The Other Side Of The Straits

We leave our savaging of Strylians, and shift focus to their cousins in Kiwiland.

Man 1:  Did you hear who won the Miss New Zealand competition?
Man 2:  No, who won?
Man 1:  Nobody!

I can think of only one Kiwi chick who ever caused a stirring in my stretch jeans, and that was Gina Bellman, from the TNT show Leverage:

Exotic, sexy, mysterious.  Like.

Oh, and:

Classic Beauty: Betty Grable

I have to admit that I’ve never been a great fan of Betty Grable‘s face — that smile is too cheesy, her cheekbones too plump and prominent.

I actually prefer her face in repose:

But let’s be perfectly honest, here:  back in the 1940s, it was not her face that was insured for a million dollars (about $21 million in today’s Biden-dollars).

 

 

Worth every penny.

Battle !!!!!

This one caught my attention, oh you betcha:

I’m thinking naked, in the mud pit:

Claudia Winkleman

Fiona Bruce

Gabby Logan

Jo Whiley

Karin Giannone

Kate Silverton  — recently voted “Most Kissable Mouth in Great Britain”*

Katie Derham

Natasha Kaplinsky

Stacey Dooley

Susanna Reid
 

…oh wait;  apparently, the girls will have to fight for their jobs with screen tests.  Well, that’s a mood-killer.

Never mind.


*recently voted “Most Kissable Mouth in Great Britain” — by me.  Because it is.

Fattie

I need to start watching more Winter Olympic sports.  Here’s what prompted this statement:

The ‘world’s hottest speed skater’ Jutta Leerdam has revealed she used her ‘extra fat’ and strength to become a world champion in December. Leerdam was in action at the ISU Speed Skating World Cup in Calgary two weeks ago and impressed.

Leerdam said: “I have become stronger and heavier. I now use that extra fat as strength.”

So let’s take a look at this fat chick:

 

Gotta tell y’all, there’s not a whole lot to complain about here.  Yes, she has nutcracker thighs and a muscular ass, but she’s a speed skater, FFS:  that comes with the territory.

I personally think she’s still shy of a few pasta dinners, but that’s just my preference showing through.  YMMV.

Country Style

Lainey Wilson calls her musical style “bell-bottom country“, and I’m not going to disagree with her.  What I like is how she describes country music — “we lived the lyrics” back when she was growing up in Nowhere LA, and I think that’s always been country’s appeal, on its most elemental level.  And she’s got the voice to carry it, oh yes she does.

I also like that she’s not one of the pretty young things that Nashville seems to push out like Simon Cowell pushes out Brit boy bands.  Nope, our Lainey’s one of them big ol’ country gals, with a big voice and a big songwriting talent — and I love it.

I will say that the girl needs to stick to those tight bell-bottom jeans, though:

Not her best look.  She’s country, not r&b or rap.
