The Dutchess With The Sexiest Lips

Dec 28B
A survey carried out by a British company of products to protect and embellish women's lips, had published their final report with 2 lists: The most beautiful and the ugliest feminine lips. - You would have thought they could have been a bit more charitable, or diplomatic, as not to use the term 'the ugliest' surely? The winners were judged and chosen amongst 3,000 women.

The British actress, Keira Knightley, tops the list of having the most beautiful and sexiest lips, pushing Angelina Jolie to the 2nd place, followed by the Australian singer Kylie Minogue; her open and broad smile seemed to have won over Scarlett Johansson's somewhat timid one, placing her in the 4th place.

I am rather glad about this; hopefully less women would now seek surgery to acquire Jolie's ultra thick and protruding lips, more goldfish like than sexy in my personal opinion. As actress she is okay, but never her lips!! But many other women obviously like it judging by the sudden appearances of so many thick lips around, especially on the screen, after Jolie first acquired her fame. Almost more for her unusually fleshy lips than for her artistic merit. Wonder what men think about that?

Keira Knightley's recognised beauty title came exactly the most opportune time, to further promote her then new film, 'The Duchess' worldwide première. A historic version of modern day Lady Di at the end of the 18th century, famous for her beauty, charm, extravagant tastes in luxury, and her appetite for sex and games.

I will not list the winners of the 2nd list as I prefer to be a little more discreet, and discrete, than the cosmetic firm, the organizers, judges and publicity team. Except to just name a very curious result - Victoria Beckham was in 5th place on both lists - the most beautiful and the ugliest !!! Now, You figure that out; if you really think such survey, and many others, actually represent true facts, figures or value in any way.

The Book That Never Existed

Dec 28A
One of the scenes in the popular TV programme 'Sex in New York City' showed Carrie Bradshaw (Sarah Jessica Parker) read to Big (Christ North) fragments of love letters, extracts of a book, 'Love Letters Of Great Men', to demonstrate that great men in the history (Napoleon, Beethoven, Lord Byron ...) were capable of expressing their love sentiments without reserve or shame.

Immediately after the showing of that episode, the book-stores received thousands of orders for this book ... which didn't exist. The web-sites of publishers and searchers too were inundated with requests to help find it. There were a few books with more or less the same title, but people wanted 'that one', the same one appeared in the film, a small detail that editors didn't know how to play with, one they did have catalogued, the work collected in 1920 by C.H. Charles, titled: ' Love letters of great men and women - from the 18th century to the present day'.

In the history of literature, there had been a lot of imaginary books - neither Borges nor Lovecraft were the first to play with fictitious books - but this might be the first case where a fictional character was the editor of a book in which appeared letters that the film had referred to, written by great men, but not precisely great letters.

Why the very modern lady in the film cited love letters anyway? Even in 1920, C.H.Charles said that the youngsters of new motos, chewing gum and cinema, were too busy to write love letters (in 1920? I thought young people in that era lived to write them!). And somebody else said: "Love is no more than a game of fancy and vanity" Beethoven took it very seriously though. In his letter to his beloved, Antoine Brentano (?), he ended the letter writing:
'Eternally yours, Eternally mine, Eternally ours.'

Hollywood being Hollywood, I wouldn't be at all surprised that they have already had the thinking cap on and seeing the cash-machine turning, commissioning some screen writer to turn out such a volume of love letters, allegedly written by some great men. Not often there's millions of readers waiting to buy a book not yet written. After all, business is business.
