Monica Bellucci Satoshi Saikusa Photoshoot







Monica Bellucci gets very sensual and mystic in a Satoshi Saikusa photoshoot. She is one of my favorite actress because it doesn’t matter how many wrinkles hides that make-up and photoshop she still is the most beautiful, sensual and turn-on star ever.
The fact that she’s 44 can only come in her advantage. She still has that amazing body and her posture radiates with intelligence and experience. Monica was never intimidated by her $exuality and never been afraid to show it.

Kazakhstan's Astounding Futuristic Pyramid

Since 2006, kazakhstan's new capital city of astana, itself an enormous hub of construction since it inherited the title in 1997, has been home to one of the world's most impressive and visually futuristic pyramids, known as the palace of peace and reconciliation. it was designed by british super-architects foster + partners, cost 8.74 billion kazakh tenge (i don't need to tell you bright young humans that this equates to approx. £35m) and was built to accommodate the triennial 'congress of world and traditional religions'. if there was ever a positive to be found for the existence of the idiocy we know and love as religion, this building could be it, as after an impressively rapid 2 years of design and construction, the end product is a masterpiece.

above: the visible 5-storey pyramid section of the palace is as high as its base is wide (203ft) and is to be the centrepiece of the country's 'presidential park'.

above: a plan of the pyramid. the interior is just as impressive as the outer skin. this place is like a tardis and below the above-ground pyramid itself sits, amongst other things, an enormous 1'500 seat opera house - see final photo below.


above: the pyramid's 2 storey tip is home to the congress chamber, a space which has been surrounded by 10'100 sq feet of stained glass designed by renowned british artist brian clarke.

bove: inside the congress chamber, possibly one of the smartest meeting rooms on earth.


Above: the dove-covered stained glass of the congress chamber.


above: the view as you look through the middle of the congress chamber's circular table. walking down to the next level takes you through nearly a whole storey of greenery, below which is the amazing atrium seen in the next photo.


above: the atrium, and another incredible conference table.


above: looking up from the atrium towards the upper section. this enormous space is surrounded by walls of rooms, 5 floors high, to be used both for meetings and accommodation.

above: the opera house beneath the atrium. the domed ceiling sits below the enormous circular table belonging to the room above. for more detailed info about the pyramid i'd suggest reading this article by ellis woodman.

Rachel Bilson out for a dog walking

Getting her exercise in with a nature outing, Rachel Bilson took her faithful pup Thurmen Murmen for a walk at Griffith Park in Los Feliz on Wednesday afternoon (October 29).
And though the former “OC” starlet seemed to be holding up well, her pet pooch was so worn out that Rachel had to carry him back to the car.
In related news, Miss Bilson is awaiting the release of her new movie “New York, I Love You,” along with “Waiting for Forever,” an indie romance directed by James Keach.
According to IMDB, the movie is “about a young man Will Donner (Tom Sturridge) who’s happily unemployed and heads to Hollywood to spend the rest of his life with a 25-year-old actress who also happens to be his childhood girlfriend Emma Twist (Bilson).”
Enjoy the pictures of Rachel Bilson out for a dog walking adventure (October 29).
