Halloween Wrap-Up

Jessica Perez as a dude.

Brooklyn Decker as a chicken.

Jessica Gomes as Girl Who Got "Cut by a Vampire."

Kate Upton as Zombie Marilyn Monroe.

Chrissy Teigen as a Toddler in a Tiara.

And finally, Modelinia.com has a nice time-lapse video of Heidi Klum's horrific transformation.

Happy Mollyween

Molly Sims tweeted this yesterday:...which led to this photo:I'm a little surprised, because it flies in the face of this campaign (almost eerily so). So let's help Molly tiptoe around the controversy with a couple of spooooky orange-and-black bikinis from 2004.Whaddaya say, Molly? Maybe go as an SI model instead?

Klum in Kostum

Heidi Klum has become renowned for her annual Halloween party (and the insanely intricate costumes she wears to them). Here’s a nice gallery of her disguises, from Sexy Cat:…to Betty Boop:…to Kali, Hindu Destroyer Goddess:…to, I guess, Vampire Lady Godiva:
Last night she tweeted her 2011 costume as a work-in-progress. Let’s take a look!
She is gorgeous isn’t she?


Oh, a bald cap. Maybe… Kojak? Uncle Fester?


Oh, good lord…


A skinned corpse. Wow.


Let’s cleanse the palate a little. In 2002, for GQ's 45th Anniversary Issue, Klum donned the mantles of several twentieth-century Sex Goddesses, from Brigitte Bardot to Farrah Fawcett to Phoebe Cates to Jessica Rabbit.Beauty may be only skin deep, but I prefer Heidi with that skin to without.

Jessica Gomes: Woman of Mystery and Contradictions

Jessica is in the November Maxim.Some photos, an interview, and a video can be found here.

A couple things:

In the video interview, she has this to day:
That was probably the craziest thing that I've read. People were like, "Oh, she's, are they fake? They're fake boobs." I mean, trust me, I know that they're big, but they're real, and I would never pay money to get these boobs because they are quite annoying.

Unless she went through puberty after her first appearance in 2008, you may color me skeptical...

But weirder still, in the same interview, she pronounces her last name as rhyming with "homes."


I poked around online, and she also pronounces it that way in her SI 2011 profile.


But, in 2009, she clearly pronounced it "Gomez."


I am especially mortified because I corrected Kanye West on his pronunciation a year ago.

Jessica Gomes, you have made a liar out of me!I... I can't stay mad at you.

Pretty in Pink

On SI.com, they’ve put up a photo gallery entitled “SI Swimsuit Models in Pink,” with this paragraph of explanation:

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month. To mark the occasion, here are some of SI's most popular swimsuit models (past and present) wearing pink.

Frankly, the whole endeavor is more than a little creepy to me. But I will draw attention to it because it includes this beautiful photo of Stacey Williams.

One-Piece Wednesday: Judit Masco, 1991

An amusing exchange between the swimsuit issue and a reader came in 1991. SI's caption for this pic of Judit:...was "As evening falls at Grace Bay, Judit realizes that all good things must come to an end. Her star-and-moon applique suit ($85) is from Keiko."

This prompted a certain Mr. Colton to write:
Well played, John. And happy 42nd, Judit Masco.
