Catching Up On Some Reading: British GQ February 2011 - V. Sexy

Didn't have a chance to post these when they were first out - and sadly, missed the issue at the Import section of our local newsstand - but in case you'd miss it as well, the February 2011 issue of GQ UK featured their annual tribute to the ladies of Victoria's Secret. Left-to-right above: Candice Swanepoel, Lindsay Ellingson, Lily Aldridge and Erin Heatherton



Here's the hoping it eventually shows up in the U.S. edition







Original photography by Vincent Peters, lingerie by.. well, who else?

Minka Kelly Is GQ's Valentine

Another publication's Sexiest Woman Alive, the beautiful Ms.Kelly graces the pages of the February 2011 GQ Magazine just in time for Valentines Day, and to remind everyone she's co-starring with Leighton Meester in a new movie, The Roommate (she also puts in a appearance in Just Go With It) Nice reminder that worked rather well.





Original photos (as if you couldn't tell by just looking) by Ellen von Unwerth, article by Devin Gordon. Lingerie: Red bra and pink panties by Calvin Klein Underwear, white bra by Dolce & Gabbana, garters and stockings by Agent Provocateur.

Follow Ms. Minka on twitter and her Facebook page

Take Glee In Lingerie

Or, should that read, 'Take Glee, in Lingerie'? U.S. GQ's November 2010 issue devotes a page or two, and more than a Terry Richardson photograph or two to what they call Glee Gone Wild, as in actress Lea Michele above and below



This set: Vintage T-shirt from Melet Mercantile. Bra, Pout by Victoria's Secret. Panties by Calvin Klein Underwear and Socks by American Apparel.

Socks by Falke, and Cory Monteith's clothes by.. someone or other.. (hey, we're concerned with the ladies' lingerie here, OK? He should just be happy he got to be at this particular photo shoot..)

In retropsect, It seems the cast's earlier Rolling Stone cover was just a tease of things to come (or, at least Ms. Michele's rigged panty flash was).



Hey, speaking of rip-offs, wonder where GQ got their headline?

****

So, that's pretty much the post I wrote earlier this week for today. Since then, it seems some have taken notice of the GQ article, or more likely, Mr. Richardson's photographs of the cast (and poor Mr. Monteith may as well have been a hat rack as we - jokingly - treated him above for all the notice anyone is taking of his presence next to Ms. Agron and Michele). First, The Parent's Television Council had a hissy, but so did some parents of younger Glee fans.

Before all this, I hadn't really expected anyone to say all that much beside, 'Hot!' ..and maybe way too much makeup.
Dianna Agron and Lea Michele are both 24 years old, and Cory Monteith is 28 (hell, he's a bit older than me and he's playing a high school student? Meh, welcome to TV. Remind you of anyone else older who did the same not long ago?). And, have any of the critics, including the parents of those very young fans actually watched the show with those children? I wouldn't say those are all Disney-G-rated stories, nor did they ever pretend they were. TV Guide reported Dianna Agron's take on it from her blog:

'I understand that in today's world of advanced technology, the internet, our kids can be subject to very adult material at the click of a button,' she wrote. 'But there are parental locks, and ways to get around this.'

'If you are hurt or these photos make you uncomfortable, it was never our intention. And if your eight-year-old has a copy of our GQ cover in hand, again I am sorry. But I would have to ask, how on earth did it get there?'

What's your take? Comment away below..

Amazing: Heidi Klum's Back (So's Her Front) In Germany's GQ

A week for VSMs (Very Sexy Moms), apparently. Gisle Bundchen returned to the lingerie catwalk, and Heidi Klum graces the July-August 2010 issue of GQ Germany.



Read the interview with Ms. Klum here, and do let me know what it says, since I don't speak German. I'm guessing it's something along the lines of 'please don't hate me because I can get back into shape like this after yet another baby'?





Also let me know the maker of the lingerie from the Michel Comte
photo spread so I can properly credit them, if you get the chance.

Wordless Wednesday: Anne Hathaway, In Lingerie, In British GQ

Catching Up On Reading: Miranda Kerr - June 2010 GQ

Australia's Miranda Kerr returns to the scene of the crime.. OK, to GQ Magazine, which probably cost some poor guy his job the last time she undressed for them.



For the record, Ms. Kerr mentions she 'just felt sorry for the poor guy.'



Hopefully he's able to enjoy the new photos in the June 2010 issue (her lovely air-cooled bra and panties by Vicky's, of course) and photos by Inez van Lamsweerde and Vinoodh Matadin.

By the by, if you'd like a little spree at a NYC Victoria's Secret with Ms. Kerr as your personal shopper(!) you have until noon, Monday to sign up for your chance here.

One nit to pick: check the cover blurb: Newest? GQ, of all people she realize she's been at Supermodel status for awhile, now.

More on Miranda Kerr - February 2010 GQ

The question is: Does Miranda Kerr wear panties or doesn't she?



The simple answer is, yes, yes she does, very often and very well for Victoria's Secret. But if you saw our post for this past Wordless Wednesday and the actual dead-trees edition of the February GQ - or even the slide show at their website, you may notice they've gone missing from the above (original) edition of the above Alexi Lubomirski photo. You've heard of liquid panty remover? Welcome to the digital version.



Hey! It's not a nude picture- she's really wearing a white creme color Vicky's thong; you just can't see it.

Also of note, thanks to The Sidney Morning Herald, There's some debate about Ms. Kerr's latest photos being work-place safe - or not.





A representative of Macquarie Bank was being interviewed on Australia's Seven Network from the bank's office, and apparently many viewers took note of one bank employee's use of company computers and time. You can decide if that goes beyond simple interest or not..

Leighton Meester: December 2009 GQ

Ms. Meester seems to upping the lingerie layout stakes against fellow Gossip Girl cast member Blake Lively in her feature in the December 2009 GQ Magazine. Unzipping leather, anyone?



Interestingly, both photo shoots are by Mark Abrahams.



Just a thought; isn't it about time for GG's blogger/narrator Kristen Bell to pose for a fresh set of photos? Paging Mr. Abrahams..

Wordless Wednesday: January Jones, November 2009 GQ
