Which is not only one of the best Captain America stories but it also broke one of Marvel´s all time taboos by bringing back Bucky Barnes as the Winter Soldier whom most people know nowadays only from the movies.
Steve´s birthday was on October the 18th and while I don´t want to put up links to all Captain America posts for the benefit of new visitors ( and regulars who want to refresh their memory ) there is MY BIG CAPTAIN AMERICA POST which I wrote way back in 2007 that tells you all you need to know about Marvel´s super patriot - or at least how I see him - and it includes the german version for any german readers I might have left.
If you want to read it you probably should check out the re - posts I did in 2011 where I cut it up in shorter chunks for the english version ( intro part 1 / intro part 2 / intro part 3 / main part ) and the german version . And as I often forget to mention there are the links to the best of the best posts at the bottom of each post. Coming back to Steve Epting, in 2017 I did a special post on one of my favorite story lines during his run on Avengers - although it is not beloved by many Avengers fans - The Gatherers Saga.
And while I still intend to do at least one follow up to that post I want to use this opportunity to put more original Steve Epting art on the blog since he did not burst onto the mighty AVENGERS with that story.
For our next celebrity birthday we have to go back two days to October the 16th which was the 44th birthday of ultimate sex goddess Mar Saura.
In her case wikipedia needs to be updated because while it mentions her appearance in Los Mysterios De Laura it doesn´t acknowledge that she played a big role in season two of El Ministerio Del Tiempo one of Spain´s most successful series which I have mentioned a few times before. Since I try to pimp the series as much as I can I was looking for an episode with her or some good scenes but there are mostly interviews so Today´s topic is Mar Saura´s biggest impact on spanish tv history : her incredibly sexy live wardrobe malfunction on the show Verano Noche ( Summer Night ).
The Miss Barcelona 1992 was around 25 years old at that time and thanks to her extremely charming personality and a pornstar body that won´t quit she had already become one of the sexiest presenters on spanish tv.
There have been rumors that she increased her income by working as a high class prostitute on the side but I don´t think there is anything to it even though she might have had sexual adventures with such famous actors as Dennis Quaid or Brad Pitt. There would have been easier ways to make money and she never did even nude photoshoots. What made her unwanted nipple slip on Verano Noche more famous throughout Spain.
But there are more reasons why it became such a watershed moment for all males in Spain - at least from my generation. First of, as I said Mar Saura was in her physical prime when this happened which is when you want this to take place. Don´t take this wrong, of course I know that apart from a few celebrities who use nipple slips to boost their careers ( like french über sex goddess Sophie Marceau allegedly did in Cannes in 2005 ) no woman wants to have a wardrobe malfunction and even less on line tv.
But on the other side IF something like this happens it´s better when it happens while your body is still in it´s best form and not when it has already passed its prime and all the stuff is sagging. Which is something a lot of celebrities don´t think about when it comes to nude photoshoots.
There are just too many who only remember doing naked pictures when they are older and want to show the world they still look as good as they did when they were young. The only problem here is that if they have not done nude shots when they were young there is nothing to compare it to.
So to all the hot celebrities out there here is my recommendation : be smart about it and do it when you are still young and in your prime like asian fitness guru Kiana Tom or german Schlager Sternchen Linda Hesse.
But coming back to Mar Saura, one of the reasons why her nipple slip became so famous - besides the fact that she never had done any nude photoshoots - was that she had one of the best pairs on tv at that time.
And basically every male person in Spain, from little boys who were shot through puberty prematurely thanks to her to grown men who wanted to dicktame Mar with their huge erections to old men who dreamed of going out while doing it with her everybody was daydreaming about getting his rockhard boner massaged by Mar´s perfect pair of puppies. So when her right boob popped out of her dress it was like instant wish fulfillment.
Another reason is that it was right at the beginning of the show and you know you are in for a treat when a show starts with a nipple slip. It also was quite long since Mar did not realize it right away. But the second breast part was her reaction when she grasped what had just happened.
She instantly said : " You could have warned me. " knowing damn well that no guy in the audience would have said something since they were all too busy drooling. Then she just said : " Well, I guess I showed a little. Not that much. " and just went on with the show as it was business as usual.
Even my number one sex fantasy of all times, the living nubian blow up sex doll that walks a.k.a. the best body in showbiz, Janet " All Night - Don´t Stop " Action Jackson ( who has three solo posts on the blog besides three entries in my JLA cast ) would have been fazed. I mean, I always knew that Janet was a sex freak ( Janet admitted to joining the Mile High Club and is a well known size queen ) and although the rumors that Bobby Brown banged her in the 80s might not be true it is much more believable that she used Justin Timberlake as her sextoy and dumped him after a month of steamy sex marathons . According to Justin it took Janet an hour to get in my pants after we first hooked up and she was so wild in bed that I didn´t know how to handle it. I was falling in love with Miss Jackson but during our get - togethers she only wanted to have sex.
I don´t think of myself as sexy but I am a very sexual being, I always have sex on my mind. I feel very comfortable with it and I think it´s great if a guy has a good sized package. I know the effect my body has on guys so I sometimes use it to get especially well hung guys into my bedroom where I tie them to the bed and bang their brains out in a marathon sex orgy.
I go completely crazy and make them squirt again and again until they are completely drained. I regret doing it but I´ll turn around and do it again.
It´s no secret that Janet Jackson was predestined to play a stripper not only because of her incredibly fit and flexible pornstar hardbody which could have earned her a fortune as one of the biggest super stars in the adult entertainment industry but also because she has some incredible stripper moves that make real striptease pros envious . Which nasty Miss Jackson more than proved in Jermaine Dupri´s music video Gotta Getcha where Janet plays one extremely busty stripper dressed up as a school girl or teacher . I don´t know if the script explicitly said " busty stripper " but with her huge DD melons it´s the only kind Janet can believably portray.
And to top it all off the erection projection performance of Janet Jackson in that video is so explicit that it never aired on german music television.
Heck, some months ago I found a Making Of from that video and originally Janet was supposed to play a nymphomanic dominatrix but they skipped that because it would hit too close to home according to Janet herself.
Say what ? So Janet is a nymphomanic dominatrix in the privacy of her own bedroom ? Daiiiiimn ! But even with all that I don´t think Janet Jackson would have had the balls to just continue with the show since she practically almost ended her entire career because of Nipplegate.
There were a few incredibly hot wardrobe malfunctions on spanish tv like the one that shot mega sexbomb Sabrina " Bouncing Action " Salerno into superstardom all over Europe except Germany ( since they also didn´t show the uncut version of her music video BOYS BOYS BOYS here ). It was on New Year´s of 1988 where she performed " Hot Girl " and just couldn´t control her boobs - they popped out of her top showing a lot of nipplage.
Speaking about megahot live performances, while french blow up sex doll Marlene Mourreau never had any wardrobe malfunctions ( mainly because she either didn´t wear much clothes to begin with and got rid of the little she did wear very quickly ) her pornographic appearances were always so sexually charged and her stage outfits so skimpy that she almost got banned from spanish tv. And everyone who has seen the heavily sexual content they show on spanish tv knows that it takes a lot to get banned.
I mean back then it was practically expected that all hot women who were on tv in Spain did at least one nude photoshoot in the famous Interviu magazine and Marlene Mourreau did around a dozen not counting all the other men´s magazines where she appeared naked. And even with this avalanche of naked high gloss pictures she never got banned from spanish tv which tells you how sexually liberated spanish society was at that time.
We are staying with born for porn singers who did nude photoshoots with the australian sexbomb with two 35C stereo speakers, Dannii " Double Airbags " Minogue who celebrated her 48th birthday on October the 20th.
SIMON SAYS : DANNII MINOGUE WAS MY SEX TOY, MY BLOW UP SEX DOLL
The stacked Minogue sister with the built in pair of bongos was actually in the music business first and had a big career before Kylie ever sang her first note, which most people forgot for a long time. Which of course changed when she became a judge on The X - Factor where she got the highest points from the audience on the show and Simon Cowell in the bedroom who used her as his blow up sex doll. Dannii has officially denied being Simon´s sex toy but that doesn´t contradict that he banged her brains out. I mean, if I was sitting next to a wet dream with such huge melons all day I would definitely put her pornstar body to the test, this is a total no brainer. Simon even campaigned to get her back on the show and made no secret that it was mainly because of her incredible breasts.
He wanted the channel to splash out millions to secure a deal with Dannii Minogue and told ITV boss Peter Fincham : " Bring her back to X - Factor and everyone will tune in to look at her tits. " In his biography Simon Cowell admitted that he was in love with Danni Minogue for years. " I had a crush on her. It was Dannii´s hair, the sexy clothes and the tits. I was like a schoolboy. She was foxy. She was a real man´s girl. Very feminine. "
Now I don´t have the time to go through all the videos from The X - Factor I have bookmarked to sort out the ones with Dannii Minogue but besides being a judge she also was the coach of Dami Im and I still have one of those. It´s been a long time since I posted one and don´t worry, this is my last video with the unbeatable combo of Dannii Minogue and Dami Im but it´s not my last video with Dami Im. So enjoy Dami Im´s winning final performance as well as Dannii titanic twin torpedoes in a silver dress that seems to be poured onto her body. And those that feel so inclined can check out more celebrity birthdays from October the 20th in this post .
I know what you are all waiting for but don´t fear we also have a birthday for that with Christiane Hagemann who turned 44 on the 21st of October and who is best known as Gitti on the german tv series Die Rote Meile.
STOP WORRYING AND ENJOY LEIFHEIT or GOING THE EXTRA ( RED ) MILE
The series was named after the red light district of St. Pauli in Hamburg and was a sequel to The King of St. Pauli. It follows the lives of strippers, prostitutes and their pimps but they are all portrayed like regular people not like in american tv series where people from this walk of life are always portrayed as bad people. I remember an episode of a series about beach cops on bikes ( that sounds as action packed as it was ) with people from the porn industry and they also made them killers because all people in adult entertainment must be horrible persons. Anyway, I watched every episode of Die Rote Meile because they had a very easy concept : one strip in every episode which was not interrupted by commercials. I don´t know if they could do that Today as they put commercials into everything.
Even if they did not go totally topless - sometimes they had pasties on - I was glued to the tv watching such hot sexbombs like Yasmina Filali above.
Daimn, that girl really has the prototype of the heart shaped ass. Longtime readers know that one of my pet pevees on this blog is celebrating all the brave actresses who turn insufferable dreck into bearable entertainment by taking their clothes off or at least show what their Mama gave them and who don´t get enough recognition for that . And there were some on Die Rote Meile as I found out when I tried to find the names of the best strippers. Yes, only the " real " actors are mentioned in the cast meaning those with a speaking part which tells you which place some women still occupy in Today´s society. So if anybody out there knows the name of the living blow up sex doll with the big melons below put it in the comments.
Anyway, one of the best strippers of the regular cast is Sylvia Leifheit who has a secret identity in the series as she plays the typical devoted wife by day, secret stripper by night. Sylvia made me realize two things : firstly, while I usually don´t go for skinny chicks she is just oozing so much sex appeal that I would do her in a minute. And second, hair color can really make a difference because her character in the series is actually a blonde and despite having the same stunning figure as a blonde she´s kind of - meh - looking while as Luna with the black wig she´s a real firecracker !
A few years back I got the complete first season of Die Rote Meile on DVD at amazon at a pretty decent price and I´m glad I seized the opportunity because it really goes for ridiculous prices now. I can really recommend this show and Sylvia Leifheit alone is worth the price of admission.
As always a longer list of memorable birthdays from October the 21st can be found here and new visitors to the blog might also want to check out this post which not only has more birthdays from October the 16th up until October the 22nd but also the complete original artwork for issue 29 of CONAN THE BARBARIAN by Roy Thomas, John Buscema and Ernie Chan.
Which is my clue to bring things finally back to comicbooks. My, the part with Mar Saura really got blown out of proportion but I really thought I had already written about all of that stuff in an earlier post. So we started this post with Steve Epting and it is only fair that we end it the same way.
Here is another informative and educational video essay ( just like in the army ) by Matt Draper about Ed Brubaker´s CAPTAIN AMERICA run that culminated in the WINTER SOLDIER story. As I said, most people only know the movie version so I think this might be interesting for all those who are not so familiar with the original source material. And who knows ? Maybe the video will get them to read the run. Like it has become a staple Mr. Draper gives a good overview with various enlightening insights and he also mentions the contribution of Michael Lark who often is overlooked.
One of the reasons why Ed Brubaker´s CAPTAIN AMERICA run was such a big success is that most people had preconceived notions about Captain America and thought that he was just a walking ad for the army. So when people started reading the comics - because word of mouth had gone out that this sacrilegious story that had brought Bucky Barnes back from the dead was actually quite good - they were blown away by how far away the character of Steve Rogers was from what they thought. In the same way most german movie critics thought that the movie Renaissance Man with Danny DeVito and Gregory Hines was just a propaganda movie for the army when it came out. Aww, who am I kidding ? Some german movie critics still think that. Well, not to burst your bubble but while the movie takes place in an army camp the reason for that is that that is the place where society dumps it´s lowest people. The movie is not so much about promoting the army and getting people to enlist but about being all you can be ( which I think used to be the motto of the army ), striving to be better even if everybody around you tells you you can´t and following your dreams as cheesy as that may sound. All the characters in the movie have to make some hard choices about where they are in life and where they want to be. Like Danny DeVito´s character who decides to stop trying to be an advertising man - since that is not going to happen - and instead focuses on his new vocation as a teacher and being a good father for his daughter.
The movie ( which is called Mr. Bill in Germany ) also tackles the topics why people Today should read Shakespeare and what a writer who died more than 400 years ago has to say. It seems some things never change.
Apropos, the original title of Endstation Hölle ( Final Destination : Hell ) was a bit less melodramatic with Skyjacked. Maybe that was one of the reasons why it was better received in the US than in Germany. I mean, with that movie title you expect all kinds of things. I have to confess that I only picked the movie because it´s the only one I bookmarked that has people in uniform but after I watched a big part I have to see the full film.
And it has something to do with the military since the guy who hijacks the plane is a Vietnam veteran who was driven insane by war trauma.
Speaking of men in uniform, we close this post with a cartoon based on a classic comic strip, Beetle Bailey. Originally I wanted to post an episode of the cartoon but the only ones I could find had really bad quality. But I think the unaired tv special from 1989 is more interesting for my readers anyway. Now I don´t want to bring it back to the topic of hot sexbombs, but daiiiimn, that Miss Buxley really has some nice, big sweater puppies !
