lui bardot

ummm, i probably won't have too much to say about this one. particularly since there's not much print on the cover, and i'm not the biggest Bardot fan in the world. but, to be fair, i've seen almost none of her work. morrissey is personal friends with her, though... on account of her 'animals are people; meat is murder; i don't eat my friends' thing they have in common. and hey, have you seen morrissey lately without a shirt on? well, don't get me wrong, i prefer him heavier... but all i'm saying is some of that vegetarian stuff he eats must not be all that light on the calories. i still think he has all his own hair, though. and i don't think he's had any 'work done' facially... unlike some pop stars i know. ( i'm calling you out, simon 'le face lift' le bon. ) okay, wait... weren't we talking about miss Bardot? i guess we kinda were. it's funny, looking at a picture of her like this one, it becomes almost laughingly obvious how those early 90's Guess? jeans ads were with claudia schiffer; cash-in/rip-off/ homage-wise.

lui ala bardot

brigitte bardot graces the cover of this issue of 'lui.' i've never been a real zealous bardot fan; but i am the first to admit, i've seen very, very little of her work. but i respect her impact as an icon. and she's all about animal rights. and morrissey is personal friends with her. but more than all of that, i love magazine covers. from what i've been able to gather, 'lui' was sort of like, France's version of Playboy or Penthouse. man, i'd love to have a big stack of 'lui's' fall in my lap.

bibi and birkin

okay, straight up, please don't flag me, they're only human naked chicks, and we've all seen that before. and this won't take long anyway. here we have the second (or third) mention of miss jane birkin in less than five days. yes, here's the slinky and french miss birkin, in the very very nude... in bed, in some movie i haven't been able to identify. she looks playful enough. and yes, the broad over her shoulder is the also-french-and-nude miss brigitte (overrated by me) bardot. yeah, so... they're not really doing anything, i know... they're not even kissing, they're not even pillowfighting, they're just kind of laying there. but, what makes this shot postworthy is the fact that... miss bardot has a very lit-and-hot-and-apt-to-cause-injury-to-delicate-flesh cigarette (!!) not six inches from miss birkin's somewhat-concealed 'private garden.' knowing if i was going to break my 95% 'straight' rule, and actively get in bed with another chick, i think i'd very much have to insist-and-stand firm by a 'no lit cigarettes near my pussycat area...!!' -rule. but hey, that's just me. (click to enlarge... i mean, hey, if you want to... i'm not here to judge.)
