10 of My Favourite Celebrity Glamour Photos

Most celebrity photos on the web are either publicity shots from films or candid paparazzi photos (many of questionable quality or decency). However it seems to be more common for some of, IMO, great looking actresses are doing sexier photos that are more glamour or FHM. In a past life I was a photographer and was attracted to portraits or people photography. As such I still subscribe to allot of photography RSS feeds. Here are some of my favourites that I've shared in my Google Reader in recent months.

1. Christina Ricci

Christina started as a child actress in films like Airplane. I'll never forget her answer to the question on how she liked her coffee.

Young Boy: Cream?
Little Girl (played by Ricci): No, thank you, I take it black, like my men.

She's grown into a beautiful woman since those early days

2. Winona Ryder

Winona Ryder made her mark in films like Beetle Juice, Heathers and Great Balls of Fire. She had a very rough period personally for a few years, but is back on track these days and can be seen in the new Star Trek film.

3. Kirsten Dunst

I first saw Kirsten as Claudia in Interview With a Vampire. Now she's best known, at least by me, as Mary Jane Watson in the Spiderman films 1, 2 3 & 4 (2011).

4. Emma Watson

Hermoine Granger from the Harry Potter films. In the first film she was portrayed as bossy and a know-it-all. Now, I think the director is going to have to work if he wants to hide that she is now a beautiful woman and not a 15 year old school girl.

5. Emma Burton

"Baby Spice" in my mind was the most talented and prettiest member of The Spice Girls.

6. Drew Barrymore

Drew Barrymore has always seem comfortable doing glamour work. I think the first shoot she did was for Playboy. When she was on the David Letterman Show a couple of years after the magazine appeared, she said Steven Spielberg had sent her a customised edition of the magazine. He had asked his art department to dress her in all of her photos. Drew got her start in Spielberg's E.T. when she was 7 and obviously couldn't face that she was all grown up :-).

7. Katie Holmes

Whether you think of her from Dawson's Creek or as Mrs. Tom Cruise. She has a sophisticated beauty that is rare today.

8. Natalie Portman

Natalie first came to our attention at 13 as Mathilda in Léon (aka Leon: The Professional), but then shot to fame in Star Wars: The Phantom Menace.

9. Sarah Michelle Geller

Best know as Buffy The Vampire Slayer. She also made a great Daphne in the Scooby-Doo films.

10. Marilyn Monroe

How can you talk about celebrity glamour and not mention Marilyn. What more can you say.

There are many more photos of these beautiful and sexy actresses. I've just tried to give you a taste of what can be found. Keep a watch on my shared items and FriendFeed (both on the right) to see what new photos I've found.

Until next time TTFN,

FBI Elevator Pitch

The other week I stumbled across ProBlogger, a blog on blogging. At the begining of the month (April) Darren started a series of entries 31 Days to Build a Better Blog Challenge. The aim is to give you a new task each day to improve your blog. Write an Elevator Pitch for Your Blog is the first task, so here it is.

Elevator Pitch for FBI

FBI for me is For Brew Information, like FYI but just for me. Whether it's interesting, thought provoking, funny or just a pleasure it may make it on FBI. As an IT Manager, programmer, IT geek, photographer and gamer (just to name a few) my posts are an ecletic mix at the very least. It's not without its focus, but that focus is on the thought of the moment, it may change tomorrow. FBI is meant to be a dialog, whether it's on the blog, via Twitter or FriendFeed FBI is everywhere. Do you surf the internet for the moment? Then maybe you to should join FBI.

What do you think?

Facebook & Life

I know, strange combination.  These days I'm posting alot on Facebook, Flickr, Twitter and sharing alot on my Google Reader (just to name a few).  On Facebook I can add all these feeds (Twitter via Friend Feed) to my wall, so I don't have to post in more than one place.

I'm hoping that the wider exposue will encourage me to keep in touch better. Here's keeping my fingers crossed.

What's with all the pictures??

If you dip into my items I've shared in my Google Reader (it's there on the right....go ahead....you know you want to) you will see a lot of celebrity glamour photos.  Before I became an IT Manager I was a photographer. I preferred people photography and whenever I got the chance, glamour/nude photography. I still enjoy viewing lots of genres of photos and one of the RSS feeds that I read has had a lot of celebrity pictures, so I've been sharing my favourites.

I promise they aren't porn, I wouldn't share them if they were.  Have a look and tell me what you think.  Good photography is all about the eye....

TTFN,

Kevin

Update: 1 May 2009

My latest post, 10 of My Favourite Celebrity Glamour Photos, is a collection of some of my favourite photos I've shared over the past few months. Check it out and leave a comment to tell me what you think.

It's Been Too Long

Once again, it's been far too long since I last posted. I'm posting more on Twitter an Flickr, I can do that from my new Blackberry.  I've also been sharing allot of photos in Google Reader (there has been a run of great glamour and celeb glamour that I thought wa great)., but no pure blog posts.

I endeavor, again, to break that trend.

 Watch for more serious posts and tweets. I will be making an effort to be worth following...:-)

 Talk soon...

A New Year, A New Start

I can't remember how many times I've said this, likely too many, but I aim to raise my profile online.  In the past that was simply stated as "blog more".  Now however, it is more generic (raise profile).  There's Twitter, FriendFeed and more.....and then the blog.  In the end it means the same thing, be followed more. My situation has changed, so I may be able to do it this time  :-).

Comic Book Movies

I've actually gotten to go the cinema a few times over the last few months and been able to see some of the films made based on comic books. I know there are more out now (and some coming out soon), but these are the two that I've seen.  They are also the two that I most wanted to see.  I have a bad (for my wallet that is) comic book habit, mostly superhero titles, so I was eager to see these two films.  I'm not a film reviewer, so I'm going to give you my quick reaction to them.

• The Dark Knight
  I had only heard good things about this movie and it didn't disappoint. It was a long movie (about 2.5 hours I think), but you never realise it, there's no chance to get bored. If you haven't seen it yet, do.
• Iron Man
  I only just got to see this, finding one of the last cinemas that was showing it, and it was well worth the effort. It wasn't obviously CGI, the armor looked as I remember it (I've only just started reading Iron Man (as part of the Avengers)) and they didn't seen to 'adapt' it for the movie. I'm definitely looking forward to the next one.

I've read that Hollywood has really caught the comic book bug. Movies I've heard/read about are Wolverine, Thor, Justice League quickly come to mind. Bring it on.
