I only managed to write one article for Celebrity Time Machine in November and I doubt that December will be any more prolific. Here’s a look at some older December’s magazine covers.
Jennifer Aniston could take some pointers on how to pose naked from
Ursula Andress. Instead of teasing us for last 20 years by not showing her private parts and suing half the internet once some topless photos of her finally pop up, she could take some notes from Ursula Andress on how to pose naked at the age of 39. Like Jennifer recently, Ursula posed for Italian photographer Angelo Frontoni at the age of 39. One small difference – Ursula didn’t mind showing her boobs. Topless photos of the first
Bond Girl were published in German ER magazine in December 1976.
Next stop with our nude celebrity time machine is December 1998. Business was going great for
Playboy Enterprises back then. December’s issue of the magazine with
Katarina Witt on the cover was the second sold-out issue of the magazine in history. The first sold-out issue was the inaugural one with
Marilyn Monroe. With Christie Hefner as the head of the company since 1988 things were looking good for Playboy. Unfortunately with internet boom, the next ten years were not so good for old style publishing business and Chrisite almost ran the company into the ground. Let's hope, for the sake of all nude celebrity lovers out there, the new CEO will put the company on the right track again.
In December 1998 French
Newlook magazine published a nude pictorial of Wonderbra model Adriana Sklenarikova. At one time her 49 inch legs held the Guinness world record for the longest legs. Adrianna also got married in December 1998, she married French football player Christian Karembeu and took his name,
Adriana Karembeu, and they are still happily married. Adriana also appears in French movies a lot, most recently she was in Asterix at the Olympic Games (Yes, you read it right, French actually sent two of their biggest dopers, Asterix and Obelix, to the Olympic Games).
French
Photo magazine published a preview of
Pirelli’s 1999 calendar it its December’s issue. Pirelli’s 1999 calendar was shot by fashion photographer Herb Ritts and it explored how the image of women has changed through each decade according to cultural, social and fashion influences. Among top models posing for 1999 Pirelli calendars were
Carolyn Murphy,
Karen Elson,
Elsa Benitez, Chandra North,
Laetitia Casta, Audrey Marnay,
Bridget Hall,
Angela Lindvall and
Alek Wek.
Last interesting magazine cover on this time trip takes us to December 2000.
Tara Reid was on the cover of
Maxim magazine. If you read Tara’s interview for the magazine you’ll get the idea why she had to check into a rehab over the weekend. She said in the interview that one of her specialties is making Bloody Marys. Unfortunately, with years, her recipe of mixing 1 1/2 oz vodka and 3 oz tomato juice changed to 3 oz vodka and 1 1/2 oz tomato juice. Anyway, I hope she gets better soon and gets rid of the addiction that put her into rehab in the first place.
