Artist and writer Rob Ullman, of whose work I've only recently gained awareness, has a super-powered romance comic coming out from Wide Aware Press, called That's Just Super. Ullman's work varies from serious to cheesecake, but he's a master of stylized "good girl art" and if I had to compare him to another artist I'd say his output is a bit similar to Darwyn Cooke's. Ullman is not known for his superhero work so this foray into the genre may be interesting.
You may have seen his work in Make Magazine - which is really excellent, by the way - or in the Washington City Paper.
I don't know anything about the book but I like the cover art.
Jillian Michaels is known for being the buff hottie strength-training coach on reality show snooze-fest "The Biggest Loser". Happily, watching fat people be humiliated on national TV is not the only way to catch Jillian on your television! She has released a bunch of DVD training videos titled The Biggest Winner.
Michaels is not merely the latest in a long line of "trainers to the stars" to find celebrity herself - she is set apart by being an absolute knockout. In an interview at iVillage she gives some information on her background:
I got into martial arts. And when I was 17 years old, I graduated high school early and started out on my own. In order to make money, I was training people, and I trained people from about 17 to 23, all the way through school. Of course, being in Los Angeles, your natural inclination is to get into the entertainment industry. I became a motion picture literary agent at ICM, which is a big talent agent which happens to represent me now, ironically.
Actually, it's not ironic, and normally I'd expect a (former) literary agent to properly differentiate between "irony" and "coincidence". However, she was a "motion picture literary agent", which I think justifies giving her a pass. But never mind all that, because the point of this post is that she's really hot and makes workout videos. Also, if I make fun of her she might beat me up, and while some of you dirty boys might actually fantasize about something like that, I don't. (I really don't like getting beat up, and I mean that completely un-ironically.)
Jillian Michaels' videos are available at Amazon.com. You should buy them for the women in your life because Jillian is a tough, muscular beauty and some of that might rub off on women who watch her videos. And if anyone asks, that's your alibi.
Some of you may remember Laurie Steele's appearance at the HerBiceps site, but she now has her own pay site (NSFW), as well. There's just something very enticing about Laurie - perhaps it's her exaggerated curves, maybe it's that she appears strong enough to benchpress a Buick, or just possibly it's because she looks like a (purely hypothetical) Marisa Tomei "after" photo in a bodybuilding magazine. (And I've always had a thing for Marisa Tomei.)
According to one source, Laurie's measurements are:
Gargantarama is a PG-13 (brief nudity) DVD movie presentation which should appeal to all fans of fantasy and sci-fi films. It will be of particular interest to those seeking giant woman (GTS) material in the popluar media. It is a regions free DVD-R movie, compatible and playable with any standard DVD player. Gargantarama — Giant Women In the Movies is an original production which examines the phenomena of giant women in fantasy cinema. Giant women is a popular fantasy often explored in the pages of AC Comics' Femforce, Giantess and Big 'Uns. This is the video equivalent showing fantasy scenes of well-endowed women such as Anita Ekberg, Joi Harmon and J. J. North (among others) as giant women on the silver screen.
This production is the precursor to an all new giant woman video coming from Galaxy International in 2006 and includes special effects test scenes showing how to make an actress into a giantess. Featured in its entirety is the 1958 cult sci-fi classic Attack Of the 50-Foot Woman starring Allison Hayes, not previously available on DVD. Special added attraction is a new 22 minute production, The Amazing Colossal Woman starring Brenna Barry as Garganta. Initially designed to be a 3 minute trailer to display giantess effects, this production was expanded as a homage to the low-budget sci-fi thrillers of the 1950's. To make it even more retro, it is released in glorious black and white. This DVD will provide close to 2 hours of entertainment.
The price is $24.95 plus $2.50 postage, available at ACComics.com.
