A
cosmic style of eye
nd here we are. My final post. It's four years almost to the day of my first Style Of Eye post (telephones - July 30th, 2007). It's time to assess it all, and time to move on. It's been fun, but the time is right to release my gaze. But not before one last post. It makes perfect sense to select my favourite 24 Style Of Eye posts.


In the four years since I began blogging about my ocular aesthetics, about what fit my style of eye, what appealed visually to me, countless other similarly-themed blogs have surfaced, many of them can be found under the "blogspot" umbrella. My initial reason in doing Style Of Eye was to indulge an alter-ego, my inner aesthetic, and to have the opportunity to exhibit the kinds of man-made designs and natural curves, of light and shadow, line and form, that have interested and aroused me. But now I feel I've done my dash, I've exhibited all I can, and there are more than enough other similarly-styled blogs and sites on the Net.

As I was reviewing all the posts I've done I discovered to my surprise that I had repeated myself. My last post - the debate battle - was my second "porn stars" selection. I thought it was my first. I had completely forgotten I had already posted a selection. The time to move on has definitely arrived. I've made my selection of favourite selections, excluding the post my favourite things, because that one speaks for itself, and is the favourite of favourites, the penultimate Style Of Eye post.


I've provided links to the respective posts (click on the respective post title), and I've selected a favourite image from each to represent. Like I said, it's been fun and indulgent, but the inspiration and inclination to post regularly has waned over the past year or so, and I've found myself relying on the simple allure of models and celebrities for the last few posts. Raoul z. Duke's time as visual provocateur is up.

But just who is Raoul z. Duke exactly? Well, that would be telling now wouldn't it? A little mystery goes a long way. Let's just say that "All that we see or seem is but a dream within a dream" and leave it at that (wink wink, nudge, nudge)

Anna Ventura


This is the mischievous rascal señor Raoul z. Duke signing off. I hope my clarification of visual forms and their organization in integrated patterns as well as the attribution of such forms as an opinionated appreciation of visual aesthetics has been as much your cup of green tea as it has mine. Ciao bella!


If style is the music of swagger, schmooze eternally forward ...

Angel Lola Luv

July 7th 2011 00:50
Lola Luv
She was born as Fershgenet (meaning “fruit of heaven”) Melaku (meaning “angel”) to Trinidad and Ethiopian parnets, and was raised in Washington D.C.. She began writing poems and songs from the age of twelve. By the age of twenty she had adopted the name of Angel Lola Luv and was modelling, and appearing as a video vixen in hip-hop promo clips.

Angel Lola Luv
In 2009 she retired from the world of modelling, and under her new name of LoLa Monroe made the decision to concentrate on a music career in hip-hop and rap. Word on the street is that Ms. Monroe should return to the art of posing with her mouth shut, and let her bootiliciousness do the talking. Obviously she wants to be taken seriously as a rapper, but her real asset lies behind her.

Angel Lola Luv
At some point during her brief modelling career Angel invested in bumping up her booty stakes, and had plastic surgery enhancement on her butt cheeks, thus turning her already comfortably curvaceous body into something like a freakazoid. Breast enhancement is commonplace these days, but now some woman are phattening their derrieres, transforming themselves into superfreak versions gleaned from their African heritage. Angel Lola Luv became a black goddess of extreme measures; top heavy, and bottomed out!

With her angelic face and outrageously voluptuous figure Angel Fershgenet Melaku LoLa Luv Monroe is a sight to behold, especially when she’s wearing sweet fuck all. Would it be out of line to suggest that this fine specimen of woman, silicone enhancements and all, would be an absolute scene-stealer if she entered the adult industry? I’m sure there wouldn’t be too many objections.

Here she is then, from her glory modelling days, the one and only, Lola Luv:

If Ms. Lola ain't enough woman for ya, then I don't know what to say! Goodness gracias, that's the chocolate-covered fruit of heaven if ever I saw! Ebony divine indeed! I especially love the black and white pics, oh and that silhouette by the bathtub, yet there's a certain je ne sais quoi about the "Andrews Sisters" Vargas-style shot (Christina eat yer heart out!).

Salma Hayek

July 5th 2011 07:29
Salma Hayek
God created the all-natural (well, okay, so she’s had a nose-job) Latin Goddess Salma Hayek on September 2 1966 in the city of Coatzacoalcos, Veracruz, Mexico. She is half-Spanish, half Lebanese. “I thought I was a princess, I lived in a castle and my father was a king; I wore tiaras; I was born diva-ish.”

Salma Hayek
After taking a year to learn English and to study acting Salma got her first break in 1993 when director Allison Anders cast her in a supporting role in Mi Vida Loca. Robert Rodriguez caught sight of her, tracked her down and promptly cast her in Desperado, his big-budget 1995 remake-cum-sequel to El Mariachi. Rodriguez again demonstrated his faith in her when he cast her as the voluptuous vampire Santanico Pandemonium in his comedy-horror extravaganza From Dusk Till Dawn. Her appearance has become a cult classic movie performance.

"If I go on a diet and work out, I'm always in a bad mood. I'd rather be a little heavier but nice," confesses Salma. And don’t we just love her for it.

Salma Hayek
Salma has had an undulating film career, but she’s managed to stay afloat in the cut-throat celebrity field by frequently appearing throughout the fashion world in numerous magazine spreads. She has that rare figure that is both curvaceous, yet is never considered overweight. And in Hollywood overweight can be only a matter of a few pounds!

Salma Hayek’s inner and outer beauty is like a cross between Sophia Loren and Raquel Welch, the glorious hour-glass figure and gorgeous Latin looks with the piercing sultry all-woman bravura, no-bullshit attitude.

“In my world, you have to be so beautiful, so skinny, so rich, so famous and I don't believe you really have to be any of those things. You simply have to be who you are. I do have thighs and a butt. I have cellulite. Don't be too impressed with me. Don't try to dress like me or wear your hair like mine. Find your own style. Don't spend your savings trying to be someone else ..."

Here she is then, the one and only Latina bombshell herself:

I feel like a Campari and soda! Mmmm, there's a real sense of character that emerges from Salma's beauty. She is quite the chameleon. Where do I start? So many favourite images in this selection. In the black negligee on the bed, leaning on the fire hydrant, in fishnet stockings and a blue skirt, and as that bandito babe, hubba hubba, what a derriere!!

Pania Rose

July 5th 2011 06:29
Pania Rose
Australia's sexiest brown-eyed model, the statuesque (180cm) Pania Rose from Perth. She was discovered during the Western Australian section of a nationwide search for a new teen Covergirl model. Pania put her university studies on hold an embarked on a career as a fashion model. I'm not sure if she ever did return to her planned tertiary studies, but I'm sure she's gained a lot of world experience she'd have never found on campus.

Pania Rose
Primarily a swimsuit model, and boy does she wear those bikinis well. Like second skin really. She has graced the covers of Marie Claire and Spanish Vogue, as well as modeling work for Revlon and Victoria's Secret. She is fast becoming one of the most sought-after models from the Great Southern Land. Along with Nicole Trunfio, Pania Rose has raised the bar for the exotic European-esque beauty aesthetic of Australian models.

Her bronze complexion and large expressive eyes make her stand head and shoulders above most of her countrywomen. She is the classic Amazonian goddess, the Venus on the half shell, give her a gorgeous fish tail and she could quite easily play the mermaid siren of the sea. She is the quintessential summer babe down under, on top.

Here she is making mostly swimsuits look very alluring:

Okay, so she looks a little like Saffron Burrows, but those eyes, man, they just melt the mind, body and soul! My favourites here are the visage, the black stockings with the dark red backdrop, and, ahem, au naturale!

Rose McGowan

Rose McGowan
My favourite intellectual tart, Rose Arianna McGowan was born in Tuscany, Italy on the 5th of September, 1973 to a French mother and an Irish father. Now I see where she got the "party hard but still look great in the morning" attitude and look from. She emancipated (that word just oozes mischief) herself from her parents at 15, the free spirit that she is, and moved to the City of Angels to spread her lustrous wings, but not before doing serious modeling as a child for Italian magazines.

While loitering outside an L.A. gym she was discovered by a talent agency and following her revealing star role for indie maverick Gregg Araki in The Doom Generation (1995) her career began to zoom. With her alabaster skin and trademark ruby red lipstick, large expressive eyes, and hourglass figure, Rose makes a formidable presence on screen and in the numerous fashion spreads and art photography she also indulges in

Gael Garcia Bernal

Gael Garcia Bernal
Gael was born 30 November 1978, Guadalajara, Jalisco, Mexico. Hey, he’s a Saggi like me, no wonder he’s so good-looking. That mischievous gleam in his eye, that oh-so-playful smirk, that effortless swagger.

"I believe fervently in the nature, in truth and imagination, I believe in the blood, in life, words, and motivations," says Gael. His conviction and intensity, alongside his charisma and a kind of on-screen nonchalance, makes him a most compelling celebrity

Adriana Lima

Adriana Lima
Probably the most sensually beautiful woman ever to grace the catwalk, the pages of a beauty or fashion magazine, or the cyber-pages of a modeling website, Adriana Lima is style of eye perfection personified. Born in northern Brazil, on June 12, 1982, the 5'10'', steel-blue-eyed beauty is an eclectic mix of French, Portuguese, Native American, and Caribbean heritages; undoubtedly blessed with parents who swam deep and luxuriously in the exotic gene pool of creation.

Adriana grew up in a very small town, much like two of her Brazilian supermodel colleagues - Gisele Bundchen and Ana Beatriz Barros - only to become one of the new millennium's brightest, most in-demand fashion personalities. She was only 13 when an agent discovered her at the mall. At 15, she won the Ford Supermodel of Brazil contest and was placed second in the Ford Supermodel Of The World contest. Shortly after, speaking only broken English, she moved to New York City and signed a contract with Elite Model Management, aged just 16

Penthouse covers

October 21st 2010 04:20
Penthouse September 1981
It might sound a little unusual, but I received my most formative sexual education from within the pages of Penthouse magazine, Bob Guccione’s International Magazine for Men, which was founded in England in 1965, but came to prominence once it was launched in America in 1969. It went on to become the preeminent hardened softcore American sex magazine of the 70s, riding the crest between the creamy, coy softcore of Hugh Hefner’s Playboy magazine and the sleazy, over-lit, hardcore of Larry Flynt’s Hustler magazine.

Penthouse first American issue Sept 1969
The inaugural U.S. edition September 1969
Whereas Hefner was a journalist, Guccione was a photographer (and Flynt was an opportunist filthmonger). Hefner’s Playmate’s were frequently blonde and the pictorials often looked the same. Guccione’s Pets were often brunettes (mmmmm) and the pictorials were far more erotically adventurous. Playboy might have enjoyed a wider social limelight, especially with Hefner’s Playboy Mansion, but Penthouse possessed a more complex sense of mischief (Caligula being one such venture) and was altogether more alluring
