Meet Tasha Ghouri, a Brit chick who’s famous for having been on some TV shows or something.
An interesting note: one of the shows she appeared on was the awful Strictly Come Dancing, which is interesting because she’s stone deaf, and has been since birth.
Loyal Readers may remember Maria Grazia Cucinotta as my companion to take on a leisurely drive along the Mille Miglia course. So it should come as little surprise that this post should feature her as a modern classic beauty:
You may remember her as Tony’s Dream Girl in The Sopranos:
Of course, the fact that at age 55+ she’s still gorgeous doesn’t affect a thing:

Last week we looked at sports channel DAZN’s Eleonora Incardona, and mighty glad I am that we did.

What kind of woman would sing songs with titles like these?

There’s only one, and not for nothing was Eva Tanguay known as “The Queen Of Burlesque” — or, as she modestly titled herself, “The Girl Who Made Burlesque Famous”. (Follow the link first, for some shocked laughter.)
(that’s the infamous “penny” dress)
Well, I would have bought a ticket to see her on stage. I think she’s magnificent.
