Rebecca is radiant

 

Next up in this review of reality, in terms of gorgeous women, is model Rebecca Raines (Pignano). Her Instagram account doesn't have a lot of pictures, but in at least a couple of them, she's with a love interest, indicating that she's living in the realm of the real.

I did a little bit of searching, and it looks like they are getting married in September 2025. I guess she anticipated it by a few months by adding the name of her intended.

I can see what he sees in her.  Both sides, in fact.





Valenti Vitel is nice in knit

 

This is the first of several posts simply featuring extraordinary women. Later this month (hopefully sooner rather than later), I'm going to offer some thoughts about reality vs. AI in terms of the beauty of women. Meanwhile, though, I'm just going to feature the beauty of women.

Real women.

The first one has been a favorite of mine for years. And, to put it simply, she's extraordinary enough to be AI. She is, however remarkable it may seem, completely and totally real.

These are some recent pictures from Valenti Vitel.

In case you didn't know, and have money to spend

 

Given that there is lots of material like this available for free, it's difficult for me to recommend spending money for it.

But sometimes you have to pay for quality.

This is the first time I've featured the cover model of the April 2025 issue, Rachel Pizzolato, on this blog. I can pretty much guarantee it's not the last.



There's weird, and then there's this

 

A new species of caterpillar found in Hawaii protects itself by putting pieces of dead insects on its body.

Seriously.  I mean, seriously.

Carnivorous ‘Bone Collector’ Caterpillars Wear Corpses as Camouflage

"So how exactly did these caterpillars take on this hardcore habit? The answer is probably evolutionary, Rubinoff says. Bone collector caterpillars grow up to be moths, like most caterpillars do, but these moths tend to lay their eggs in a spiderweb’s nooks and crannies. A newly hatched caterpillar then collects bones to “camouflage itself from the spider landlord,” Rubinoff says. “The only chance they have of making a living in this situation is to decorate or die; they live for fashion.”

This is why I DETEST them

 

I'm still behind on the news. But I'm still angry about THIS news.

Trump officials consider shrinking 6 national monuments in the West

Interior Department officials are considering scaling back the boundaries of national monuments in the West to encourage energy development on public lands.

"Interior Department aides are looking at whether to scale back at least six national monuments, these individuals said, speaking on the condition of anonymity because no final decisions had been made. The list, they added, includes Baaj Nwaavjo I’tah Kukveni-Ancestral Footprints of the Grand Canyon, Ironwood Forest, Chuckwalla, Organ Mountains-Desert Peaks, Bears Ears and Grand Staircase-Escalante — national monuments spread across Arizona, California, New Mexico and Utah."
"The draft strategic plan, first reported by the news outlet Public Domain, spells out the Interior Department’s priorities through 2030. They include increasing fossil fuel production, opening lands in Alaska and elsewhere to mineral extraction, reducing grazing costs and trying to “release” federal holdings for housing development."
Why not preserve our natural heritage? Is that too much to ask?

For this administration, it obviously is.

"Yeah, let's enhance this landscape with some drill rigs and some townhomes."  (Organ Mountains - Desert Peaks National Monument)


Watch the right kind of porn

 

This is totally a public service announcement, and I'm not even sure what picture I'll use to illustrate it with.

It's pretty simple; if you want to watch porn, watch good stuff. That means with romance, feeling, passion, all the things that should go into good sex.  (The occasional employment of fur-lined handcuffs -- well, love comes in a lot of different forms.)

But still, there's acting, and there's just enjoying it.  If people enjoy what they're doing, that should be conveyed in how they do it, I think.

So, you can take the advice or not. But whatever you do, have a good time, and I hope that the participants have a good time, too.


Sex expert reveals the type of porn you should REALLY be watching

"She [the sex expert] said that because performers are prioritized, that energy that they're all in the experience together really comes through the screen and creates an exciting experience.

'It reminds us that great sex isn't just physical,' she said. 'It's relational and real.'
So, get into a good relationship. Or at least watch a good one.



Lighthouse of the Week, June 1-7, 2025: Faro di Punta Fenaio, Italy

 

If you really want to get away from it all, I think I've found your place. This Lighthouse of the Week is also a hotel/resort, and while being fairly isolated, it's also close to Italy. You'll see what I mean in a moment.

It's located on an island in the Arcipelago Tuscano, or Tuscan Archipelago, named Giglio. There are more famous islands out here, notably Elba and Montecristo. The island is almost directly west of the peninsula named the Promontorio dell'Argentario. If you haven't located this place in your mind yet, use the map.

Quick aside: how did anyone think exiling Napoleon to Elba would work?  You can practically swim from there to the mainland even if you don't know how to swim.

So, if you're wondering, let's find out about the lighthouse, from the Lighthouse Directory.

"1883. Active; focal plane 39 m (128 ft); three white flashes every 15 s. 10 m (33 ft) octagonal cylindrical masonry tower with lantern and gallery, attached to the front of a 2-story keeper's house. Lighthouse painted white with one red horizontal band; keeper's house painted bright red."

To get there, you have to take a ferry, of course, then you get driven beyond the end of the road. Like I said, get away from it all.

If you go there, tell me about it.  Pictures (which is as close as I'll ever get) are below.
