Hot Shots of the Week: Green with Envy
Looks like we went to the wrong Irish pub on St. Patrick’s Day. Our bartender was named Brian. He wasn’t exactly comparable to this absurdly hot eye candy in her lingerie serving up green beer like a champ. Dammit. We’ll need a lot of that shamrock brew to drown these sorrows.

There’s Something About a Girl in Glasses…
Look. We don’t talk nearly enough about the smoking hot, legtastic, babetastic, statuesque beauty Paula Prentiss. The 5’10” American actress has legs from here to eternity and an absolutely gorgeous face that makes us think she truly was one of the most beautiful people in the world during her prime. A little birdie just told … Continue reading There’s Something About a Girl in Glasses…
