Whilst in Beijing a couple of years ago I went to a beautiful Taoist temple and park, and found the most beautiful "moon door". It was so beautiful and really gave the place a feeling of peace, I really want to build one in my own garden one day, especially if I get to wear the outfit in the top picture.

Daughter of Steven Tyler of the band Aerosmith and Bebe Buell, former model (and Playboy Playmate of the Month) and stalwart of the backstage rock scene of the 1970s, Liv grew up thinking that rock star Todd Rundgren was her father. Liv Tyler's lips - they're like beacons of hoty mood Wow So Juicy.

With the rise of bossomy actresses like Amanda Seyfried, pop stars like Katy Perry and models like Bar Refaeli, it's clear that ‘tis the season to be busty. Just don’t tell that to Kristen Stewart, whose waifish frame, fair skin and almost complete lack of curves call back to a time when heroin was chic. Still, Stewart can flaunt the movie queen looks when she needs to (Chuck Taylors and all), and it seems to be enough to satisfy Robert Pattinson, who clearly isn’t a boob guy. She is very young and beautiful and many say so. She is at the beginning of her career and already famous so we can hope for the best of her in the next years.

You can see how hoty Kirsten is just by the fact that she managed to turn a 12-year-old vampire drinking blood into an erotic moment. Her roles since then have not really taken advantage of her hoty appeal, but she did make many guys drool when she appeared in a wet T-shirt in Spider-Man (2002). Okay, and we loved her in her cheerleading outfit in Bring It On. Even though her list of credits is longer than John Holmes' power tool, the name might not necessarily ring a bell.

What the Water Gave Me by Frida Kahlo
Self-portrait with Thorn Necklace and Hummingbird


"I used to think I was the strangest person in the world but then I thought, there are so many people in the world, there must be someone just like me who feels bizarre and flawed in the same ways I do. I would imagine her, and imagine that she must be out there thinking of me too. Well, I hope that if you are out there and read this and know that, yes, it’s true I’m here, and I’m just as strange as you."
