Succulent Selfies

FH viewers know how much I love me shots with a peak at the pubes. I'm trying my best to increase the popularity of crotch cleavage shots, something that's pretty easy when the cleavage, and the crotch belong to Chase Stobbe.

A Vintage Vantage: Richard Burton


'Noel (Coward) told me, holding my wrist firmly in his beautiful brown hands which at 67 have a couple of faint liver marks, that Elizabeth and I were so packed with dynamic personality that he expected us any minute to burst at the seams and flow like volcanic lava.'
Richard Burton

Burton by Harry Warnecke

Back in the sixties, Welsh actor Richard Burton was one of Hollywood's successful and highest paid movie stars.  A highly respected Shakespearean actor in the fifties, Burton easily made the transition to film.  Although highly regarded for his talents, with his extensive theatre background, Hollywood critics were hard on Burton, many claiming he wasn't performing to his full potential. 

Staircase (1968)

A turbulent personal life, along with his reptation for heavy drinking, may have played a part in the criticism.  Still, Burton was one of the industries biggest stars in the sixties, and although he never won, was nominated for seven Academy Awards.

That turbulent private life included his relationship with Elizabeth Taylor.  Married and divorced twice, Burton and Taylor were the darlings, and the targets, of the tabloid press.  Their relationship was closely followed by the press, and covered more than Brad and Jen and any current actor or celebrity.


Like Brad and Jen, and Bran and Angelina, Burton and Taylor were constantly followed by the paparazzi.  I can only imagine the images we'd have seen if the Internet had been around at the time.


The Night of the Iguana (1964)

'An ostracized Episcopal clergyman leads a busload of middle-aged Baptist women on a tour of the Mexican coast and comes to terms with the failure haunting his life.'

Love Island: Speedos & Skivvies


 'F*ck yourself with a cheese grater '
Ariana Madix

Connor & Miguel

Ok, let's start with the elephant in the room, the host.  Although my interest has waned the last few seasons, I did binge most of the early seasons of Vanderpump Rules a few years ago.  Having done so, it's sometimes hard for me to connect the Ariana Madix from Love Island, with the Ariana from those early years...

Connor, Kendall, Rob

Yes of course, people grow, people change, especially when they've gone through pain.  Clearly being lied to and cheated on in front of millions of viewers had an impact.  I celebrate that Ariana came out on top, both with popularity, and with job opportunities.  Girl should make her bank while the oven is hot, almost all of us would.   Yet... there is a part of me, that thinks the Ariana from a decade ago, would be mocking the Ariana on Love Island.

Ariana could never be pigeon holed, she was eclectic, unique, openly bisexual, and open about her struggle with depression.  She could be a hip, enjoyed hanging with the girls, and seemed to dislike the girls and the attitude that life was all about having a man.  She was fiercely independent, and we all know that if somehow Stassi had got this hosting job, Ariana would have had a field day mocking her.


But, as I said, we grow, we change, and I hope Ariana is having a blast with her current fame.  I'm sort of thinking her days on Vanderpump Rules will soon be behind her.  She's outgrown a show about young, (now middle aged) people trying to build a career, make a living and find love.  Most of the cast has outgrown the show really, well, the ones who have grown,.  Others however, like Jax and the Toms seem like permanent Peter Pans, fighting any pressure to ever grow up.


Anyhoo, back to the hotties.   Thanks to Davidid's speedo thread, I searched for as many shirtless Connor shots as I could find.  Now before anyone comments, my lust for Connor is just skin deep.  The longer he was on the show, the more his 'obsessive' tendencies seemed to seep out.  It's not that I think it's really a problem, he wasn't on the show long enough to tell, but there were signs from intense glares, that he is more used to doing the dumping, than being the one being dumped. 


Big bootie in tight white undies alert.

I'm sure Connor's a nice guy off the Island, just maybe a little 'priviagled' when it comes to the opposite sex.  I'm guessing he's used to having a lot of women after him.  He copped to sleeping with over 50 different women, which given his age isn't that outrageous.  Also given his age however, it indicates he most likely couldn't have had many, or any, long term relationships.  He does seem to enjoy the tasty view of Hakeem both in front, (above) and from behind. (below)


I do love that Love Island USA is an equal opportunity exploiter.  I think it's great that they call both men and women who arrive ono the island as the 'new bombshells'  The casting, has generally done a decent job at living up to the title of the men and women they bring on.
