Cover Gurls

Many readers of this blog know that I also write The Cover Gurlz blog.

In this band-yet-to-be, "cover girls" should be as attractive as models. Members will play and sing cover songs previously made famous by female artists and groups... And they'll be boys, under-cover as gurlz.

With more than four years of posts on that blog, I've been thinking about a project for this fantasy band.

While it would be be great if some of the musicians I've identified could get together and record some songs or play some gigs, that's probably not very realistic.

However, maybe some of the gurls could record vocal, guitar, keyboard, drum, and/or bass tracks to the same song. Make some video too -- perhaps everybody in the band could wear a little black dress. Then, just maybe, a technical whiz on the internet could weave these recordings together. It would involve putting together both some audio and video tracks.

Fantasy? Who could help?

I've sent tweets to keyboardist Jessy Fanto, singer Courtney Act and singer JohnnyBoyXO is hopes that they'll each shoot a video of "We Got the Beat" by the Go-Gos. It would probably be best if Jessy recorded separate keyboard and vocal tracks as one of the other gurls may be singing lead.

For guitar, how about Myra? Or Sometimes Jessica?

These gurls are all based in the US. Courtney Act is from down under, but is currently in LA.

Unfortunately, I have not yet identified a US-based drummer. Help! Meanwhile, perhaps Lilith LaCroix or Luisa could play.

As for bass...I am at a loss.

Style mavens separated at birth?

Saskia Cyanide does not always look like Lily Cole, but there is a resemblance in some photos. Plus, I think they share a sense of style.



Compare this photo of Lily to this one of Saskia.

Or this one to that one.

Shopping season

A windy day..., a photo by Jasmine Stella 1 on Flickr.

Well, it is December and for many people that means Christmas shopping at the busiest time of the year. Jasmine Stella appears to be ready for a fun day of shopping -- she went for smart boots over flashy heels!

Whew

Damn, the long weekend is over.

I really don't want to go back to work tomorrow.

We had a nice time though, right?

Holiday approaching

Mom, I'm bringing a new gurl home for Thanksgiving. Please don't ask her to help with the cooking.

34-26-35?

I find it impossible to go more than a couple of weeks without looking for new pictures of Andrej Pejic. This photo from a 2010 collection is fantastic, right?

Though that well-known Pejic website says young Andrej has a 30" waist (and enviable 36-30-33 measurements), recent news reports suggest a different person.

Would you believe a 25" waist and 35" hips?

This Canadian newspaper reported that Pejic has "the same measurements as Naomi Campbell (34-26-35) and the same porcelain skin and arresting features as Kate Moss."

“I work at it,” he says. “You can’t maintain a 26-inch waist eating chocolate cake every day.”

That story (and others) also reported several other bits of gossip.

Pejic met the queen wearing a skirt, enjoys reading Trotsky -- and dreams of posing in Playboy.

I'm at a loss for words.

So here are at least 1000 words from the 2011 collection:

Model behavior

New gallery for your pleasure.

I could use some additional pics and welcome your suggestions.

You betcha

Laurie lives in Alaska and I think she's a snappier dressier than you-know-who from Wasilla. Check out her photos on Flickr.

Rocker chic?

Many readers might know that I write the Cover Gurlz blog, which is about musically talented gurlz.

In this band-yet-to-be, "cover girls" should be as attractive as models. Members will play and sing cover songs previously made famous by female artists and groups... And they'll be boys, under-cover as gurlz.

I don't know if Astrid Sabrina plays that guitar, but her videos are filled with music.

Even if she's merely a groupie, I like this look.

'I look like a p**n star..."

Zephyr titled this video "Stop staring at my boobs..." Wait a couple of minutes (or fast forward) and you'll know why. The title of this post is a line from the video.



The look is amazing, if somewhat trampy, and I'd be eager to see additional feminine looks from this young artist -- head-to-toe, if possible. How about a Natalie Portman set -- from Black Swan to something more mundane?

All I can do is ask.

LBD for Fall

Erica Scott is a Boston beauty, modeling a little black dress. She's got a set of photos in this dress.

She also has a youtube channel.

Summer party

GirlyAndie looks like she's having a very nice time. I hope all you readers are also enjoying a wonderful summer -- at least in the northern hemisphere.

Warm weather wear.

It has been very warm where I live, so I'm dreaming of fall fashion.

Ah, youth

Risky

Maybe you already know Philly gurl Risquevania, who has her own webpage and youtube channel. If not, check her out.

I noticed a couple of interesting bits of information on her profile page. She reports "perfect eyesight," but wears glasses in virtually every photo and video.

Also, she likes Texas Hold'em. When I watch poker on television, there are rarely any women playing late in the tournaments. Female players are often featured in those setup games against amateurs or small groups of pros that are selected, presumably, for their audience appeal.

Wouldn't it be great if someone made a movie about a gurl who made it to the final table of a major poker tournament? Maybe Risky could star -- though she'd probably want to wear something sexy that doesn't scream "costume."

Risky's fans could also stake her in a real tournament. The World Series is costly, but wouldn't that be fun?!

The cougar next door.

Head-to-toe

Just some spring dreaming. Wouldn't it be terrific to wear this look to that next dinner party?

Andrej Pejic, again

OK, so virtually every time I try to surf around for gurls to highlight on this blog -- I end up looking for new pics of Andrej Pejic.

Readers, can you help me out with some good links featuring other gurls?

Story time

With the band (groupies?), a gallery on Flickr.

As many of you know, I also blog at The Cover Gurlz, which is a site dedicated to singers and other musicians. From the top of the blog:

In this band-yet-to-be, "cover girls" should be as attractive as models. Members will play and sing cover songs previously made famous by female artists and groups... And they'll be boys, under-cover as gurlz.

. The gallery I'm linking today is about the groupies eager to meet some rock-and-rollers.

Maybe they are not interested in The Cover Gurlz, but some rock band will strike their fancy.

And they can be convinced to party...
