faces III

October 28th 2008 01:45

I’m not gonna beat around the bush (although it is a favourite naughty pastime of mine), I’m a sucker for a pretty face. My lover’s visage is as beautiful as the Mediterranean sun that beats down upon my brow and glistens on her warm lagoon-wet skin, but I’ve already posted a pic of her, so I’m going to indulge in other women today.


Yes, no men allowed. As handsome as so many are, this post in the faces series is strictly for the ladies, the women, the feminine contours of the female face. The high cheekbones, the luscious lips, the alluring eyes, the sleek arch of the eyebrow, the smooth aquiline nose, the subtle curvature of the ear, the sumptuous nape of the neck; all these attribute to the beauty that is the face of a beautiful woman.

Vogue model
Here I have chosen singers, actors and models. Some are barely out of their teens, while others may be by now fully entrenched in middle age, but have grown old the grace of a rose. I’ve used a pic from their prime.

Some images have been heavily treated, but still capture the essence of the woman’s facial allure. So here they are in all their (mostly) symmetrical glory.


Meisa Kuroki

Isabelle Adjani

Morian Atias

Carmen Electra

Cassie

Angelina Jolie

Christina Milian

Christina Ricci


Elisha Cuthbert

Hillary Duff

Kate Beckinsale

Katie Melua

Madonna

Megan Fox

Miranda Kerr

Monica Bellucci

Monica Vitti

Nicole Scherzinger

Ingrid Pitt

Rihanna

Tanni

The Veronicas



Not too shabby were they? Favourites would be Kate Beckinsale's cum hither sideways glance, Rihanna and Cassie's exotic, mesmerizing eyes, Monica Bellucci and Isabelle Adjani's timelessness ... and although I don't normally go for blondes, Elisha Cuthbert's soft features are quite sensational. I suppose I'll need to do a men's gallery when I come back to the faces series, to keep the ladies happy.

Beautiful collection and lovely to see that our very own Miranda and The Veronica's got a look in too.

Although I think she has been made very 'Hollywood" I do think Kate Beckinsale is a spectacular looking woman. It's hard to reconcile the sex bomb Kate with the fresh-faced Kate from Shooting Fish.

Cheryl, thank you!
Yes, I have a deep-rooted crush on Mrs (sigh) Beckinsale. Of course, the younger version had no effect on me. I remember seeing her in Much Ado About Nothing and I barely bated an eyelid ... then I saw her in Laurel Canyon, all those years later and my Levis 505s popped a button! Ahem! As for her latex outfit in Underworld, mmmmmmmm (shame about the movies) .Yes, she has blossomed into a most spectacular looking woman indeed, apparently she doesn't rate herself as especially stunning ... go figure.

Totally not fair as I never did actually blossom, I think I 'weeded'

I think she is stunner. she was always pretty but is now a fully fledged siren of the old school order.

Cheryl ..."weeded" ... Don't be so harsh on yourself, perhaps you just need a new fertilizer? LOL (sorry, couldn't resist that one)

Yes, certainly a siren of the old school order indeed, think Hayworth and Turner. I actually love her acting style too.

New fertiliser ha! Love it!

Although I have to say I couldn't even rate near one of these beauties I think I found myself far more attractive when I hit my thirties and up than I ever was in my twenties. I think your face becomes more defined and the little lines that so many of the photographers are always airbrushing out actually give a face character and depth.

But then again it might just be that the older I get the more comfortable I am in my own skin and I'm not so critical of myself. Hitting forty for me was a delicious moment that I reveled in. I don't know why so many people worry about it. I can, with hair and makeup done, hold my own relatively well

Well, going by your avatar, I'd say you scrub up rather nicely, if you don't mind me saying ... and I'd agree with you that many people became better looking as they mature. Johnny Depp for example, very pretty as a young man, but as he entered his 30s he became incredibly handsome ... I'd like to think that I've became a much more attractive man as I approach the big four-oh (next month, in fact), than I was when I was in my 20s (although I often feel I'm still in my 20s ...lol)
