I was away from the net a few days last week, but my girlfriend and I both spotted in several dead-tree media publications that Miranda Kerr and Orlando Bloom had tied the knot (as opposed to the one being un-tied below)
So, it's time for us to post Congratulations and Good Luck to them; and a really great excuse to post a photo (or several) of Ms. Kerr
Out of all I have on-file, I wasn't really sure which one to post. I narrowed it down to about 25 and went over them with my girlfriend. Together, we still couldn't decide on just one, so take *your* pick
Out of these, which do you like best? Comment away!
If Victoria's Secret's $2Million Bombshell Bra is a bit too rich for your blood, take a look at Candice Swanepoel's suggested alternative: their Limited-Edition Miraculous Push-Up Bra with only Swarovski 'Elements' encrusted on the bra, matching V-string or bikini panties, garter belt and matching stockings. At only $250 for the bra, $50 for the panties, $90 for the garter belt and $70 for the thigh-high stockings, that would leave you and Ms. Swanepoel $1,999,560 to play with for Christmas shopping (not counting tax). Knock yourself out. The 2010 VS Fashion Show will be filmed next Wednesday November 10th, but won't be seen on CBS until Tuesday November 30th with musical guests Katy Perry and Akon. We can only hope Ms. Perry goes along with her inner-lingerie model while choosing her wardrobe, much the way Fergie did last year.
By the way, if you wouldn't mind a free trip to the 2011 VS Show, through December 31st you can enter to win one. Fair warning: although I've made it policy not to enter any contests fellow-lingerie bloggers have or promote, this one will not count, so if my girlfriend and I can figure out how to stuff the ballot box, umm.. enter early and often, we intend to win this one or loose our fingers typing entries trying.
Or, should that read, 'Take Glee, in Lingerie'? U.S. GQ's November 2010 issue devotes a page or two, and more than a Terry Richardson photograph or two to what they call Glee Gone Wild, as in actress Lea Michele above and below

In retropsect, It seems the cast's earlier Rolling Stone cover was just a tease of things to come (or, at least Ms. Michele's rigged panty flash was).
Hey, speaking of rip-offs, wonder where GQ got their headline?

So, that's pretty much the post I wrote earlier this week for today. Since then, it seems some have taken notice of the GQ article, or more likely, Mr. Richardson's photographs of the cast (and poor Mr. Monteith may as well have been a hat rack as we - jokingly - treated him above for all the notice anyone is taking of his presence next to Ms. Agron and Michele). First, The Parent's Television Council had a hissy, but so did some parents of younger Glee fans.
Before all this, I hadn't really expected anyone to say all that much beside, 'Hot!' ..and maybe way too much makeup.
Dianna Agron and Lea Michele are both 24 years old, and Cory Monteith is 28 (hell, he's a bit older than me and he's playing a high school student? Meh, welcome to TV. Remind you of anyone else older who did the same not long ago?). And, have any of the critics, including the parents of those very young fans actually watched the show with those children? I wouldn't say those are all Disney-G-rated stories, nor did they ever pretend they were. TV Guide reported Dianna Agron's take on it from her blog:
'I understand that in today's world of advanced technology, the internet, our kids can be subject to very adult material at the click of a button,' she wrote. 'But there are parental locks, and ways to get around this.'
'If you are hurt or these photos make you uncomfortable, it was never our intention. And if your eight-year-old has a copy of our GQ cover in hand, again I am sorry. But I would have to ask, how on earth did it get there?'
What's your take? Comment away below..
Hard to believe it's that time of year again already. There's a chill in the (North American) air, the leaves are starting to turn, stores are trying to figure out where to put all of their Christmas candy and garbage because the Halloween and Thanksgiving stuff is still clogging their aisles, and Victoria's Secret is gearing up for their 2010 Fashion Show, Tuesday, November 30th on CBS.
The opening salvo? The above photo of Angel Adriana Lima as the wearer of this year's VS Fantasy Bra (officially 'Bombshell Fantasy Bra'). She gets the honor this year of wearing $2 million in diamonds. You'd think they'd make a matching set of Bombshell Fantasy panties, but maybe they're trying to keep coasts down. Or, they realize she'd never be able to comfortably sit down if they did.
With Heidi Klum leaving her wings behind, and both Miranda Kerr and Doutzen Kroes pregnant and missing from this show, they'll have to be a bit more creative this year, but it does give models like future Transformers 3 star Rosie Huntington-Whiteley,Chanel Iman, Erin Heatherton a chance to shine a bit more along side the already stellar likes of Alessandra Ambrósio, Candice Swanepoel and Ms.Lima.
Edit for added info: This year's musical guests - Katy Perry and Akon!
