Selena Gomez is certainly no child but for some reason, I have a hard time not thinking of her that way. To me, Selena Gomez is still a child. I don’;t know if it’s her adorable baby face or something else, but something about her makes it hard for me to see her as an adult even though that’s clearly what she is. I don’t fault her for it. That sort of innocent little girl vibe really works for her, even when she’s wearing a bikini in Miami and looking all kinds of sexy.
We get it. Miley Cyrus has gone a bit loopy lately but really, is anyone surprised? Right around the time she started exploring a more mature, more adult side of herself, I knew she’d eventually go to far with it and I don’t think that’s the big problem everyone seems to think it is. Of course, I’m a little out of touch with the celebrity gossip world as of late so maybe I’ve missed something. All I know is that, to me, Miley looks incredible in these shots. Is she showing a little more than she intended to? I sincerely doubt it. I don’t care. It seems a little desperate to me but it got people talking. I guess that’s her prerogative. I just hope she doesn’t go too far with the going too far. Once you reach a certain point, it’s hard to get back again. My fingers are crossed for her. I hope she’s one of the good stories and not one of the tragic ones.
There is a lot I love about Selena Gomez. She’s talented. She’s pretty. She seems down to earth and she doesn’t seem to be in a rush to grow up. Some of Selena’s contemporaries seem to be in such a rush to prove that they’re adults that they seem to have no problem at all taking their clothes off any time a photographer has a camera pointed at them. While Selena does pose for racy photo shoots every now and again, they’re certainly not the norm. She’s maturing and taking more control of her sexuality but not in a desperate for attention, desperate to prove herself sort of way. I think these photos for Adidas NEO really show that. She looks grown up and mature but she doesn’t look like she’s showing as much skin as possible. I often find photos like these sexier than super racy, half naked photos because they leave something to the imagination and because the sex appeal is about more than flesh. Instead, it’s about attitude and there’s nothing sexier than a girl with confidence to me.
As if two sets of Rachel Bilson bikini pics in one day wasn’t enough of a treat, this set ups the level of awesome just a little bit by adding in a second gorgeous babe in a bikini and a freaking monkey! The story of the monkey, named Mar-Mar, is a pretty sad one though so naturally, I have to share it. Apparently, Mar-Mar’s mother was struck by a car and killed, leaving Mar-Mar without anyone to care for her. Luckily, a man who works with monkeys stepped in, bottle fed her and raised her to adulthood. Now Mar-Mar hangs out around Zaccios (a bar in Holetown, Barbados), sometimes posing for pictures with tourists like Rachel and her friend. I don’t think it would be possible for me to love these photos any more than I do now. I felt that way about the last set I posted but there’s a monkey in this set! A monkey with a backstory. Brilliant.
Is my title a little harsh? Maybe but Farrah Abraham has really, really ticked me off. For a long time, I said she wasn’t that bad. No, she wasn’t that bad at all. She was just misunderstood and hey, she was under a lot of pressure. My view of her changed drastically in the light of her sex tape revelations. My problem is not the sex tape. My problem is not even the fact that it was more of a straight up porn flick than a ‘leaked’ sex tape (which just sounds icky, by the way). My problem is that she lied about it. She lied about it a lot and she thought the public – not to mention her fans – would be too stupid to figure it out. Yes, that is my problem with Farrah Abraham. Now, for those of you that don’t know what I’ve got my panties all in a twist about, I’ll give you the broad strokes. Word got around that there was a Farrah Abraham sex tape and Farrah immediately denied such a tape existed, following that up by admitting there was a tape and threatening to sue anyone that released it – all pretty much par for the course in the world of celebrity sex tapes. All in all, pretty yawn worthy stuff. Then came news that Abraham’s co-star in this ‘sex tape’ was James Deen – one of the most well known male actors in the adult film industry today. Seemed a little, well, suspicious, at least. When asked if he was dating Farrah, James basically confirmed what everyone was already beginning to suspect. This was no sex tape. This was a porn flick. They met, were tested together and then filmed the movie in front of a camera crew. There was nothing private about this. It was porn that was intended to be sold to the highest bidder. I have no problem at all with porn stars. I think porn is awesome but come on, at least have the respect for your fans to be honest about it. Insulting our intelligence is just plain disrespectful and as a result, any remaining respect I had for this woman is gone.
Much like Petra Slapar, the Slovenian singer and former adult video star I wrote about a few hours ago, I’m not all that familiar with Monika Pucelj, the beautiful young lady in these photos. Like Petra, however, not knowing much about Monika doesn’t keep me from enjoying these shots. Monika is also a Slovenian singer and these photos were also taken in Slovenia. As with the photos of Petra, Monika is showing off her bikini body in a series of fun and flirtatious poses. Of course one can’t help but compare the two sets of photos but that’s not entirely fair. Both women are incredibly beautiful in their own ways. I may find Petra more traditionally attractive but Monika is certainly a stunner in her own right.
