Pre-nuclear family, Post-nuclear Boston Fallout 4:  I like seeing the innovative little things that can be done:

So, fashion week is going on and Murad is tomorrow.  There's been some nice things:

Ondaria looked amazing.  Josephine Le Tutour and Hedvig looked good, too. 

But save for tomorrow, Lauren de Graaf has won the week for me! Her backstage photos are also extremely beautiful and elfin.

New models:  Katya Ledneva, Zlata Semenko, and Susanne Knipper

Anybody following the week?

Also Michael Dowson is an amazing nude photographer.

Ondaria is winning really hard:

Elie Saab Haute Couture F/W 2015.16 Paris


 
 

I'm finally doing this :  I appreciate all of you for visiting and also the friendships that have been developed here over the years.

Making this is very much a "dejavu"!!  Just from the first 40 galleries I can say: I miss Fabiana S. and Kendra Spears.

Now Hot// Cult Icon's Junkyard: The Contents!!!

Instead of avoiding several hours of clerical work for years, I have decided to produce a table of contents.  I will periodically update this thread with my 'spare minutes'.  I should be done in a few weeks.  All random galleries will be relabeled with the featured models.

 

These galleries are a historical highlight of many top models.  This is a culmination of material gathered since 2010.  It should benefit anybody interested in seeing long dated, personally selected photos of a particular model.  20 galleries per post. 

 

I will also do a model index.

 

Comments, criticism, and suggestions are not only welcome, but desired..But please post them here:

Looking good so far, Andy! 

I too miss Fabiana.  

Thanks for the support Candle!

This is the next grouping:  http://www.bellazon.com/main/topic/58357-cult-icons-junkyard-the-contents/?p=3796094

Fabiana was really special- in the same class as AnaBB.  I still haven't found another Brazilian swimsuit model to match her

Looking good so far, Andy! 

I too miss Fabiana.  

She's slowly getting back into work, mostly catalog and print.  She's doing Despi (I think) again this year.  Her baby is over 1 now, so I hope we see more of her work.

oh wow, I had no idea:  http://www.bellazon.com/main/topic/3468-fabiana-semprebom/page-100

Maybe she'll get back into the game.  She was amazing when she walked Monange and the Brazilian swimwear shows.  What stands out with her most is that erotic face- no one else has it.

With the career thing- that's better than Kendra.   Kendra Spears also had a baby but she's been MIA ever since. 

Has any other model captured your attention like Fabiana? 

Sandra Kubica, Alexandria Morgan, Hailey Clauson, Jo Skriver, and are some that come to mind for the new blood.

I think Fabiana's always going to be my first girl crush though. I read somewhere that she was described as "doe eyed", which is what they always said about Audrey Hepburn as well.

Candle,

I have a lot of Jo's stuff.    The other 16 galleries should have quite a bit more.  Do you like Farah Holt?  Facially she reminds me of Fabiana.   I have a lot of Farah in my galleries.

Are you a big fan of sci-fi, star wars?

Besides Fury Road, I like Blade Runner and the Alien movie franchise.  Minority Report was another good one.  There are others.

Also, RUSH (2013) was very good.  Here is the thread:

http://www.bellazon.com/main/topic/48809-rush-2013/

I am an old sci-fi and fantasy geek from the cradle! Star Wars and Star Trek feel as much as home as Tolkien and D&D.
I have not seen Farah that I remember.  If you ask me though, Ieva Laguna could be Fabi's sister. She walks the VSFS. Don't know if she'll get the shot this year with all the new Angels.




 

Hey Cult Icon ! Late Happy Birthday to you, i read you celebrate it a few days ago with this awesome dinner !

Here Brooke Buchanan

You surrely need this "umbrella" with the heat over the US !

^

Thank you JJ3!  Although unlike the heat complainers I actually like the heat.  It is very cold most of the year where I live. (In Northern NJ, somewhat close to NYC )  I sometimes fantasize about moving to California (eg. San Francisco).

Out of curiosity, do you make photo collections JJ3?

what other sci-fi/fantasy to you like?  I am quite simple with these things- I get my sci-fi fix from skimming comics.  Every weds new issues get released online and I like to skim through or search for the ones I like.

I like LOW currently.  It's very creative:  http://viewcomic.com/low-001-2014/

Yes, that's a good catch.  Ieva does look like Fabriana.  Ieva is riding some contracts but I haven't seen her around much at all for the past two years.  I saw her as one of the faces of Sephora and CK recently.

Ah i see...Well me, if i have to move somewhere in the US, i would like to move in the midwest (~New France), i enjoy the hot temps here in south of France, but i have this idea since long time in my head

San Francisco looks to be a really cool place too i have to say

No, not anymore i had one before, with Jessica Alba for years, and i started one woth Genevieve, but one day, like 2 years ago, i lost somewhere (probably in the street) my USB Flash Driver...and i never stated another one since

What about you ?

This is my Edward Razek Saga (1537 onward). :

http://www.bellazon.com/main/topic/27151-the-totally-spurious-victorias-secret-thread/page-79

This is 1575.  I have two more for this arc.

 

Rumor this.  Rumor that. duh dah duh, duh duh... duh. Derp Derp!

 

There was a time where one could get something decent on the radio. 

The artist has a duty to seduce the ear and delight the spirit, so say goodbye to those two blowhards

 

Say Hello to an evening with Edward Razek!

 

 

 

Ohhhh, I can smell the malt vinegar in this one. I've waited so long for something tasty to come to this little burg, but all that pass are yokels and rubes.

 

Smooth lobed uncreative s*** for brains betty boop!!!  

 

I haven't seen a sign of real life down here in years. Let's see if Romee's just another Jenny-come-lately, or maybe something more delicious.

For example, I test her, she's my little moth.   But for a reason. I test all my disciples.

 

Some shine like Galaxies, and some ... some burn like a Moth at the Flame!

 

So come now Romee, come into my home....!!!

 

 

Allow me to draw back the curtain Romee ...  

 

The door to becoming a Forever Victoria's Secret Angel is now open for you, my moth.

 

 

Do you see it? When I am dust, this is what they'll point to!

 

You! My masterpiece!  My work has been implanted into the collective memory of the Masses!  No one will ever forgot it!  No one!

Slaves of my Culture, Your Ass is mine!!!

Now dance, dance you F****** Angel!!!

 

 

No, no, no! Look at me, girl! 

 

 

Come back! Please come back!

 

 

It flutters its wings! Flutters its wings! Fly little Angel! Fly!!!

 

 

 

It ...is ...accomplished!!!  Let me see it!!!

 

 

 

Rose petals cradling every step

Eternal love of a grateful people

My god, My God, My god  my god my god oh my god

 

 

It's...It's beautiful...

Romee you'll find that your path to permanent Angeldom is now clear. 

Tell God that Eddy says Hello  *tears*

 

Yea, the temperatures are best when they lean towards long summers/spring but short winters/fall.  That's what I like.

Pretty much what you see in my links is what I have.  It's just everything I like and all my browsing activity uploaded.

As a Midwesterner, I wonder why you think it's like New France up here, jj3  .  I love France and have some French ancestry, so I like the comparison, of course.

Also, I totally agree with Cult that I enjoy the heat.  It's so cold here most of the year, that I welcome any warmth.  I love the heat.

 

Oh wow ! That's a lot 

 

Here are some goodies I found while making "Contents":  I was thinking of posting them in the Kate Upton thread.

She looks great at the department store (100%).

Your profile page has Nimue Smit, one of my top 10 favorite models.  Did you know that?  I would think that only someone like me would like her so much.

Of your favorite models, I stock these.  Candice, Eniko, Dioni, Candice boucher, Natasha Barnard, and Elsa probably the most.  If you're bored and when I get further progress in "contents", all it will take is Ctrl + F (first name) and you should be able to find what you're looking for:

Candice Swanepoel

Xenia Deli

Elsa Hosk

Kate Upton

Niamh Adkins

Natasha Barnard

Eniko Mihalik

Emily Didonato

Rachel Mortenson

Dioni Tabbers

Candice Boucher

Anna Christine Speckhart

Kate at this time, photo 2 and 3, looked perfect, even better than Candice...Good thing she's back in the modeling stuff now! Her hair are less lighter now though...she need to work out a bit and she will be perfect again

Thanks for Nimue Smit, i didin't know that actually i just picked up the gif through the net because i found it cool lol Nimue looks nice, she's like a mix between Eniko and Olivia Ross i find

Thanks for the trick, i will take a look  

And, do you have some favorite models ? I mean, what is you TOP5 for exemple ?

Ah i see...Well me, if i have to move somewhere in the US, i would like to move in the midwest (~New France), i enjoy the hot temps here in south of France, but i have this idea since long time in my head

About the heat, i got a huge heat over here too, we got 41°C once for like 3 days in a row, but since June, we're almost always above 30°C, but rain is forecasted for soon, so the temps will start to go down...and Fall will slowly happen.

In winter, it's not Xtreamly cold here, nothing to do with your blizzard When it's under 0°C we're frozzen lol but we have LOTS of wind who make at time the temps a bit cooler, really cooler actually.

About New-France and Midwestern, in the fact if you look to what we call Midwest here:

And if you look to what we we called New-France before here:

You immediately notice that the two territories are occupying the same area, at least for the northern part of the old New-France

So many time since school, when i hear something about Midwest, i immediately think to New-France...

Even right now, if you take a look to the name of the towns or geographic places, many have keeped the French names like...Détroit, Louisville, Montepellier and so many other exemples.

And of course, in Louisiana, it's EVEN more obvious But i think, Quebec is the real place from the french legacy in northern America.

And you told me you had French ancestry, and i find that quite logical, if your family is living there for some time
