Weekend Pinup

Her name is Lana Landis and this retro-look model is absolutely fabulous. She describes herself as “succulently supple, devilishly delectable, and vivaciously vampy.” Ain’t that the truth? Whatever you call it, it gets my motor running. In addition to the Retro site linked above, Lana has her own web site that is oh so cool ....

Hmmmmmmmmm?????

Now, THIS can turn out to be very interesting.

There was talk about Cheney stepping down in order to allow the President to appoint someone who could then run in 2008.

Will it happen?  Will Condi get the nod to be VP?  She could then get thrown a couple of tough issues to work out, showing her ability to handle domestic and foreign affairs of a Presidential nature.

Talk about a rising star if she did! 

Stanford U provost
NSA
SecState
VP
Prez

All in 9 years! And she’s 2 years younger than me.  Somehow it seemed relevant to mention that.  But surely I am not the only one who looks around and says, “Hmmm, what if I had...............?”

What You’ve Been Missing ….

If you’ve been reading Playboy all these years just for the articles (nudge-nudge-wink-wink), now you can see what you’ve been missing. In honor of Playboy’s 50th Anniversary, they’ve released ”Fifty Years Of Photographs” (260 pp., $50), a deluxe edition that also contains the fifty best photos from Playboy as voted by the editors. Of course, Marilyn on red satin is Number #1. Sigh.

Weekend Pinups

This weekend’s featured pinup artist is Frank Frazetta (web site). Now, if you have ever read a science fiction paperbook or bought a Molly Hatchett album then you’ve undoubtedly seen his magnificent artwork. Frazetta’s oil prints and lithographs sell for thousands of dollars. I have two books of Frazetta’s art and they are a cherished part of my library. Here’s a brief history of this fantastic artist ....

Frazetta was born (1928) and raised in Brooklyn, New York. At the age of eight, at the insistence of his school teachers, Frazetta’s parents enrolled him in the Brooklyn Acadamy of Fine Arts. He attended the academy for eight years under the tutelage of Michele Falanga, an award winning Italian fine artist. Falanga was struck by Frazetta’s significant talent. Frazetta’s abilities flourished under Falanga, who dreamed of sending Frazetta to Europe, at his own expense, to further his studies. Unfortunately, Falanga died suddenly in 1944 and with him, his dream. As the school closed about a year after Falanga’s passing, Frazetta was forced to find work to earn a living.

Now sixteen, Frazetta started writing comic books that varied in themes: westerns, fantasy, mysteries, histories and other contemporary themes. During this period he turned down job offers from comic giants such as Walt Disney.

Through the work on the Buck Rogers covers for Famous Funnies, Frazetta started working with Al Capp and his Li’l Abner strip. Frazetta’s work for Capp focussed mostly on the Johnny Comet daily strip, but also filled in for Capp from time to time. After nine years with Capp, Frazetta returned to regular comics. Having emulated Capp’s style for so long, Frazetta’s own work during this period looked a bit awkward as his own style struggled to re-emerge.

Work in comics for Frazetta was hard to find, however. Comics had changed during his period with Capp and his style was deemed antiquated. Eventually he joined Playboy magazine doing the parody strip Li’l Annie Fannie.

By 1964, Frazetta started producing paintings for paperback editions of adventure books. His first cover for the pulp fiction novel Conan the Barbarian caused a sensation - numerous people bought the book for its cover alone. From this point on, Frazetta’s work was in great demand. During this period he also did covers for other paperback editions of classic Edgar Rice Burroughs books, such as those from the Tarzan and Barsoom (John Carter of Mars) series. He also did several pen and ink illustrations for many of these books.

Since this time, most of Frazetta’s work has been commercial in nature, providing paintings and illustrations from things such as movie posters to book jackets to calendars. Many of his paintings are un-commissioned but have nonetheless become highly sought after commercially.

Frazetta’s work has long been admired by many Hollywood personalities. Clint Eastwood and George Lucas - fans and friends of Frazetta’s - have commissioned works from him for some of their movie projects.

Here are three magnificent works by Frazetta, entitled (in order): “A Princess Of Mars”, “Egyptian Queen” and “Moon’s Rapture”. The first one was the cover art for the first novel by Edgar Rice Burroughs about Mars and the WWI soldier, John Carter, who was transported there to fight for the Kingdom Of Barsoom. Now that was real literature for a young boy in the mid 1950’s. I remember it well. Sigh ....

GoDaddy Gal!

I’m sure you’ve all heard plenty about the GoDaddy.com commercial during the Super Bowl that poked fun at the Janet Jackson “wardrobe malfunction”, haven’t you? Well, if you haven’t, it involved a slinky, sexy young lady in front of a Senate panel investigating nudity in television and the young lady’s clothes kept “malfunctioning” and almost falling off as she testified. It was quite funny, actually. Unfortunately, it only aired once and Fox received several complaints during the game so they pulled all further runs of the ad during the game and it was never seen again. For the record, the young lady in the ad is named Candice Michelle (see below) and Gorilla Mask has some even better pictures of this babe. Nekkid!

Not that very many people ever read this far down, but this blog was the creation of Allan Kelly and his friend Vilmar. Vilmar moved on to his own blog some time ago, and Allan ran this place alone until his sudden and unexpected death partway through 2006. We all miss him. A lot. Even though he is gone this site will always still be more than a little bit his. We who are left to carry on the BMEWS tradition owe him a great debt of gratitude, and we hope to be able to pay that back by following his last advice to us all:

1. Keep a firm grasp of Right and Wrong
2. Stay involved with government on every level and don't let those bastards get away with a thing
3. Use every legal means to defend yourself in the event of real internal trouble, and, most importantly:
4. Keep talking to each other, whether here or elsewhere

It's been a long strange trip without you Skipper, but thanks for pointing us in the right direction and giving us a swift kick in the behind to get us going. Keep lookin' down on us, will ya? Thanks.
