With Asian Gravure Idols/Race Queens...I actually find them not "fit/trim" enough for my tastes

Out of curiosity-who are your favorite Super heroines, Baron?

Frankly, when Jim Lee came long and gave her 'big texan hair' and had her start dating Gambit it was all over (hated hated hated that relationship and how irredeemably soppy she became :yuckky: ); but thankfully she seems to be coming out of the other side finally! But if they were to reboot her character on screen then she'd be late 80's Rogue - as drawn by Marc Silvestri - spunky, sassy and wearing a green tank top and bikini bottoms over a black body suit and be played by Behati!

So how are you liking Angry Boys, Baron? I'm a bit divided about it.. it's a little hit and miss. S.Mouse doesn't really do it for me

In other news, your Blues are playing the Pies today. It's better for the Eagles if the Pies win, but nothing would please me more than to see them get smashed.. so I guess it's win-win

I'm hoping the loss of Heath Shaw is going to leave a significant dent in their team. Did you hear that he was suspended for 8 weeks for placing a $10 bet on a game?

Actually, I was fortunate( <_< ) enough to watch the game live in the UK - though it did mean getting up at 5am - and, although they lost, the score wasn't bad considering how shaky they looked in the first quarter...

All in all it was not a good day for viewing sports as far as I'm concerned. It certainly got worse as the night drew in. And that is all I'm prepared to discuss at the moment on that matter...

As for S.mouse - I really like him. I feel there's a tendency to overly praise all rap in order to make it a legitimate art-form for the masses (which it is anyway, so it's not needed); and there are some superb lyricists/poets on the scene, as well as inspired samples... However, there is a load of old shit out there too - and his hastily thrown together pieces with truly stupid raps and "beatbox 101" is a great pastiche of that! It shows just how much some guys need their management, else they're likely to believe their own hype and start taking dumps on police car bonnets thinking that will impress everyone. How on Earth Chris Lilley managed to get that character OK'd and get the supporting cast is anybody's guess though!

Have to say however, nobody on this series yet has eclipsed the superb Mr.G...

I saw a cop today that looked oddly like Paco

Well, if it makes you feel better, most threads in non-model forums have a much lower standard of views. There are a lot of popular actresses and singers have equal or less pages. That's not to mention all the lurkers like this fellow who are just too shy to join or post ...

Those 'Other Females Of Interest' threads only have as many pages due to me and Hime riffing off of each other! And now she's on a sabbatical again it's all kinds of lonely... We were exhaustive when our tastes collided.

Tell you what I hate though, and that's when a member only posts something new they've found and don't mention the 10+ posts before that you've posted. And then what I really hate is when a third member then pops up to thank that member for their 1 post and don't acknowledge the previous 10+ of yours!

What about the ones that thank someone else for your scans ?

Yeah

I like the premise of the character, but I just find the scenes with him in to be the weakest. It's had its moments for sure, but it's just not as strong as his other shows have been. I can't really put my finger on why though

He's definitely got some balls though. Some people said he was pushing it in We Can Be Heroes, when he played a Chinese guy playing an Aborigine

Just came in here to break up these long conversations about stuff I won't read.

Here's a picture:

By the way Michael* (and donbot), referring to a much earlier conversation, I'm currently in the UK and watched me some Home & Away and Neighbours for *ahem* nostalgia's sake and, yes - they do still employ rather "healthy" Aussie actresses! :brows:

Ah yes! After our last Aussie soap-related chat, my curiosity got the better of me and I decided to have another look at Neighbours. Well, I've watched a few more since and my crush on Jade is beginning to gather pace. Good to see that the show's tried and tested 'totally hot long-lost sister comes to stay for no apparent reason' strategy is still in full effect! :brows:

^Oh no, fear not - you've never done that!

As for 'false idols' - well, (strictly) it's giving undue honour to objects or creatures in place of God. I just meant unworthy celebrities really...

Oh, I never got this celebrity adoration either. When I was younger, everyone around me had their "idols" and they asked me things like "Who do you adore? Who is your role-model?" and I was never able to answer right back, just staring at them quite dully, telling nothing, then telling "no one" and firstly felt wrong for it. Later I realized Iwasn´t wrong, I just did not have any idols. I liked many bands and many actresses and models of course, but that was all, I never wanted to look like them or live like them and mostly I considered the things they did to be weird or wrong still I adored their work, that was the most important thing for me.

Now, when I think back about my childhood, I mostly wanted to be like heroes in the books I read or... Pocahontas I wanted to live the adventurous life they lived, to search for lost continents or just vander through the country (some dreams DO come true ) and sleep where your feet bring you, like when I read my very very favourite series of The Famous Five from Enid Blyton, I so adored Georgina with her dog, with her pure, brave and stubborn heart also loved Alfred Hitchcock and the Three Investigators

so I guess... those were my heroes at those times. While on this topic, how about you, B? Who were your "heroes"? Had you any idols?

And why won't you read my long conversations? Would you prefer if I 'dumbed down'?!!

Whoops - double posted there! So, instead (and so AnaBBarrosFan doesn't have to ignore it again! ), here's a really weird picture of Erin Heatherton that I don't know what to make of:

By weird to you mean all I can focus on is how much I'd like to have sex with Erin Heatherton... then yes... Yes to whatever this conversation is about.

(that is random as fuck though. )

Also: I want you to read this. Just please tell me your thoughts.

It starts from there... please... Continue on till you see me: http://www.bellazon.com/main/index.php?s=&...t&p=2601301

I've decided to let it go, because arguing with someone like that kills braincells. Stupid is as a Candice fan does. (Not all, though... just a certain group of them)

With Asian Gravure Idols/Race Queens...I actually find them not "fit/trim" enough for my tastes

^Try a little Park Eun Kyung (or Park Si Hyun) - she's 'firmer' than most of them, and maybe'll fit into your more athletic tastes: http://www.bellazon.com/main/index.php?showtopic=21668 Works for me anyway!

Out of curiosity-who are your favorite Super heroines, Baron?

^As I've said before, I'm mainly a one team man now (being the X-Men) - and my affections are ensconced within. Though, naturally, I'm drawn towards Psylocke, hubba - my one true comic-book love is Rogue. And I don't mean the cartoon or film versions (no offence to Anna Paquin) but mainly the original interpretation of her from the 80's and 90's...

Frankly, when Jim Lee came long and gave her 'big texan hair' and had her start dating Gambit it was all over (hated hated hated that relationship and how irredeemably soppy she became :yuckky: ); but thankfully she seems to be coming out of the other side finally! But if they were to reboot her character on screen then she'd be late 80's Rogue - as drawn by Marc Silvestri - spunky, sassy and wearing a green tank top and bikini bottoms over a black body suit and be played by Behati!

Dude, can't blame ya for the lsut with psy either. especially in her ninja get up. just wow!!!!!

But yes Rogue does have that certain x-facotr (no pun intended). i think it is the southern sass in her that i like best, along with the tragedy of her powers that draws me to her.

Whoops - double posted there! So, instead (and so AnaBBarrosFan doesn't have to ignore it again! ), here's a really weird picture of Erin Heatherton that I don't know what to make of:

Guys with puppets get girls? And there I was thinking 'Being John Malkovich' was a work of fiction!

I've decided to let it go, because arguing with someone like that kills braincells. Stupid is as a Candice fan does. (Not all, though... just a certain group of them)

Partly I started the 'Totally Spurious' thread to differentiate between my satirical reactions to the po-faced declarations and "facts" on the 'Official VS' and all the 'VSFS' threads as I noticed that it was troubling a few Bellazonians (as opposed to them just not finding it funny, which I accept is a likely and legitimate reaction of its own!). Unfortunately you can't set up a sister thread for every existing thread here wherein you can have free reign to be irreverent towards the subject and other members - otherwise we'd be fine. I don't know about you, but apart from a couple of "legit" threads I'd spend all my time in there instead! So we have to tread carefully alongside our less enlightened brethren with their puritanical zeal and appalling grammar - so that when they do unadvisedly argue back (which they will inevitably try) you end up having NO IDEA what they are talking about.

I liked your very first post there - where you warned the offending member in your humorous way, but let it be known that you partially agreed. It was tremendously even-handed. But, naturally, even-handedness did not follow in it's wake and soon the über-fans took hold and turned it into a witch hunt in which any mediators were shot down in a frenzy of accusations that simply weren't applicable.

There are ways and means of criticism and the initial flashpoint wasn't a good example! That doesn't mean to say that you shouldn't be able to do so though. I find a member who doesn't frequent the thread coming in and saying "X is ugly" hardly constructive or debatable. It's just rude. But putting it in another context, opening it for debate, or being critical in an informed capacity is perfectly legit - and the "if someone is not a X's Fans(sic) Please get out of here thanks!" response is - as you quite rightly said - obnoxious and counter-productive. It's a bad BZ meme. I don't mind an argument at all - but it's got to go beyond "we all love X and you're wrong so go away" or "X is sooo ugly, you're all idiots".

I'm glad Candice weighed into the argument herself, it's about time we realised such comments are about real people - but (and I don't know if this is a frequent thing with her or not - I'm not qualified to comment!) she kind of missed the satire of it too. But then she needed to read the whole thing and have a handle on the members to realise the joke. Also it's far to easy to hate on a model and then forget you've done so when somebody hates on your favourite. I'm well aware I'm walking a knife-edge on this particular subject - but I'd like to think most members know that there's an affection behind it all (except Selita - she's atrocious!!!)?

Anyway, I guess this might be too long for you to fully read (!) - but maybe that's the point right there: YOU know I'm joking with you; as I could tell that your posts there started in jest, but ended up being weary with the fucknuts on here. I'm sorry about that - I thought it was all legit if that counts for anything?

They all just need to sit in chairs - as that what chairs are for, right?

^Satire needs to be clearly signposted here - and even then it can go over some member's heads. I appreciate that english might trickier for some, and I do give the benefit of that doubt in a lot of cases... But this excuse doesn't always cut it!

They all just need to sit in chairs - as that what chairs are for, right?

I did in fact read every single line of this wonderful post. It makes me feel as though I am not completely alone in my utter confusion of the cluster-fuck that ensued. Against my better judgement, I did try to explain why (perhaps a bit arrogantly?) that they were being irrational and downright stupid. Did I really think it would go over well? Sadly, I did. Perhaps there was my real mistake. I have learned my lesson though: Candice fans are batshit crazy and perhaps the worst model fanatics of all! (To think I was dreading the new Rosie fans with her new 'movie career' and such. How little I knew back then...)

Also: That chair comment gets me every time!

I was actually more shocked by the fact that felinoh is a male. Like, seriously? Rarely you happen to see males acting like a 12 year old girls

Ana, you should know that arguing with fanatics is useless waste of your energy. You never win - as they say, Never argue with an idiot, they drag you down to their level and beat you with experience. I SO try to follow this one. But still adore your steadiness. As Baron said, it transforms to the witch hunting later

I like to visit Candice thread because I find her beautiful (sometimes disturbed by her face, acting and gestures ) and I do like her body really much - and I DO ignore most posts and very rarely comment there. I don´t like fanatics and it happens everywhere, in Bar´s place as well. Bloody shit.

Love what Baron said - all our comments here are afterall about real people and members here should not forget about it. I seriously doubt that someone would have the balls to tell most of the things someone writes in anonymity to the model´s face.

It´s always better to just have fun. yay for Baron.

so I guess... those were my heroes at those times. While on this topic, how about you, B? Who were your "heroes"? Had you any idols?

^I'm kind of with you - I never know how to answer that when anybody asked me as a kid. I suppose I wanted to 'be' things more - like a Formula 1 driver, a superhero, a member of the Goonies! I remember I first grew my hair so I could be a rock star like Michael Hutchence (and, hence, cop off with Helena Christensen! :brows: ), and I guess I went through a phase of wanting to dress like 70's era Robert Redford - but that's about that. I figure fictional characters are always best to aspire to, "real-life" people tend to let you down...

I agree, fictional characters are almost always what they seem - and you can read them through for how long did you want to be Formula 1 driver? and copping off with Helena Christensen is always worth the dreaming :brows:
