1. Russell Crowe

This middle-aged, average chubby guy on the right used to play the Gladiator? Come on! No f***ing way! I know I said that people in America are too superficial and obsessed with their looks, but going to the exact opposite is also as bad if not worse. Doing some exercise twice or three times a week would really do him good. It’s good for his health, and more importantly, it’s excellent for his female fans’ libido.

2. Mickey Rourke

Hey, Mickey, you used to be so fine, so fine – you blew my mind… And looking at your deformed face now is so painful, it’s like looking at a terrible car crash. I’ve heard that you’re into boxing and that you got a few punches in the face and that all the plastic surgery you did was to fix the mess from your bloody hobby, but somehow that doesn’t seem right. And even if I manage to put this aside, I can’t overlook your frequent and embarrassing meltdowns in public and moping over your grandma and your dead puppy. You were the hottest bad guy in the Bullet, and are the best villain in the Iron Man 2, and in the Immortals, so just keep up with the good work, and whole ‘I don’t give a f**k’ attitude.

3. Mel Gibson

How does a person go from the first “sexiest man alive” according to the People Magazine in the 1985 to the drunk, Jew-obsessed, conspiracy theory lunatic? So sad!

4. Val Kilmer

I was never really into Val Kilmer, maybe because I was too young during the highlight of his career in the mid eighties, but when I look at his images from that period, I have to admit he looked pretty good. That is why it makes me so sad to look at his images today.

5. Tom Cruise

Tom Cruse, the shortest man that managed to enter the People Magazine’s pick for the sexiest man alive in 1990 (only 5′ 7”), is now worldwide known as the craziest Scientology freak that loves molesting other people’s couches. And I’m not even going to start on his outfit. It is too shameful.

6. Bruce Jenner

Honestly, if you ask me, I’ll say that Bruce never had any sexiness to start with, so I’m not sure if the question where it all went makes any sense. Still, there are many people that thought of him as smoking hot back in the old days so I decided to put him on this list after all.

7. Brendan Fraser

George should definitely go back to the jungle! Jumping from branch to another and some one-arm hanging from a tree would do him good.

8. Axl Rose

This is one of the saddest stories and one of the biggest losses in the world of hot and sexy men according to women anywhere in the world. For the love of God – shape up!

9. Vince Vaughn

Did he have a flu or something like that in the picture on the right?

10. Nick Nolte

Can you even imagine Nick Nolte looking good at any point in his life? And that’s not all, he was even the People’s sexiest man alive in 1992! That’s just crazy. Just look at this man’s mug shot… I can’t even comment on this.

11. James Spader

How did this happen? When? Why? Honestly, I wasn’t even aware that James Spander used to be sexy, but look at him in that white jacket! I didn’t know it was physically possible for a man to look good in a white jacket. And now… it’s like he is a completely different person. The white swan has turned into a boring accountant.

12. Nicolas Cage

Wait! That is not a good young Nic picture… This is more like it:

… and this one is even better:

Actually, he still looks pretty good, aside on the heavy drinking and bad hair days.

13. John Travolta

John, please, please, please… loose some weight! I’ll quote Olivia Newton John “You better shape up, cause I need a man…”
It’s so sad that all men can’t age as gracefully and look as good as Sean Connery or George Clooney.

1. Jean Harlow

Jean Harlow (March 3, 1911 – June 7, 1937) was an American film actress and sex symbol of the 1930s. Known as the “Blonde Bombshell” and the “Platinum Blonde” (due to her platinum blonde hair), Harlow was ranked as one of the greatest movie stars of all time by the American Film Institute. Harlow starred in several films, mainly designed to showcase her magnetic sex appeal and strong screen presence, before making the transition to more developed roles and achieving massive fame under contract to Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer (MGM). Harlow’s enormous popularity and “laughing vamp” image were in distinct contrast to her personal life, which was marred by disappointment, tragedy, and ultimately her sudden death from renal failure at age 26.

1940s

2. Lauren Bacall

Lauren Bacall (born Betty Joan Perske, September 16, 1924) is an American film and stage actress and model, known for her distinctive husky voice and sultry looks. She first emerged as leading lady in the film noir genre, including appearances in The Big Sleep (1946) and Dark Passage (1947), as well as a comedienne in How to Marry a Millionaire (1953) and Designing Woman (1957). Bacall has also worked in the Broadway musical, gaining Tony Awards for Applause in 1970 and Woman of the Year in 1981. Her performance in the movie The Mirror Has Two Faces (1996) earned her a Golden Globe Award and an Academy Award nomination. In 1999, Bacall was ranked #20 of the 25 actresses on the AFI’s 100 Years… 100 Stars list by the American Film Institute. In 2009, she was selected by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences to receive an Academy Honorary Award at the inaugural Governors Awards.

1950s

3. Sophia Loren

Sophia Loren, (born Sofia Villani Scicolone; 20 September 1934) is an Italian actress. In 1962, Loren won the Academy Award for Best Actress for her role in Two Women, along with 21 awards, becoming the first actress to win an Academy Award for a non-English-speaking performance. Loren has won 50 international awards, including an Oscar, seven Golden Globe Awards, a Grammy Award, a BAFTA Award and a Laurel Award. Her other films include: Houseboat (1958), El Cid (1961), Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow (1963), Marriage Italian Style (1964), A Special Day (1977). She has received critical and commercial success in movies for home box-office such as Courage (1986) and in American blockbusters such as Grumpier Old Men (1995), and Nine (2009).

4. Marilyn Monroe

Marilyn Monroe (born Norma Jeane Mortenson but baptized and raised as Norma Jeane Baker; June 1, 1926 – August 5, 1962) was an American actress, singer and model. Monroe began a career as a model, which led to a film contract in 1946. Her early film appearances were minor, but her performances in The Asphalt Jungle and All About Eve (both 1950) were well received. By 1953, Monroe had progressed to leading roles. Her “dumb blonde” persona was used to comedic effect in such films as Gentlemen Prefer Blondes (1953), How to Marry a Millionaire (1953) and The Seven Year Itch (1955). Limited by typecasting, Monroe studied at the Actors Studio to broaden her range, and her dramatic performance in Bus Stop (1956) was hailed by critics, and she received a Golden Globe nomination.

The final years of Monroe’s life were marked by illness, personal problems, and a reputation for being unreliable and difficult to work with. The circumstances of her death, from an overdose of barbiturates, have been the subject of conjecture. Though officially classified as a “probable suicide”, the possibility of an accidental overdose, as well as the possibility of homicide, have not been ruled out. In 1999, Monroe was ranked as the sixth greatest female star of all time by the American Film Institute. In the years and decades following her death, Monroe has often been cited as a pop and cultural icon as well as an eminent American sex symbol.

1. Salma Hayek, “From Dusk Till Dawn”

Robert Rodriguez’s horror-action-thriller features a small but memorable role for Hayek as demonic exotic dancer Satanico Pandemonium. She keeps her bra on, and her fangs out.

2.Elizabeth Berkley, “Showgirls”

One of the most famous, beloved and ridiculed stripper movies. Who knew “Saved By the Bell’s” Jessie Spano had this to look forward to after high school?

3. Halle Berry, “Frankie & Alice”

Berry plays a schizophrenic stripper in the dark drama “Frankie and Alice,” opening Dec. 10 for just one week to qualify for Oscars. It will return to theaters Feb. 4, 2011.

5. Natalie Wood, “Gypsy”

Playing striptease icon Gypsy Rose Lee in this classic 1962 musical, Wood went as far as the time period allowed.

Barely released in theaters, this poorly done “Crash” rip-off is known for two things: Patrick Swayze’s last movie role and Biel’s very revealing role as a stripper.

Of course, houses of Antoni Gaudi are in this collection too, because on e of the most distinctive characteristics of his architecture is that fairy tale effect, which could best be seen on his houses in park Guell. The buildings flanking the entrance, though very original and remarkable with fantastically shaped roofs with unusual pinnacles, fit in well with the use of the park as pleasure gardens and seem relatively inconspicuous in the landscape when one considers the flamboyance of other buildings designed by Gaudí.

After moving back home to Tulsa, Oklahoma, she was introduced to the joys of top-quality espresso at Nordaggio’s Coffee, and finally the link between coffee and art connected when she began painting with it.

Soon she learned the art of espresso itself by becoming a barista, though art is now her full-time job. Painting in coffee is a refreshing break from Karen’s work in oils, watercolor, and pencil.

Listen to Karen
Coffee art is a truly unique art form. It requires a thoughtful and delicate touch. Capturing the depth of these classic works is only possible through a slow and sophisticated process of building layers upon layers of espresso.

I first thought of the idea of painting with coffee while watching rich, red-brown espresso pouring perfectly into my cup. As I enjoyed my hot latte, it occured to me that perhaps I could take my passion for coffee to a deeper level. So I dipped my brush and began painting, and to my delight, it worked beautifully.

Painting with coffee is a completely enjoyable experience…Most often I paint in the coffee shop immersed in the delicious aroma of freshly ground coffee and sounds of low conversation, steam, and grind, which continue to inspire me as I watch my brush add new dimensions to the painting.

I hope that each painting brings you into the same warm atmosphere.

People have been spoofing iconic works of art for decades as a form of creative, or re-creative, expression. Following this time-honored tradition is Tulsa, Oklahoma artist Karen Eland. Her versions of classic masterpieces include works by Matisse and Picasso, Whistler’s Arrangement in Grey and Black: The Artist’s Mother, more commonly known as “Whistler’s Mother,” and the Sistine Chapel scene with God and Adam by Michelangelo.

However, Eland uses only espresso as paint. That’s right. She doesn’t just drink her coffee–she paints with it. Preferring espresso “straight from the machine,” she sometimes lets it sit out for several days to get the darker tones she sometimes needs.

As if painting with coffee weren’t different enough, she takes the coffee theme one step further by depicting one or more cups of coffee in each of the spoofs.

So far, her most impressive feat is a more serious pair of murals displayed in two of Seattle’s Espresso Vivace coffee houses (see photo of Eland kneeling.) These works measure 3′ x 24′ and took six months each to paint.

Having always been enamored of Michelangelo’s Sistine Chapel ceiling, I asked, “When you painted ‘Creation of Coffee,’ did you dither about who should be pouring the coffee for whom?” She replied,

“Yes, it was tricky. The way their hands were in the original made it seem that Adam could be holding the french press easier, so I came up with the idea that God created the coffee bean, then created man to have creativity, then man applied that and offers it back to God.”

So, God said, “Let there be coffee.” And it was good, very, very good.
