Art, music, whatever
Seems like the combination of bedroom-poster-worthy cars and women is becoming a fan favorite over on this back porch of mine, so here we go with another “pairing”. This time, it’s the Sunbeam Tiger / AC Cobra 427 and Ann-Margret.
And another lil’ red thing:
And a little while later:
Lemme tell y’all: it was pure hell trying to decide which A-M pics to feature here. There may have to be a Part 2 at some point…
Last year, I posted the first of this series, in which I lamented the disappearance of beautiful cars and lovely women from teenage boys’ bedroom walls. That post featured a couple Ferraris and Lucy Pinder.
Here’s another such coupling [sic]. First, two cars of the Corvette persuasion:
…and second, one of the pinups who might have appeared on the opposite wall:
As the old saying went: “Farrah Fawcett: creating pup-tents in teenage boys’ beds since the 1970s.”
And as an older woman:
I really, really like the work of one-time civil engineer and now photographer Alec Dawson. If a picture is worth a thousand words, each one of Dawson’s eerie still-life pics is a volume. Here are several of my favorites (right-click to embiggen).
In case you missed the detail:
Some suggest abandonment:
And then there are the more explicit (and even more tragic) ones:
I could write a short story — or possibly a novella — about each and every one of these, simply because of the feelings and emotions contained in that simple picture.
I’m not even going to get into the lighting, other to say that it’s a rare skill to light a night scene without making it look contrived and artificial. And if these pics are nothing else, they’re realistic, almost hyper-realistic.
While all the above are part of Dawson’s Nocturna series, here’s a video sample of Nobody Claps Anymore. The man’s a genius.
And then there was Cindy Morgan.
“Who she, Kim?”
This Cindy Morgan, from Caddyshack :
“Oh yeah.”
And she grew up, as they say, rather well:
Apparently, she was in some movie named Tron :
…but I never saw it because genre. To continue:
Of course, she’s no spring chicken now — she’s my age — but she has matured, in the nicest possible way:
Quite lovely, then and now.
…or thereabouts, when I thought that Uma Thurman was quite possibly the sexiest woman alive. Here she is at her quirkiest, sexy best, talking to Conan O’Brien.
Like many beautiful movie actresses, I don’t think that the still camera does her justice, because her whole appearance is lively, her face animated and let’s not even talk about that body. Even then, though, she’s exquisite:
Even her offbeat pics are sexy:
And was there ever a sexier assassin?
…or gangster’s girlfriend?
Did I say “twenty years ago”? Nah, she’s still tops.
I know Karen Gillan has a pretty face, red hair and freckles:
…but can we just take a minute to appreciate her legs?
Okay, we can carry on now.
