Tiffany Taylor - a very Hot Bombshell

2011-02-16T10:13:00.000+05:30

Tiffany Taylor (born July 17, 1977) is an American model.

Taylor was born in Leesburg, Virginia. She attended the University of Maryland. She majored in psychology until her junior year, at which point she switched to criminal justice. She graduated with a degree in that field.

My childhood was happy and filled with love, family, and lots of pets.

Even at a young age I was fascinated by the women on swimsuit posters. I thought those women were the most beautiful women ever and I longed to look like them.

This began my desire to be a model. My thoughts changed from year to year, but I always knew I wanted to go to college and have a career. I was very shy as a child (a trait I still have today) and could barely order food for myself when I went out to dinner.

Luckily my step mother helped me to break out of my shell a little bit and become more assertive. My childhood was happy and filled with love, family, and lots of pets.

Until 12 years old I lived in Virginia and attended a wonderful private school. In the eight grade the family moved to Maryland, where I attended a co-ed catholic school. This was quite a change for me. A catholic education continued through high school. ( I still have my catholic school uniform, which you may get to see me in .....)

At 14, I wanted to get a job. Work opportunities were few and far between, leading me to do telemarketing for a home improvement company. Yes, I was one of those annoying people that called you at dinnertime or early on Saturday morning. Hey! This kid needed a job.

At 15 years of age things took a turn upwards. I started working as a waitress at a local pizza and sub restaurant called Sammy's. I worked at Sammy's until I was a freshman in college. Nope I didn't eat the profits.

At nearly 18 years old, I met the person who would change my life forever, Jim. He owned several Miss USA state beauty pageants and helped me get started in the world of pageants and modeling. Without him I would not be where I am today and I am so thankful to have him as a friend. After seeing my family, Jim is the next person I visit when I go home.

Holy cats, how come we haven’t featured this peach on our site yet? That’s odd… because I remember gushing over a bunch of photos with her some time ago.

But… anyways, let’s all say hello to uber cutie Kate Upton, a girl who has just the right curves in all the right places to turn us all into drooling zombies.

Here’s Kate Upton showing off her bodacious curves for Beach Bunny Swimwear, looking absolutely gorgeous in the process and totally blowing our minds.

I don’t even know what to say about this hottie because she’s absolutely stunning. I just know I wanna see more of her as soon as possible.

Enjoy the photos and, if you’re really into her, you can just shout her name and you’ll also find a bunch of jaw dropping lingerie photos and so on.

But… these swimwear shots are even better and I’m pretty sure you’ll be all over them. Cheers.

"What I love is that [in] every great slasher film, you’ve kind of got to have some nudity, so why not really go for it. And that’s one of my favorite scenes in the movie. I thought it was hilarious and funny and just really awesome."

I love my Brassiere

2009-04-12T14:28:00.003+05:30

since the last time i wrote about my progress on this terrific goal, i added to my fabulous collection three more gorgeous pieces. one of them in a vintage style. how precious is that?!

i also found out that one of the things i love the most is buying underwear. you know, some women love to buy shoes, bags… me? underwear. that’s for sure.

2 more sets, a bra to add to a set, and bits that match other bits. I think I might have spent a bit too much on friday shopping but ahh well its all worth it. Its getting more and more fabulous by the day.

The store Free People has the cutest underwear, I bought 3 pairs last week, theyre adorable

A gorgeous set arrived from figleaves yesterday so I wore them all day. so pretty and rather hot. I love the feeling of knowing I’m wearing something really nice and matching underneath rather than unmatching old cotton ones with little bobbles on that arent their orginal colour. I think its also a confidence thing, life is just better with good undernear, definately not essential, but it can help.

Sarah visited my home

2009-04-12T00:44:00.002+05:30

Sarah just left. I invited her here for the 15-day stretch where I had 3 musicals to go to. It was her graduation gift... I'm the best aunt ever.

Mert, her mom (my bone-marrow matcher) came up with her for the first 5 days. Neither one of them had ever visited Pittsburgh before. Mert visited me when I first bought my house, but she was helping get me settled in and we didn't venture into the city. This was the inaugural visit. I hadn't done much in Pittsburgh in the year I'd been here either, so we were all going on the same expedition.

Well, the visit didn't start off well. My air-conditioner died a few days before their arrival and hadn't been replaced yet. We all had to huddle down in the basement where I had my handy portable A/C I bought the last time the central A/C failed. They slept on the pull-out couch; I resumed my position on the basement floor... where I spent my first 4 months in this house. Luckily the repairmen were coming the next day to REPLACE both the A/C and the furnace... thanks to my home warranty (which only has one month left!).

The night they arrived I got caught at work and they had to enter my house without me. Mert had seen the house when I first bought it, but that was almost a year's worth of improvements ago. I called her just as she entered my kitchen. She squealed with delight. "Judy! It's gorgeous! You are so lucky!!!" "You like it?" "I LOVE it!" What timing.

An 8-year-old's explanation of God

2009-04-12T00:08:00.000+05:30

It was written by an 8-year-old named Danny Dutton, who lives in Chula Vista, CA. He wrote it for his third grade homework assignment, to 'explain God.'

[ ... and he had such an assignment, in California, and someone published it, I guess miracles do happen ! . ]

EXPLANATION OF GOD:
'One of God's main jobs is making people. He makes them to replace the ones that die, so there will be enough people to take care of things on earth. He doesn't make grownups, just babies I think because they are smaller and easier to make. That way he doesn't have to take up his valuable time teaching them to talk and walk. He can just leave that to mothers and fathers.'
'God's second most important job is listening to prayers. An awful lot of this goes on, since some people, like preachers and things, pray at times besides bedtime. God doesn't have time to listen to the radio or TV because of this. Because he hears everything, there must be a terrible lot of noise in his ears, unless he has thought of a way to turn it off.'

'God sees everything and hears everything and is everywhere which keeps Him pretty busy. So you shouldn't go wasting his time by going over your mom and dad's head asking for something they said you couldn't have.'

'Atheists are people who don't believe in God. I don't think there are any in Chula Vista . At least there aren't any who come to our church.'

!
'Jesus is God's Son. He used to do all the hard work, like walking on water and performing miracles and trying to teach the people who didn't want to learn about God. They finally got tired of him preaching to them and they crucified him But he was good and kind, like his father, and he told his father that they didn't know what they were doing and to forgive them and God said OK.'

'His dad (God) appreciated everything that he had done and all his hard work on earth so he told him he didn't have to go out on the road anymore. He could stay in heaven.. So he did. And now he helps his dad out by listening to prayers and seeing things which are important for God to take care of and which ones he can take care of himself without having to bother God. Like a secretary, only more important.'

'You can pray anytime you want and they are sure to help you because they got it worked out so one of them is on duty all the time.'

'You should always go to church on Sunday because it makes God happy, and if there's anybody you want to make happy, it's God!

Don't skip church to do something you think will be more fun like going to the beach. This is wrong. And besides the sun doesn't come out at the beach until noon anyway.'

'If you don't believe in God, besides being an atheist, you will be very lonely, because your parents can't go everywhere with you, like to camp, but God can. It is good to know He's around you when you're scared, in the dark or when you can't swim and you get thrown into real deep water by big kids.'

'But...you shouldn't just always think of what God can do for you. I figure God put me here and he can take me back anytime he pleases.

And....that' s why I believe in God.'

January Jones - Mad Men's Betty Draper as you've never seen her before

2009-04-11T14:28:00.001+05:30

January Jones (born January 5, 1978) is a Golden Globe-nominated American actress and former Abercrombie & Fitch model.

She currently appears in the AMC original television drama series Mad Men as young suburban housewife and mother Betty Draper. She is also well known for her role as Cadence Flaherty in American Wedding (2003), from the American Pie comedy film series.

She had the lead female role in the movie Love's Enduring Promise as a pioneer family's oldest child. Her character fell in love with a mysterious man who saved her father's life.

Jones has had supporting roles in Anger Management (2003), Love Actually, and Dirty Dancing: Havana Nights. In 2005 she appeared as a U.S. border guard's frustrated wife in the film The Three Burials of Melquiades Estrada directed by and starring Tommy Lee Jones. In We Are Marshall (2006), she played the role of Carol Dawson, wife of football coach William "Red" Dawson.

She appeared in the Season 18 Law & Order episode "Quit Claim", playing a slippery, manipulative con artist who matches wits with Assistant District Attorney Cutter, in which she is the lone surviving suspect connected to a real estate scam involving organized crime.

In 2008 she was nominated for the Actor award at the Screen Actors Guild Awards/14th Screen Actors Guild Awards for Outstanding Performance by an Ensemble in a Drama Series for Mad Men (2007), shared with Bryan Batt, Anne Dudek, Michael Gladis, Jon Hamm, Christina Hendricks, Vincent Kartheiser, Robert Morse, Elisabeth Moss, Maggie Siff, John Slattery, Rich Sommer and Aaron Staton.

Chanelle has become a top draw in the glamour world

2009-04-11T11:03:00.000+05:30

Big Brother has given us some rather questionable stars over the last few years - we're not naming names, but we can't help but think that the world could have done without Jade Goody - but we can all give thanks for Chanelle Hayes.

When she went into the Big Brother house in 2007 at the age of 19, she was a pint-sized northern saucepot from Wakefield with a slightly odd Posh Spice obsession. Since she came out, however, she has shunned the usual Big Brother career path of just going to a lot of showbiz parties and opening supermarkets, and has become a top draw in the glamour world, a TV presenter and pop singer.

Save Indian Economy

2009-03-30T00:59:00.000+05:30

U CAN MAKE A HUGE DIFFERENCE TO THE INDIAN ECONOMY BY FOLLOWING FEW SIMPLE STEPS.

Please spare a couple of minutes here... for the sake of India ... our country.

I got this article from one of my friends, but it's true, I can see this in day to day life,

Small example,
Before 5 months 1 US $ = IND Rs 39
After 5 months. Now it is 1 $ = IND Rs 50

Do you think US Economy is booming? No, but Indian Economy is Going Down.

Our Economy is in u'r hands

INDIAN economy is in a crisis. Our country like many other ASIAN countries is undergoing a severe economic crunch. Many INDIAN industries are closing down. The INDIAN economy is in a crisis and if we do not take proper steps to control those, we will be in a critical situation.

More than 30000 crore rupees of foreign exchange are being siphoned out of our country on products such as cosmetics, snacks, tea, beverages... etc which are grown, produced and consumed here.

A cold drink that costs only 70 / 80 paisa to produce is sold for NINE rupees, and a major chunk of profits from these are sent abroad. This is a serious drain on INDIAN economy.

We have nothing against Multinational companies, but to protect our own interests we request everybody to use INDIAN products only for next two years. With the rise in petrol prices, if we do not do this, the rupee will devalue further and we will end up paying much more for the same products in the near future.

What you can do about it?

1. Buy only products manufactured by WHOLLY INDIAN COMPANIES.
2. ENROLL as many people as possible for this cause.

Each individual should become a leader for this awareness.

This is the only way to save our country from severe economic crisis. You don't need to give-up your lifestyle. You just need to choose an alternate product.

All categories of products are available from WHOLLY INDIAN COMPANIES.

Occupying the northern third of the island of Great Britain, it shares a border with England to the south and is bounded by the North Sea to the east, the Atlantic Ocean to the north and west, and the North Channel and Irish Sea to the southwest. In addition to the mainland, Scotland consists of over 790 islands including the Northern Isles and the Hebrides.

It was the hub of the Scottish Enlightenment of the 18th century, which saw Scotland become one of the commercial, intellectual and industrial powerhouses of Europe. Scotland's largest city is Glasgow, which was once one of the world's leading industrial cities, and now lies at the centre of the Greater Glasgow conurbation which dominates the Scottish Lowlands.

The Kingdom of Scotland was an independent state until 1 May 1707 when it joined in a political union with the Kingdom of England to create a united Kingdom of Great Britain.

Scotland's legal system continues to be separate from those of England, Wales, and Northern Ireland and Scotland still constitutes a distinct jurisdiction in public and in private law.

Scotland is from the Latin Scoti, the term applied to Gaels. The Late Latin word Scotia (land of the Gaels) was initially used to refer to Ireland. By the 11th century at the latest, Scotia was being used to refer to (Gaelic-speaking) Scotland north of the river Forth, alongside Albania or Albany, both derived from the Gaelic Alba.

Repeated glaciations, which covered the entire land-mass of modern Scotland, have destroyed any traces of human habitation that may have existed before the Mesolithic period. It is believed that the first post-glacial groups of hunter-gatherers arrived in Scotland around 12,800 years ago, as the ice sheet retreated after the last glaciation.

Lingerie - undergarments of either gender

2009-03-29T00:08:00.000+05:30

The lingerie industry has expanded in the 21st century with designs that double as outerwear. The French refer to this as 'dessous-dessus' which basically means innerwear as outerwear.

The concept of lingerie being visually appealing was a development of the later nineteenth century. Up through the first half of the 20th century women selected underwear for three major purposes: to alter their shape (first with corsets and later with girdles or bras), for reasons of hygiene, or for modesty. Women's underwear before the invention of the crinoline was often very large and bulky.

While the term in the French language applies to all undergarments for either gender, in English it is applied specifically to those women's undergarments designed to be visually appealing or erotic, typically incorporating materials such as Lycra, nylon (nylon tricot), polyester, satin, lace and/or silk and not applied to functional cotton undergarments. It is commonly pronounced in English with a faux French pronunciation (such as LONJ-er-ee in British pronunciation or lonj-er-AY in American pronunciation).

Lingerie is a term for fashionable and alluring women's undergarments. It derives from the French word linge, "washables" — as in faire le linge, "do the laundry" — and ultimately from lin for washable linen, the fabric from which European undergarments were made before the general introduction of cotton from Egypt and then from India.

The boutique Faire Frou Frou, which is an antiquated phrase meaning "show it off", heralds this philosophy by categorizing lingerie as an accessory with details such as straps and lace trim that should be layered and shown as part of one's outerwear.

The stuff of which dreams are made

Jessica Marie Alba (born April 28, 1981) is an American television and film actress.

She began her television and movie appearances at age 13 in Camp Nowhere and The Secret World of Alex Mack (1994). Alba rose to prominence as the lead actress in the television series Dark Angel (2000–2002).

Alba later appeared in various films including Honey (2003), Sin City (2005), Fantastic Four (2005), Into the Blue (2005), Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer and Good Luck Chuck both in 2007.

Alba appears frequently on the "Hot 100" section of Maxim and was voted AskMen.com's number one on their list of "99 Most Desirable Women" in 2006, as well as "Hottest Woman in the World" by FHM in 2007.

The use of her image on the cover of the March 2006 Playboy sparked a lawsuit by her, which was later dropped.

Alba has won various awards for her acting, including the Choice Actress Teen Choice Award and Saturn Award for Best Actress (TV) for her acting in the series Dark Angel, though her acting has also been criticized, as she has been nominated for numerous Razzie Awards as well.

Alba's early life was marked by a multitude of physical maladies; she suffered collapsed lungs twice, had pneumonia 4-5 times a year, a ruptured appendix, and a tonsillar cyst. This isolated her from other children at school because she was in the hospital so often that no one knew her well enough to befriend her

Alba expressed interest in acting since the age of five. In 1992, the 11-year-old Alba persuaded her mother to take her to an acting competition in Beverly Hills, California whose grand prize was free acting classes. Alba won the grand prize, and took her first acting lessons. An agent signed Alba nine months later. Her first appearance on film was a small role in the 1994 feature Camp Nowhere as Gail. She was originally hired for two weeks but her role turned into a two-month job in a leading role when one of the prominent actresses dropped out.
