Personally Selected Venus 1: From Penthouse UK Volume 14 No 7





Putting together the centrefold, non-centrefold and Pubic Wars posts for this blog takes ages.  As the Legatus has been travelling a lot of late and is generally very busy with work we have not been able to post as much as we would like.  Our particular friend B, from Germany, was berating us via e-mail only yesterday.

So, to rectify this situation somewhat, we are going to post the occasional personally selected one-off picture.  These will be images we happen upon, perhaps when looking for material for the longer posts, which just happen to take our fancy.  There will be no rhyme, reason or theme to these pictures: they are just ones we like.  Maybe, as in the case with this picture, the other images in the book or pictorial are not as strong.  Maybe, it is just a one off image anyway.  Some of them will be illustrations rather than photographs.  There may even be some celebrities!  Whatever, the idea is that we resist the temptation to research the model/artist/photographer and just present the image itself.  We have seen many fine blogs which just present images and while we do these blogs partly to keep our writing skills honed sometimes a strong image is enough.

Here, anyway, is an unknown young lady from the UK edition of Penthouse, Volume 14 No 7 (October 1979) which we found while researching our next Pubic Wars episode which covers that year.  The photograph is by Bryan Wharton.  Less writing for the next one, we promise!

Venus with Pasta 2: Eva Herzigova



Triple P has been away for the best part of a month so realises that he has to catch up on his posting.  Here, then, is another in our Venus with Pasta series.  This is our favourite shot of our favourite nineties supermodel, Eva Herzigova.  Shot by Bruce Weber in Florida for the 1998 Pirelli Calendar, we wonder how many times Eva had to taste the spaghetti to get the shot just right. 

Perfectly al dente!

We need more Eva we think!
