My Ode to Beauty


Does anyone know who this model is?


====
This AD popped up on my news feed.  I find this girl almost painfully sexy:

Well, she'll have to be satisfied with that.

Here's a composite of several models who have been featured in the sorts of ads that I mention.

I must admit that these ladies have wonderful figures.  But what I find irresistible in these particular models are their faces.
The leftmost model has an interesting face that seems to challenge you.  I find her face very attractive.
The second from the left is one of my favorites.  You can never tell what sort of person a model is, obviously; their very occupation suggests that they are difficult to spend a great deal of time with, for anyone who isn't a model herself.  Still, I like to imagine that this girl is a gentle, approachable soul, with a sense of humor.
The third (and fourth) from the left has a fascinating face, very intense, and a little self-conscious. I love the way she stands; I just love every aspect of her, except, of course, the extreme thinness.
The last two images on the right, again, are two images of one girl, a dreamy-eyed beauty.  I love dreamy-eyed women.

I'm a very private person, and almost everything I want anyone to know about me comes out in the stories. So obviously, I like compassionate, beautiful, talented women, and I like music, I like ballet, I like tennis, ... if you want more details, read the books. Helen is, at one and the same time, who I want to be, and who I would love to be in love with. Actually, most characters in the Helen stories are, in some sense, aspects of me. That's a humbling thought, because some of them are a lot less attractive than I would like to be thought of as. I have posted on the blog lots of photographs of women I find particularly attractive, which I do with some worry, because I don't want to endorse any particular style of beauty. But some of these models are just too gorgeous to keep to myself, and that's why I'm impelled to make this shrine to beauty. I'm going to move the pictures out to this page, and remove them from the Helen blog, and the Kay Hemlock Brown blog.

OMG, how cute!

These insanely girly dresses keep popping up on my Facebook feed!

Regardless of whether I can wear such a dress and look good in it, I don't know whether I have the style to pull it off, seriously.  It would attract the attention of dozens of people whose attention would be nice to attract, but countless others from whom I would like to stay far away.  So I stick to long skirts and high-collared shirts.  Incidentally, the words "shirt" and "skirt" have the same origin, from what I read.

Okay.  This situation is totally getting out of hand.  The price I'm paying for clicking on that ad on facebook is that I see nothing but swimsuit ads everywhere I go.  If you can't beat 'em, join 'em.  Here are some of the cutest outfits I have encountered.
This is one of my favorites, though I probably don't have the legs for it.  And I love this model; she has a lovely smile!

Another pretty dress, but an even prettier model.  Can you tell I like long hair?  Streaky, medium-brown, sunbleached is my favorite, I think.

It's the same model, looking like a teenager, which is probably what she is.  I love the sandals, but she seems just a little too thin for my tastes.

I think this young lady looks lovely, but I don't know whether I approve of the style of the bodice.  I know it's now a mainstream design, but ...


Our model doesn't look quite as startlingly thin here.  I love the rear view very much, especially her grave expression when seen from the rear.

I think this is the same person, modelling a really pretty swimsuit.

Another really pretty swimsuit, with a rather cylindrical model.


This young lady looks spectacular from in front, and I also love her face.  Again, a little too thin for my unqualified approval.

And finally, a lovely model, pretty from both angles, and a fabulous suit.

Two more; these dresses really looks like something I would wear.  It appears to be a really light fabric, but I wonder whether you could wear it more than once, just because they dressy enough for an afternoon out, and you know how that goes.


This model is sweet, though those platforms are scary.  Another lovely dress from that island beauty I love so much.  I might wear a dress like that, if I could afford it ...




That's quite enough of that.

One of my favorite models for several years is Ali Sonoma.  I find her very attractive, her voice, her expression, her athleticism, and I think her manner is utterly charming!  You have to imagine the details of how I would like to interact with her, but regrettably, it appears that she is married to some lucky guy.  Here are a few photographs of her.


I just love her smile, especially in the leftmost image!  All I know about her is that she is a body-sculptor, and gives advice on body-shaping, and nutrition, and other figure-related matters, and has just the sort of voice you would associate with her, based on her appearance.  In fact, I had a student a few years ago, whose speech was uncannily similar to that of Ali S.  I particularly like that she has tiny breasts, though I have a horrible feeling that she has undergone surgery since these photos were taken, even if it has been done really well.

Added later:

Can anyone identify this beautiful woman?  I would normally consider any catalog model less than attractive on the whole, but something in the expression on the face of this woman tugs at me!  Can it be that, after so many years, I'm beginning to find the commercial standard of beauty attractive?  I suppose the answer is yes, because of all the advertisements I lust over :(

I just made an amazing discovery.  It appears that the model about whom I have been obsessing is the Australian Renee Somerfield.  It also appears that due to some politics having to do with perceived criticism of overweight body types, Ms. Somerfield has fallen into disfavor with the politically correct police.

I was considering making some remarks about Renee Somerfield's figure which might have been viewed as harsh by these very people who have criticized her various advertising campaigns.  I was about to say that I usually prefer a build that is less classically voluptuous than that of Renee Somerfeld.  What I love most about this particular model is her face, and her expression, which is usually so cheerful, in contrast to the serious expressions worn by most models.  I'm going to try and post a couple of smiling photos of her.
