Yesterday we saw a few NSFW photos of Heidi Klum covered in chocolate in the new photobook Rankin’s Heidilicious and today we get to see a few more NSFW nekkid pics of Klum in all her, well, Heidiliciousness:

Yeah, I’m gonna go out on a limb and say that this new photobook is chock full of many nekkid pics of the German supermodel. After the jump, check out a few NSFW uncensored images from the book, none of which feature chocolate of any kind …

Supermodel and new mom (again) Heidi Klum is the subject of a new photobook by celeb photographer Rankin (née John Rankin Waddell) titled Heidilicious which is full of, well, photos of Heidi Klum. I would imagine that many of the photos in this new book are on the racier (ie. nekkid) side … I mean, judging by this photo alone:

That’s a lot of chocolate Heidi’s wearing … and, wouldn’t you know it, all of that chocolate doesn’t completely cover everything adequately. HMMM … yeah, you see what I mean about the tone of this book. After the jump, check out a few NSFW uncensored photos from Rankin’s Heidilicious which feature more of this chocolate fun …

Last night was the latest meeting of The Turtle Party: Book Club and was our time to have our final discussion on Kurt Vonnegut’s Breakfast of Champions. There was a mixed-bag of opinions on the book and we decided to rate the book 3.5 stars out of 5. I personally found the narrative too loose to follow and it took me well past the midway point of the book to even get into it. Had it not been for the book club, I would’ve abandoned the book by chapter 10. In retrospect, we discussed how it might’ve been more successful had we read a book from early in Vonnegut’s career rather than near the end of it.

Caleb brought a selection of books for us to choose as our next book to read … by overwhelming consensus, we decided to take on Post Office by Charles Bukowski:

I’m really excited to read this book … it’s been one of the books I’ve been dying to get to. I look forward to discussing it with my fellow Turtle Partiers soon.

David and I are in full blown cleaning mode today … his sisters arrive tomorrow and we need to get this place in shipshape. That said, we are taking a break this afternoon to grab some food with a friend of ours we haven’t seen in ages. This evening will most likely be spent in the aisles at Target loading up on supplies … fun times!!

No big news to pass along from yesterday … it was a very quiet day for David and me. I have a lot of reading to do so I really needed to stay in and get some of that finished. I really wanted to finish Valley of the Dolls by Jacqueline Susann which I started a couple of weeks ago and I finally managed to get it done. OMG, what a fabulous book. I loved every bit of it … those of you who mentioned in the comments that I would love that book were so right. I really need to watch the movie version now … so much fun!! I also needed to get some reading done on Breakfast of Champions by Kurt Vonnegut. The Turtle Party: Book Club meets tonight and I am supposed to have half of the book read … well, I did get some reading done but not the required half … mainly because I started reading a new biography of William Shakespeare that I simply cannot put down:

Biographies on Shakespeare are all pretty much made up of conjecture primarily because there aren’t many records left by Shakespeare himself and he never left any writings about his personal life. This new book, Will in the World: How Shakespeare Became Shakespeare by Stephen Greenblatt is really a fantastic read. He manages to paint a portrait of what Shakespeare’s life *may* have been like based on anecdotal evidence left by his contemporaries. The writing is really superb and Shakespeare’s life is wholly fascinating.

In any event, that’s pretty much what I did yesterday … tonight, I meet up with the other Turtle Party folks. It’ll be good to see everyone.

Shocking Paris Hilton news to pass along today … the overexposed heiress was spotted shopping in SoCal for something so surprisingly out of character that the mere sight of her latest shopping excursion left me slack-jawed and stunned. Paris Hilton was caught shopping … at a book store!

What’s even more shocking is that Paris went shopping at one of the best book stores in LA — Book Soup on Sunset Blvd. At first, Paris was seen perusing a book titled The 48 Laws of Power … here is a book description:

Amoral, cunning, ruthless, and instructive, this piercing work distills three thousand years of the history of power in to forty-eight well explicated laws. As attention–grabbing in its design as it is in its content, this bold volume outlines the laws of power in their unvarnished essence, synthesizing the philosophies of Machiavelli, Sun-tzu, Carl von Clausewitz, and other great thinkers. Some laws teach the need for prudence (”Law 1: Never Outshine the Master”), the virtue of stealth (”Law 3: Conceal Your Intentions”), and many demand the total absence of mercy (”Law 15: Crush Your Enemy Totally”), but like it or not, all have applications in real life. Illustrated through the tactics of Queen Elizabeth I, Henry Kissinger, P. T. Barnum, and other famous figures who have wielded–or been victimized by–power, these laws will fascinate any reader interested in gaining, observing, or defending against ultimate control.

But once Paris discovered that there were NO PICTURES in this book, she decided to pick up a pretty and oversized photo book instead … then she sped away in her fugly ass pink Bentley. The thought of Paris Hilton actually reading a book — any book — just hurts my head. Paris Hilton may be famous for doing very outrageous things … but this has to take the cake.

Last night The Turtle Party: Book Club finally managed to meet again after too many weeks of delay. Altho we were one member short, we managed to finally get around to discussing our first book selection Good Omens by Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchett. Overall, we liked the book as a group … tho, some people had difficulty or just didn’t like the British humor. Our discussion veered off into the realm of religion and really made for an interesting conversation. It was really cool to hear everyone’s perspectives on the book, whether they liked it or not, which made the whole thing more enlightening overall. We had a really great discussion.

Tamar brought a selection of 4 books for us to vote on as our next selection and we decided as a group to read Kurt Vonnegut’s Breakfast of Champions as our next book:

I haven’t read any of Vonnegut’s work so I’m really excited to check out this book. The next meeting of The Turtle Party: Book Club will be on October 6 and those who are reading along should have read up to the end of chapter 15 by that meeting time.

Tonight I have plans to meet up with Darion and Josh for dinner and/or a movie so that should be fun. Nothing too exciting going on this week … which is just the way I like it :)

Yesterday was a gloriously do nothing day for me. Because of all the running around that I’ve been doing the past few weeks, it was very nice to not have to do a single thing … at all. I toyed with the idea of seeing a movie but, to be honest, I had a hard time getting off the couch. I watched some TV and really put a dent in Valley of the Dolls, the book that I am currently reading:

I have been trying to read this book for the past few weeks, well … for the past few years! It’s been on my book pile forever and I finally got around to reading it. I cannot believe how much I love it. The prose is so well-written, it’s very easy to just get lost in the story. I’m still very early in but I can already understand why this classic book has remained a cult classic for decades.

Tonight The Turtle Party: Book Club meets after much delay … we will FINALLY be discussing Good Omens and should be deciding which book to read next. To be honest, it’ll be great to see the Turtle Party folks again … it’s been too long.
