Thanks Nefertiti - old stuff, but always so great to look at PS from such a mediterranenan (and rather common ?) young girl, to the world-acclaimed diva: credit also to her exceptional talent

It is not Ines's soul I am speaking of, but yours and mine ands all the other humans', and how they have been transformed by that girl. What Ines brought to all of us is a sense of indescriptible beauty - just as Bach did in his time with his music etc etc etc - . Personally, I like this quasi-philosophical idea that such perfection could exist at least once at some time and some place of the Universe , I guarantee that after that you look positively at all matters ! Of course, as this is pure concept, no risk it fades with time _ a structural advantage over your position, in which you seem stuck at Ines' sheer physical appearance, hem yes, those are the aging legs of your goddess: ) Best

Hello PA Nice to see you here again ! Well, I perfectly understand that, as you worship Ines as a goddess, the iconoclasts (proprio sensu) :evil: :evil: like me indeed should refrain Personally, my deep respect to Ines stems from all the positive things her beauty was able to inspire to me - which indeed is something quite different from sheer icon adoration ! So, I feel relaxed about her small defaults (if any), esp. on candid pics. Yes she should stop NOW the Botox, yes a few excess lbs. do not help, yes she smokes ways too much and that ruins her skin, but actually who cares ? What is in your soul is important, not what you see on the pics. Cheers

Undoubtedly she is one of the most memorable model of all times - and not only for her grace - Cheers PS that was on September 13, 2009 - 3 days ago [attachment =867812:Deuville_3.jpg]

I can't resist adding this one - probably the most marvelous that Ines will ever offer us PS Is she actually lying in dust ? That sand seems awful

As usual, she massively radiates grace and presence - nonetheless IMHO there actually seems to be sthg subtly broken in her...(btw, this makes her even more moving) Cheers With some others at Sotogrande, later in the month - perhaps after some diet ? :evil: :evil: :evil: PS now what the hell is she doing on that sh.....y beach ? Mud, dark sand, stones, and populace

For sure not in 1990 look at her amazing grace at the time Seriously, that was on July 7, 2009 Sadly, one must admit that time flying by is merciless for women beyond 30....

Oh, that would be so nice - thnks in advance Btw, here some pics of Ines at Sotogrande in Spain - ahem, yes that's her... For the first time, there seems to be something wrong with her body- possibly too much pasta ? too much smoke ? too many boyfriends ? :evil:

Well, if he is a friend, he certainly would not refuse to scan another few pages for you, would he ? That would be really fantastic - F. Beigbeder is one of the finest connoisseurs of the Paris jet set, and he has reasonable talent enough to write sthg serious about Ines.... Cheers

Wow, wonderful !!! Is there some way that you also scan the interview from F. Beigbeder (I can read French) ? He must have lots to say about Ines..... Cheers

Yes she is supremely cute - more than anything one could think of

I would agree with you - her body is not exactly up to her face - of course she is not badly built (to say the least), but nothing equal to the absolutely unique appeal of her eyes, cheeks, smile, hair, neck, nose etc. Cheers

You mean, actual vs photoshopped pic ? :evil: Cheers

Fat... ...and slim And mediterranean yes she is, oh, how magnificently different from all those standardized blondes.... Now for the movies she still has some progress to do - to be honest most of her roles were total failures - poor Ines :evil:

Well, "interesting".....that was only my 2 cents And what about your own rationale, Nefertiti ? Actually I'd be interested to compare how women and males do perceive Ines. I understand that for some males here it is only a matter of sexual appeal ( ), for some others (eg myself) it is because she radiates so many things beyond her sheer appearance - but for women ? Cheers

Well, definitely yes, in some occasions you can see that she went a bit far on the pasta (who could blame her however). :evil: Eg, look at her pics, winning the Elite trophy in 1989: she was cute, for sure, but nothing astonishing (btw. how clever was Elite's manager Casablancas to envision so early the potential of Ines) , - and a bit podgy uh ? Now I fully admit that after a serious diet she may appear very very very slim (and then you can see it on her pics) That's also what I love in Ines: amazing grace, and lovely imperfections. Cheers

She has so many facets - at some times (well, rather often ) the most delicate classic beauty - but sometimes also a hairy and almost fatty chick, sometimes a kind of a gothic vamp, sometimes a laughing horse...... Well, that's Ines after all.

Thanks Nefertiti for the 2006 12 Elle's supplement for Lancome - Her grace and style are just astonishing

For sure this pic will not contradict you - Just stunning How can God make such grace ?

Well, let's be frank - Ines is wonderful, BUT: 1) "Ta Main" is an absolute disaster. 2) Thanks Gisties for the Elle Espana pages - but don't you think there is some undefinable, but very actual, change in her smile and look ? I mean, while being still a splendid woman, her unique charm and grace seems to have simply vanished...(NB that was already obvious in her Zapa pics.) 3) Sad for Ines, not to be present at Cannes as a recognized movie player. Hence so many front pages. Ah, and are there only woman here to be interested by Ines ? That would be somewhere a compliment to her beauty - too delicate to be perceived by the majority of males ? Ciao

!! No comment.

Well, I do not know so many women who at 35 are still in a position to be on the frontpage _ young beauties are a commodity after all So, another tribute to Ines' insurpassable class .

Nice, uh ? But aging now.

Amazing how even top models look ugly besides her !

And now the angel's decay. 12 years later than Antonioni, here comes Avati with La Cena per Farli Consocere. Ah Ines, smoking and night-clubbing come at a cost !
