July 2007 Archives

THEY'RE Jen and Mary, and these two babes are bringing you the news in their bikinis -- well, most of the time, anyway. Check out Bikini News on LiveVideo.com. Here are a few clips to whet your appetite.

SEOUL, South Korea--Yup, babes and online games are a potent combination, heh :) Check out this video of the opening ceremony of Gravity Festival 2007, which is being held concurrently with Ragnarok World Championship 2007 at Lotte World.

ONE of my guilty pleasures is watching French Maid TV... and I'm sure many of you will also get hooked once you catch an episode. These are funny, tongue-in-cheek (sometimes literally? Watch it to find out, heh) short clips of How-Tos by models portraying French Maids. Stuff like How to Barter Online. Believe me, you won't find even the geekiest subjects boring when the French Maids are doing the How-To. So to spread the French Maid love, here are clips of some of their episodes. You could also subscribe to their video podcast via iTunes. How to Share Photos! How to Barter Online How to Give CPR How to Video Podcast

WAS talking a few nights ago to my friend, model and FHM babe Sofie Garrucho, when she asked if I'd visited her blog lately. Well, I hadn't for some time now (sorry, Sofie!) and I told her so. Then she laughed and told me to check out one of her recent entries. "Which one?" I asked. "Oh, you'll know which one it is," she said, adding that she got quite a reaction from that post and that some people even called her up or texted her. OK, we did exchange a few text messages after I saw her entry, heh, because I just had to tease Sofie about her new best friend, a dildo named El Rey. Here's an excerpt from her FHM blog entry:

A few days ago I received a package from my very good friends, a couple from Chicago. The last time I talked with them, they told me they bought something for me that I would surely like. They wouldn’t tell me what was in the package. So I thought maybe it was the usual gift from friends like makeup, perfume, or clothing. So I waited for it without much anticipation. Then I finally got a hold of the package they sent me. To my surprise, they bought me this 10-inch silicone dildo. It’s called the “EL REY silicone dildo.” They were actually wrong ’cause I didn’t like it…but I love it! :) The package comes with the phrase: “You’ll feel like Royalty when you meet up with El Rey.” So, I was like, “Hello there, El Rey. Meet your new queen, Sofie!” Ha ha! You can even choose from three different colors. I got the one in vanilla. But if I had a choice I would prefer the caramel one because the vanilla color is too pale for me. The package describes it as a realistic design with sculpted veins and head and a suction cup base which adheres to any hard and smooth surface—PERFECT FOR HANDS-FREE PLAY! I thought, “Whoa! That, I wanna try!” *Grin*

Oh, and you should also check her latest entry, which has a pic of Sofie's girl-on-girl kiss with her date for that night. And congratulations Sofie for being voted No. 88 in the FHM 100 Sexiest Women in the World poll. Last but not least, here's a video clip of Sofie's FHM photo shoot courtesy of the YouTube account of FHM.com.ph webmaster Antonio Ongchap Jr. a.k.a. chapichaps.

CHECK out this video of Alyssa Alano's photo shoot as the June 2007 FHM Online Babe of FHM Philippines, courtesy of the YouTube account of FHM.com.ph webmaster Antonio Ongchap Jr. a.k.a. chapichaps. Alyssa, of course, gained fame for the Keys Me clip that was uploaded to YouTube a year ago and was passed on by Filipino Internet users via e-mail and blogs, introducing even more Filipinos to YouTube. You might even say Keys Me was the tipping point that made YouTube mainstream in the Philippines. And Alyssa knew she had YouTube to thank for her 15 minutes of fame; she even said she was amused by the video and thanked whoever was responsible for it. So, just to wax nostalgic, here's Keys Me again, though I'm sure most of us are sick of it by now, heh :)

INDIAN supermodel and Bollywood actress Malaika Arora, who shot to fame as a VJ for MTV India, does her share in promoting animal rights. Beautiful Malaika dressed up as a bird during a photo session for People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, in Mumbai, India on July 2. Photos courtesy of Associated Press.

SHE may be best remembered as Tom Hank's bitchy girlfriend in "You've Got Mail" (trapped-in-the-elevator scene, she was missing her Tic Tacs). But then again I won't blame you if you remember Meg Ryan more. Because she had blond hair and was the one receiving all those e-mail messages? If Parker Posey were any luckier, she could've been Sandra Bullock in "Speed" or Renee Zellwegger in "Jerry Maguire." But she's too indie for all that, and so she's one of those actresses that show up in arty, indie films like most recently in "The Oh in Ohio" and yes, Richard Linklater's classic slacker movie "Dazed and Confused" (which I think I've seen already but cannot recall exactly). She belongs in the same league as indie staples like Chloe Sevigny or Joey Lauren Adams. Since indie is slowly becoming mainstream these days, the New York Times justifiably did a profile on Parker Posey recently. You could also check out this New York Times interview in MP3 format to hear Parker discuss her role in the movie "Broken English." P.S. She was a villain in the most recent Superman movie. If you still don't remember her, then just Google. :) File photo courtesy of Agence France-Presse.
