We start 1999 with some outstanding beauties, and halfway down (don't peek!) we have something new! Hope you'll enjoy it all!
And now, KC presents January's Beauties!
I absolutely adore this lady - meet Ricki Weaver! Ricki's from the San Francisco area (a real live native Californian!) and she shows us both her formal side, her casual side, and her leggy LBD (Little Black Dress) side! My favorite is the long red formal - she just looks so terrific in it, doesn't she?! - but wander around Ricki's Run and choose your own favorite. Lovely lady, California's Ricki!
Next please welcome Laurie Kastler to our Top Ten! (Please resize your window or use the scroll bar to see all of her - what a treat!) Judging from the first picture, Laurie either owns the world's smallest upright piano or she may be on the tall side - you'll have to visit her website to know for sure! What I'm sure of is that Laurie's another California beauty (okay, so there's a theme going here!) with looks and legs to turn heads and shake fault lines. Don't ask me why the left coast has all these beauties - just enjoy the very lovely Laurie Kastler - every last pixel of her!
This picture will attest to the graceful beauty of Deborah Jean Oakley, but don't think she's just another pretty face! Deborah Jean is a terrific writer - she can be insightful, touching, and humorous - and you really should stop by her site and read her stuff (and not just look at the pictures ;). The classic city of Philadelphia is home to this classic lady - Deborah Jean!
Last month you met Vicky, one half of the dynamic duo that runs a great British website. Here's the second half of that pair, the lovely Leanne Ash! Leanne calls Scotland home, and you can find her sporting the hottest fashions on the boulevards of Edinburgh and Glasgow - or find here and Vicky clubbing the nights away in London. Be sure and check out her web site for oodles of fashion looks - a fun lady to visit, Scotland's own Leanne!
Next meet Suzi, who now holds the record for the longest and shortest dresses ever shown side by side anywhere! Suzi's also from the UK (London), and she also loves to show off her great looks around the club scene - see her web site for tons of pictures of her and her girlfriends on the town. Suzi, forgive the American slang, but "Party On, girl!"
You can look at her wonderful smile, or you can look at her phenomenal legs - with Tracy, they're both a real treat! Tracy lives in New England - the "other side of the pond" to our previous two ladies - and has lots more looks on her home page. A gem, no matter where in the world you are - Tracy!
And now, for something special. This logo belongs to an artiste named Jamie Austin - and to say Jamie does makeovers is like saying that Michaelangelo painted ceilings. We ran across Jamie as we were revisiting Katherine Abbott's (April, Year 1) home page and again when we found Tracy, the beauty just above us here. Now we're not into commercial endorsements here, but we were so blown away by Jamie's work that we asked her if we could feature some of the beauties she's madeover who don't have there own websites yet. So thanks very much to Jamie and to the girls for helping us out here - and as you scroll down, you'll see why we're so excited about this cooperative effort. Look for even more beauties from Jamie in the months to come!
And, as a bonus, we'll "refeature" the lovely Katherine Abbott and her new looks, following the conclusion of our top ten beauties - so you're getting eleven girls this month! (Don't ever say we don't care about our readers :)
And if you'd like to contact Jamie for consultation or your own makeover, she lives and works in the Boston area but will travel a bit to work with you. We think her work is her best credentials, so write her, visit her web site, surf around her makeover gallery, or check out the boutique she calls home. (And tell her you heard about her here!)
This beautiful redhead, bombshell blonde, and slinky brunette are (gasp!) all the same incredible lady! Anna is so pretty, and looks so good in red velvet or in sequins, that we would be jealous if we didn't know she's a lovely lady inside as well. If ever there was proof of the phrase "She looks good any anything", then this chameleon of a lady is it. Boston, your city's beauty is much greater because Anna calls you home!
A rose, by any other name, would still not compare to the breathtaking elegance of Francine. Jamie says she's warm, friendly, and genuinely sincere - and we say she's just so lovely that every sequined gown in town will want to go home with her! We're sure she stops conversations, turns heads, and makes hearts beat faster - the lovely Francine!
Sheri's pictures here are "hot off the presses", according to Jamie. Sheri used to favor another hair color, but how could anyone not fall in love with this golden blonde look (and that golden figure in that golden dress!)? She's got a wonderful smile we adore, and she looks great in animal prints to boot! Got to admire this lady - Sheri!
We have got to admit that we just can't get enough of Amanda - she's got a "girl next door" quality, yet is so stunningly beautiful. She has terrific eyes, a winning smile, fab abs, and this truly feminine air about her! We love the casual look on the left and the formal elegance on the left, but the picture in the middle is close to perfect - the lovely Amanda!
Webhead wants to add that he thinks Amanda's legs are world-class! We agree (I think he's got a crush on her - KC).
And finally (as promised!), let's look at Katherine Abbott one more time! Here's the shot we used last April of the "adorable" Katherine, plus a couple more from her original website:
We still love those looks a lot, but now, here's the "alluring" Katherine following her makeover by Jamie:
All we can say about Katherine is: Wow! (And we assume no one thinks six shots of Katherine is too many - just remember, she's a bonus eleventh girl this month!)
Whew, what a month! Acres of loveliness - hope we've started your new year out right! Drop us a note and tell us what's on your mind -
