Random Image Dump #33

We’re back in the random groove for the thirty-third time! That “Zoom Movie Camera” will come in handy with this model around. Special effects legend Rob Bottin and The Thing.

May Queen

In the British Isles and parts of the Commonwealth, “the May Queen” is a personification of the May Day holiday of May 1st, and of the rebirth and renewal of springtime and the coming growing season. So, what does that have to do with the image above of a scorching hot woman in a slinky, form-fitting dress? Nothing, … Continue reading May Queen →

To Michelle on Her 67th Birthday

Hot Shots of the Week: Daniela Melchior

Portuguese bombshell Daniela Melchior played Ratcatcher 2 in The Suicide Squad (2021). Along with Margot Robbie as Harley Quinn, Melchior was our favorite part of that Tim Gunn joint. Her performance was wonderfully weird and funny, yet also tender and heartfelt. Plus, she’s drop-dead gorgeous, so it’s understandable why a bunch of rats—or any sentient … Continue reading Hot Shots of the Week: Daniela Melchior →
