^Jessica's got a fantastic body, but to me she has so little charm or charisma - especially in comparison to Tori, who's a natural.

I can't really get past 'the gap' either

I feel a bit differently- I like Jessica Hart's friendly Fox-face and her gap teeth. In fact, I think her gap teeth are better than Lara Stone's.

Really? See I find Lara's quite endearing.

This is Lara:

This is Jessica:

[tooth] GAP!! [tooth]

Squirrel - for the female sex organs. Pretty much anything that associates animals with human sexuality is odd to me.

I always thought 'beaver' was odd, but squirrel is a new one

So what did you think of Derek, if you saw it Baron?

Interesting. This might be a stupid question, but did they change the titles of the Friday the 13th movies in the local releases?

It's still a wonder how I manage to keep up appearance so to speak with my lack of knowledge of the industry Although naturally these moments are getting less and less.

I am hoping to live in Brixton for three reasons. Firstly, this is where my work is based, so that is always going to be very handy. Secondly, It's also quite central, so easy to travel around. to various parts of London. I was originally from South West London, so it's an area I know pretty well. Although saying that, it's scary how many times i've just had to take a few moments to reassure myself that I am going in the right direction Especially with the underground routes. (five years away and i could be classed as a foreigner ) Thirdly, Ive always liked the cultured background Brixton has. With the interesting characters you get in the area. As well as the independent stores/cafe etc etc

Yeah flat share is the way forward, I simply can't afford it an other way. So whilst looking at potential flats, I am also making sure I get on with the room mates that I would be living with. Preferably I would like to live with a few people and a mix group of boys and girls would be great. Just to keep a nice balance.

So do I get the Barons seal of approval

Yeah, definitely a mix is better - and 'girlfriends' are always a great way to meet more women...

As for Tori, her body is superior to Jessica's...in fact, it's among the most athletic of the models here. She has a great beach body. But I'm less a fan of Tori's face because somehow I get flashbacks to how old has-been trophy wives often look..

Well, yeah, pretty much . Have you read any of the books? I already did the adult entertainment ones, so I couldn't help but address the everyday man . I was just curious what you thought about these.

This is Lara:

For me, Lara stone is prettier than Jessica Hart when their mouths are closed.

But Jessica's prettier than Lara when they smile. Lara's gap is 'half-way' and it's not noticeable until up close. I personally think that Jessica's gap makes her smile even better. It might have something to do with the symmetry of her face and how the big gap smile relates to it.

Interesting. This might be a stupid question, but did they change the titles of the Friday the 13th movies in the local releases?

^That's not stupid at all! Indeed it was called Martes 13. My favourite of recent times was The King's Speech which had the far more sinister title in El Curso Del Rey (the curse of the king) !

Haha, here it was called: "How to become a king." This is not the weirdest example.... seriously, sometimes I wonder who get to translate the titles, some of them don't make sense.

And as for this 'gap' discussion:

"Every time I go to the dentist, they always say, 'You really need to fix that gap of yours.' I'm like, 'My gap is paying your dentist bills.'"-Lara Stone

So what did you think of Derek, if you saw it Baron?

And Karl Pilkington 'acting' wasn't as jarring as you might have suspected. He was quite good...

Haha, here it was called: "How to become a king." This is not the weirdest example.... seriously, sometimes I wonder who get to translate the titles, some of them don't make sense.

No, I don't know why they change film titles half the time. There's that famous story though that they changed the British film The Madness Of King George III to just The Madness Of King George for the US market as they thought audiences there wouldn't go to see it as they'd wonder what had happened in the first two films! In Argentina, Brokeback Mountain was translated to The Secret On The Mountain, but that made some sense I suppose as "brokeback" is just a name - and one that doesn't mean anything in regards to the film, but could suggest something else (i.e an action film, maybe ). But it's still loads better than the Turkish translation, which was Faggot Cowboys!!!

How many gap-toothed top models are there? I've only seen two so far.

Hi Layla.

^You see, I lived in North London, so I'm not so au fait with that part of town (South of the river, mate? At this time of night?) - but I know Coldharbour Lane, and The Dogstar pub (which I guess is still there?). How exciting though... You get my seal!

Yeah, definitely a mix is better - and 'girlfriends' are always a great way to meet more women...

Coldhardbour Lane sounds familar, however Dogstar doesn't. However I am not a drinker ( Shocking I know) So I don't take a keen interest in pubs to be fair.

Well indeed, female roomates always bring their mates over

So what did you think of Derek, if you saw it Baron?

^I just watched it tonight! It's actually very affectionate. I saw a whole lot of tabloid-style headers (on various internet news-sites) saying "Gervais goes too far" or variations of that - implying he was mocking something; I'm not sure what they thought he was mocking though? 'Derek' the character is a little slow, but he's well-meaning and treated with affection by those around him - the only time he encounters people 'taking the piss', it is they who are shown to be in the wrong (and dealt with accordingly). Gervais has done this before, wrong-footing the audience by being sincere, and it wasn't overly cloying either. I think it could have legs.

And Karl Pilkington 'acting' wasn't as jarring as you might have suspected. He was quite good...

Yeah, Karl was good, although essentially just playing himself.. which is all you can expect really. I found that exchange between the two in the bus to be one of the funniest moments - that could have been Ricky and Karl any day of the week

Funny you should use the word jarring though, because that was exactly my reaction to Ricky's performance, at least to start with. I suppose he's no Dustin Hoffman, but I just didn't buy it at all. I think it's probably equal parts my over-familiarisation with him, and his lack of range as an actor. Still, it was better once he got going, and it was genuinely touching in the end. I look forward to seeing where it goes too

That 80s movie Airplane was renamed to Flying High over here, and I have no idea why

Also, how's this for an awesome owl photo

I love both of those gaps and models

^So it's like State-sanctioned S&M? And you get treats after too? Winner!

I bet it descends into debauchery half the time...

mostly it descends into running for your life and there´s no argument to it - everytime I state how stupid this tradition is and how I just won´t stand and get beaten, guys just smirk, get themselves a whip and tell me "Be quiet and stand still, we need to keep up the traditions!" eventhough this might be the only tradition they have ever followed <_< so I guess it will never "die"

but oh hell, they are happy like little boys and always expect some treats, one just has to laugh at their faces - especially when most of my friends are over 30

state-sanctioned S&M, lool. Yeah, something like that

^Jennka o_O

That's so strange

Do the guys make the 'beating sticks' themselves? They look like awesome cat toys.

some of them do, some of them don´t depends. These modern guys just take any stick that is lying near - out in the villages the guys usually create them themselves

and you have no idea how many foreign people are fascinated by this tradition - it´s mostly like "You are legally beating women?" or "I think we need to transfer this awesome tradition into our country too" and "You even get treats or money? Brilliant!" - of course comming from guys

^Hello, Princess!

Wow are you serious about this Turkish title

The most famous example of a badly translated title here is the one for "Dirty Dancing." Nowadays, when it airs on tv it's just "Dirty Dancing", but at first it was known under the title... "Swirling sex"

"Die Hard" movies are knwon as "Glass Traps" and I never knew why the Polish title for "Coyote Ugly" was "Won dreams"

And as for this 'gap' discussion:

"Every time I go to the dentist, they always say, 'You really need to fix that gap of yours.' I'm like, 'My gap is paying your dentist bills.'"-Lara Stone

Hi Layla.

There are many more for sure. Georgia May Jagger, Lindsey Wixson :yuckky: Iekeline Stange... Monika Jagaciak and Abbey Lee Kershaw also have gaps, although not as wide as Lara's.

Hi.

^Yes, Faggot Cowboys is sadly true...

Actually Die Hard was called The Crystal Jungle in Argentina. I suppose it made some sense in the setting of the first film - but sod all after that! Interesting that Poland went for a similar tack then?

Yeah, Karl was good, although essentially just playing himself.. which is all you can expect really. I found that exchange between the two in the bus to be one of the funniest moments - that could have been Ricky and Karl any day of the week

Looks like it and "Brokeback Mountain" was known under "The secret of Brokeback Mountain".

I just looked for more titles and found even more ridiculous translations, but some of them were wrong. For example Sofia Coppola's "Somewhere" was not translated simply as "Between places", it had a double title: "Somewhere. Między miejscami (between places)".

I forgot about "In Bruges", here known as "First shoot, then go sightseeing" (I have never seen the film though, so maybe the translation makes sense...?).

And now I looked at some Finnish titles and

"Always the first time"-"50 first dates"

"Children of men"-"Sons of human"

"Captain Ron"-"Idiots in Aloft"

And some Norwegian:

"Atonement"-"I'm sorry"

"Bend it like Beckham"-"Screw it like Beckham"

"Enchanted"-"Adventures in New York"

"Failure to launch"-"Mambo"

"Jaws"-"Shark Summer"

"The silence of the lambs"-"The night moth"

And an extra from Brazil:

"Confessions of a shopaholic"-"The Consumption Deliriums of Becky Bloom"

There are many more for sure. Georgia May Jagger, Lindsey Wixson :yuckky: Iekeline Stange... Monika Jagaciak and Abbey Lee Kershaw also have gaps, although not as wide as Lara's.

Hi.

Hi Layla. So you're finally here.

Once again, you bring your knowledge to bear. Interesting intuitive list..I forgot about Monika and Abbey. It seems to me that Monika is self-conscious of her gap and her smile so she seems to, for the most part, do only half-smiles at most. I forgot about Abbey and I believe that hers is on the small side.

Georgia May Jagger looks a lot like Lara Stone and seems to be encroaching on her look (except not as good..).

Lindsey Wixon, yes I agree

And Iekeline Strange...I've never even heard of until now. I'm doing a little homework on her and wow!, She's a little scary and intimidating looking but has such great range!

What do you guys think of her?

-------------

BTW, did anybody else see the Toni Garrn mini-drama? She was announced as being the next Angel, but then her status was abruptly changed to lesser contract.

Squirrel - for the female sex organs. Pretty much anything that associates animals with human sexuality is odd to me.

I always thought 'beaver' was odd, but squirrel is a new one

^New to me too. I reckon Joe's just getting carried away with is squirrel 'thing'...

I'd always used (or presumed it meant at least - I can't recall ever using it myself) 'bust a nut' as a term for working really hard?

The 'bust a nut' is used for the male orgasm generally . For the other, I meant beaver although squirrel is used for the same thing . One entertainment example is the "Bring it On" movie . "You're just made because those dude cheerleaders are taking all your squirrel" or something like that.

^"Beating", no. But a little "spanking" and then some cash? Yes!

I´m thinking about other traditions that you would enjoy so much but... I guess this is the only one do you have (in Argentina or UK) such "crazy" but funny tradition as well?
