Skull Found

Skull is older than the end of the last Ice Age;

Rising sea levels flooded Yucatan caves 12,000+ years ago



Swim for miles in the dark, in a labyrinthine cave underground, and then dive further down a giant shaft to nearly 200 feet below sea level? No thanks. But that’s what it takes to find ancient evidence that people went to Cancun ages before there was anything called Spring Break.


image

Deep underground, cave diver puts marker next to ancient human skull. National Geographic photo.



“This is the Holy Grail of underwater cave exploration.”

Explorers have discovered what might be the oldest evidence of humans in the Americas. Alex Alvarez, Franco Attolini, and Alberto (Beto) Nava are members of PET (Projecto Espeleológico de Tulum), an organization that specializes in the exploration and survey of underwater caves on the Yucatan Peninsula in Mexico.

Alex, Franco and Beto have surveyed tens of thousands of feet of mazelike cave passages in the state of Quintana Roo. The team’s relatively recent explorations of a large pit named Hoyo Negro (Black Hole, in Spanish), deep within a flooded cave, resulted in their breathtaking and once-in-a-lifetime discovery of the remains of an Ice Age mastodon and a human skull at the very bottom of the black abyss.

Hoyo Negro was reached by the PET team after the divers travelled more than 4,000 feet [1,200 meters] through underwater passages using underwater propulsion vehicles, or scooters, which enabled them to cover long distances in the flooded cave system.

Once they reached the pit, they began to survey and document its dimensions. The pit is approximately 200 feet [60 meters] deep and 120 feet [36 meters] in diameter and is located inside the Aktun-Hu cave system in the state of Quintana Roo, Mexico.
...
“The immense size of Hoyo Negro is difficult to comprehend. Once you enter the pit you cannot see the floor below, and all that can be seen in front of you is a black void—an inviting entrance to the abyss, “ recalls Franco.

The team of explorers touched bottom at 197 feet [57 meters], where they made their incredible discovery.

Approximately 12,000 years ago, at the end of the Pleistocene epoch, Earth experienced great climatic changes. The melting of the ice caps caused a dramatic rise in global sea levels, which flooded low lying coastal landscapes and cave systems. Many of the subterranean spaces that once provided people and animals with water and shelter became inundated and lost until the advent of cave diving.

image

“The findings of Hoyo Negro are a once-in-a-lifetime discovery. The skull looks pre-Maya, which could make it one of the oldest set of human remains in the area. Gaining an understanding of how this human and these animals entered the site will reveal an immense amount of knowledge from that time.
...
The human found with the megafauna remains in Hoyo Negro could represent the oldest evidence of humans yet discovered in the Americas.

Archaeological and genetic data have long supported a northeast Asia origin for the populations that first settled North and South America. The so-called “First Americans” or Paleoindian peoples likely entered into these new lands sometime between 15,000 and 20,000 years ago.
...
“During the Late Pleistocene, these caves were dry. The first people to occupy what is now the Caribbean coast of Mexico wandered into these caves, where some ultimately met their demise.

“As the last glacial maximum came to end, the melting of the polar ice caps and continental ice sheets raised sea levels worldwide. The caves of the Yucatan Peninsula filled with water and the First Americans were hidden for millennia—only to be discovered by underwater cave explorers

“It is within these dark reaches that cave explorers are discovering and documenting the oldest human skeletons yet found in the Western Hemisphere,” Rissolo said.

Plenty more info and pics at the Nat Geo source.

And if those eyes looked interesting, the “R” part of this “A & R” post is below the fold:

Oh, and here's some kind of visitor flag counter thingy. Hey, all the cool blogs have one, so I should too. The Visitors Online thingy up at the top doesn't count anything, but it looks neat. It had better, since I paid actual money for it.
