Go to emmamountart.com or myspace.com/emmamount and feel the unusual sensation of your eyes trying to cross their legs as they wet themselves out of pure joy...and if you're in SF right now, check out The Attack of the B-Movie show at the Space Gallery, where you can pick up something super for a snip: http://bmoviepreview.blogspot.com/
And just as your incontinent eyeballs are readjusting from the onslaught of beauty already blabbered on about, bend over and kiss 'em goodbye as the retina-felching loveliness of this image from the gorgeous Gayla at www.666photography.com bats 'em clean into the middle of next month. Whether you're a rockabilly ripsnorter or a leather-breeched rider after ruinous decadence, you'll find something to clutch to your savagely beating bosom in the sumptuous portfolios to be found chez 666, from pin-up queens to dinky ponies with pretty pink bows. Oh, just go see for yourself at www.myspace.com/666photography...
This is still the back bit of Ms Heather Sweet, still snapped (in a nice way) by Mr Richard Heeps. These lovely peaches have been bumming around on my page forever, but I just don't seem to be able to prise them from the bottom of my heart. Pucker up and smooch this and sundry other works of saturated magnificence at richardheeps.co.uk or even the good fella's page on this here myspace
I've said it before, and I'll say it again...What a VERY Sweet posterior...Heather like this sets a chap's mind to a-roamin' in the Gloamin, eh wot...?

Just caught Gretchen Mol as "The Notorious Bettie Page", surpirsingly lovely although it covers pretty much the same ground as "Dark Angel", and similarly skirts the bigger picture, and by christ it doesn't channel Bettie's cheeky apple-bottom hipswing anywhere near so successfully as Bernie Dexter's "Wild Harem Girl"...

And there's NOTHING like the real thing anyhoo...
