Alessandra Ambrosio: Happy Belated Birthday

Ms. Ambrosio celebrated last week in Miami, in an event woefully lacking in coverage in the popular press. Tons of he said/she said about the U.S. election, but not much important. No excuse for fufL to miss it, so hopefully the above photo in some small way makes up for it. And, really, I know she's eating for two these days, but a life-sized cake in the shape of a piano? Either that, or they just frosted the strings and keys.



Happy Birthday, Ale!

Since I recently had a comment and question on a previous post in this series of photos of Gemma Atkinson, why not another? I believe (correct me if I'm wrong) they're by photographer Alan Strutt for La Senza.

Mel B. For Ultimo: Far More Sexy Than Scary

Ultimo, the U.K. lingerie brand who've given us many wonderful views of Gemma Atkinson and Sarah Harding in their undies have a new line that they describe as

'the Ultimo SS08 collection which has been inspired by the glamour and vintage Art Deco charm of Miami Beach. Luxurious satin in mouth watering, juicy colours is paired with sleek leopard print embroidery along-side graphic embroidered collections delicately stitched in summer brights.'

London's Daily Star
quotes Ms. Brown as saying

'After taking part in Dancing With The Stars in the US and the Spice Girls World Tour I have never been in better shape, so I jumped at the chance.'

We'll thank Mel B. and Ultimo of course, but this just adds to the list of reasons we really have to drop a note thanks to the Dancing With The Stars producers..

Adriana Lima: The Gold (Bra & Panty) Standard

Ms. Lima, in what looks to be Rose Gold bra and panties set, actually, and the only context in which you'll ever see her name next to the term 'standard'.

BTW: Blogger In Draft Update: This is the post I mentioned last week as my test case for the Auto-publishing feature in Beta. This time, I got it to work. It does tend to work better if, after you set the date and time you want it to auto-publish you hit 'Publish' as opposed to 'Save'. You then get a confirmation message that it will publish as such-and-such a time. No message, you've probably done it wrong as I did the other day, or it didn't take.

And, you have to admit, this photo of Ms. Lima was worth waiting for.

Wouldn't you like a great reason not to get out of bed this morning?
