Girls and cars

,

Beside cold beers there are two other things that men love, hot girls and hot cars. Both Playboy and car companies seems to have realised this and ever since 1964 they have been giving away cars to playmates of the year. Of course not before some nice pictures were made I suppose p

Lucky as I am, I came across a website that has a picture gallery with almost all the girls with their cars. No, I wasn't looking for anything dirty, and no I didn't find anything dirty. Just some delightful pictures from past to present containing pure beauty! bigsmile
But please judge for yourself. Check out this Plymouth Barracuda Fastback from 1966 for example together with '67 playmate Lisa Baker:


And what about this cool Volvo awarded to Marilyn Cole?


Some of you may know that I am quite a fan of the Jaguar XJ-S. I know a lot of people hated this car and still do. Also it seems to be a unreliable car and it consumes as much fuel BP looses in the oceans these days. Nevertheless I love it! I love the lines of the car, it doesn't shout “I'm a supercar!”, but with its V12 it is. You can drive it dressed in your smoking or in jeans. It's elegant and still sportive and bold. And best of all this is a dream car that is realistic to own some day! I mean sure I like an Austin Martin too, but its very unlikely I'll ever be able to afford one.
Enough with praising the Jaguar. The point is, I was very glad to find the car was included in the list! And guess what not once, but three times this car was given to a playmate!

I now love this car even more! bigsmile

Of course by now you want to see the full list of pictures! Just get yourself a cold beer and check it at Jalopnik.com!
Which is your favourite one?



PS. Posting this now on the middle of the night (not that it is unusual for me), since just when I wanted to post this earlier tonight the power went down. Luckily I was working on a laptop so I could save my text (pfew, but of course there is also MyOpera autosave up ). But still there was nothing left to do but go to sleep. Just now the lights went back on again, and it woke me up, so I thought I better finish posting smile

starting the new week

, ,

Well a fresh week tomorrow. I'm really planning to get doing something for a change this week. I feel confident that it will going to work this time, finally. I still have to do some work for my studies, this is not a lot of work, but it just has to be done. Than there is this job I wanted to search, of which I did write some day ago. I want to try to get something at an advertising agency. I like graphic design and commercial thinking. It really is something else, but I have some feeling for graphic design I guess and I'm quite familiar with web design/development. I guess my general education is high enough and I'm smart enough to be of some value to an agency I think. Well I'll guess I just see where it ends up.

I just like to see something else, get a broader view of my possibilities and find out what I really like. Maybe after working in advertising for a while I while run away screaming, but that's just something to find out.

So I'm going to collect a small portfolio this week and start applying! At least that's the plan. I really have no idea what to expect, so it would be a nice experience.

In the mean time a made this sketch of a very underrated car IMO which many people dislike, but I love it! The Jaguar XJ-S. The older models are best (in terms of looks anyway, I guess newer models will drive better).
