Erika Christensen, whose movie credits include Traffic and How To Rob a Bank, is a regular cast member of the NBC series "Parenthood." She plays Julia Braverman-Graham, a lawyer whose husband stays at home and takes care of their little girl.Julia is an ardent feminist who shudders at the mere appreciation of feminine physical beauty. In one episode, she gets upset when her daughter wants to dress...

Like Jessica Lange, Susan Blakely started out as a high-profile fashion model. Like Jessica Lange, she invited skepticism when she made the transition from modeling to acting, only to have the last laugh when it turned out that she could act. And like Jessica Lange, she played troubled actress Frances Farmer.I'm not kidding! While Ms. Lange is known for playing Farmer in the theatrical release Frances,...

Once again, Kim Alexis . . . the one and only!You were wondering when I was going to use that phrase, weren't you? :-D My earlier assertion that Kim Alexis is someone women have wanted to emulate and men have wanted to accompany was certainly true in my household, as evidenced by my sister's and my use of the family VCR. My sister bought Ms. Alexis's exercise video. I learned one day that Ms. Alexis...

Kim Alexis has changed over the years, but at no expense to her beauty. Below is a photo of our heroine from 1980, fresh-faced and girlish, a mere twenty years old. And here's a much more recent picture (from 2010) of a more mature Kim Alexis at fifty - with short hair! She looks different. Not worse, only different. :-)Of course, for those of you prefer a more recent picture of this supermodel legend...

Some skeptics might look at the pictures of Kim Alexis that I've posted so far and scoff at her glamorous veneer - and might think that she's not so gorgeous when she's not wearing makeup or fancy clothes.Yeah, right.Here's Kim Alexis without makeup and wearing a plain sleeveless top, as photographed by Francesco Scavullo.It's Kim Alexis at her most beautiful. :-)So you see, there is such a thing...

For all of her association with swimsuit issues of Sports Illustrated, Kim Alexis has been first and foremost a model of high fashion and beauty products. It was her poses in ad campaigns for Chantilly perfume (from which the photo below is taken) and Ultima II cosmetics, along with appearances on more than five hundred magazine covers, that made her one of the most popular and most ubiquitous models...

Like many high school boys, I was fascinated by Sports Illustrated's annual swimsuit issue. And like with my peers in the 1980s, Kim Alexis was a favorite recurring subject of mine. I think the first picture of her that I ever saw, in fact, was from Sports Illustrated. I definitely remember the first adjective I thought of to describe her: "sexy." :-D Of course, it now seems inappropriate to me, as...

Kim Alexis has always looked alluring and soft in haute couture photographs like in the two pictures below. But she's hardly the delicate flower she appears to be here. Kim Alexis is known for her lifelong interest in and commitment to athletics, having been into sports since she was a little girl.She's run in eight marathons and competed in three triathalons, and, growing up outside Buffalo, New...

For the next week, I'm posting pictures of a legendary high-profile fashion model that I have never gotten around to featuring before. In her case, it's a long overdue tribute. Mention the name of Kim Alexis to men of a certain generation - namely, mine - and you'll immediately induce dreamy sighs, weak knees, soft smiles, and sweet memories of adolescence. Yes, there are many models from the eighties...

I have now posted pictures of 441 different women, counting the two unidentified models I have featured (who are most likely not Laurel Lee or Sara Kapp). So, having stopped briefly on this stretch of the Internet superhighway, we'll be on our way to the next A-Z round of beautiful women. Can you dig it? :-)...

How large does Wanakee Pugh (pictured immediately below, circa 1984, and also here in two more recent photos) loom in the world of fashion modeling?Well, consider this . . ..Although she's long since retired from the business to pursue a career as an artist, she remains an icon and an inspiration to those who would pursue a career in or take an interest in her former line of work. And of course, she...

I wanted to revisit actress Andie MacDowell because the pictures of her that I originally posted here in 2008 weren't so great; they were good, but not great. I think these are much better photographs of the native South Carolinian model-turned-actress. :-) Since 2008, Andie MacDowell has remained active in movies, having appeared in The Six Wives of Henry Lefay (2009) and the Canadian drama Daydream...

I've shown photos of model Laurel Lee before on this blog, but this is the first one in color that I've ever featured! :-) Such photos of Ms. Lee are hard to come by. This is from a 1980 ad for Charles of the Ritz, a cosmetics brand that has since gone out of business.The picture doesn't show her long, lustrous hair so much, but it does accentuate her eyes quite nicely. :-)...

It makes sense that I revisit a post from last year involving a slogan with the word "yesteryear" in it. Back in November, I posted ten Napier jewelry ads featuring the alluring, demure model Sheila Johnson. Eight of them were in color, two of them were in black and white. One of the black-and-white photos bore the tagline "Napier Is Yesteryear." Here, available to me for the first time, is the color...
