2010 LAMINATED LIST # 3

I've read Vineland, and The Crying Of Lot 49, and I kinda want to read Thomas Pynchon's newest novel, Inherent Vice, if I can work my way through this Lem Phase™ I've been travelling lately. I probably won't read Inherent Vice, actually, and I'm 94% certain I'll never finish reading Gravity's Rainbow. I read maybe the first 150 pages about 20 years ago, when I was in the last half of a 2 year relationship with a girl who I couldn't equate with any of the several hundred characters strafing through this maze of a place and a time before me, beyond me.
Gravity's Rainbow mostly takes place at the end of WWII, and concerns Germany's V-2 rockets...Christina Hendricks is an eternal bombshell.

2009 Laminated List # 3

Christina Hendricks is stacked, and that's a fact...She's a brick house...She's mighty mighty...She makes old men wish for their younger days...In other words, Christina Hendricks is a Commodores song...

She's a throwback to a time when being voluptuous in Hollywood wasn't a crime, it was the norm...When actresses ate steak and didn't blast their cores at West Hollywood gyms...In an age before silicon and saline, if a woman had an ample bosom, you can bet she also had an ass and some hips to go with it, not to mention a soft belly...And isn't that they way it should be, rather than the norm today - starlets with 22 waists and C and D cups full of chemicals...Like bags on sticks...

I wonder if fashion had anything to do with the more voluptuous look of old Hollywood, if it was the cut of the dresses and the bulkier undergarments of the era...All I know is Christina Hendricks never looks more beautiful than when she's in character as Joan Holloway on Mad Men, a show set around 1960...If the show had actually been produced in 1960, I imagine someone like Ann Margaret playing Ms. Holloway...

Anyways, the Commodores-worthy body of Christina Hendricks is one thing, and the other is her face, so pure and delicate...She really is quite lovely, like an Ivory Soap commercial.

Almost Laminated 2008!

Rosario Dawson was #5 on last year's Laminated List, and here she is at #6 in 2008...My only real exposure to her in the past year was seeing Clerks 2 via Netflix, which may explain why she slipped a spot...A cool, sexy, gorgeous woman...Nuff said...

Christina Hendricks stars in the AMC ensemble show, Mad Men, and previously she had a recurring role in the doomed sci-fi show, Firefly...She's an insanely curvy redhead that I didn't think existed anymore, in Hollywood, or anywhere...And her face...An angel...Yeah, as far as my yearly Laminated Lists are concerned, the only place for her to go is UP...For now, here she is at #7...

I have never seen a single second of Gossip Girl on the CW, and I probably never will...Nor have I seen The Sisterhood Of The Travelling Pants...Again, I probably never will...I am very aware of Blake Lively, however, and while I definitely lean towards brunettes and redheads, there's something about this blonde starlet that captivates me...I think it's the slightest of overbites, the beauty mark under her right eye (mysteriously missing from this photo), and those slightly squinty eyes themselves...Quite lovely, almost "handsome", and this year she's #8 on my laminated list...

Lily Allen is so damn cute...Adorable...She's spicy and saucy...She's a cheeky monkey, right? And as far as big pop stars go, especially those who found fame via the internet, she's got some catchy tunes...And she's so damn cute at #9 on this year's extended, almost-laminated list...

Anna Friel was a pretty popular actress in the UK, who first came to the public eye in America, and thus MY eyes, when Pushing Daisies premiered on ABC last year...Like Lily Allen, she's an adorable British lass, and wouldn't you know, her character on the show is kinda cheeky in her own right...Definitely spunky...Totally cute and absolutely #10 in this year's list of soft misogyny...But seriously, isn't this an honest celebration of the feminine? Hm...
