Lucy In Disguise With Diamonds.

I bet you'll never guess who this is! If you guess it right away, then la-dee-freaking-da. But if you don't, don't feel bad. It took me a minute of staring at these pics before I had to accept the fact that it wasn't a drag queen.

It's Kathy Griffin! No, seriously, it's Kathy Griffin. Doing what every celebrity does at some point to either jump-start their sagging career or as a wacky act of doing something "unique"-the Bettie Page/pinup photo shoot. Photography done by Mike Ruiz, who is totally brill with a camera. I loove his work, it's very moody and sometimes dark and sometimes retro, but all done very well. You can check out his portfolio on his website Mike Ruiz Photography.

And I'm not hatin' on Kathy. I used to really like her back in the day when she was just a nerdy girl doing her nerdy thang, and didn't shove in your face how "D-list" she is, like she does know. We get it, Kathy, you're a slightly crappy actress and comedienne. You know how we know that? Because you tell us every chance you get how you're a slightly crappy actress and comedienne. (Though I'm slightly annoyed for having the exact same hair as me!) If she hasn't been airbrushed to death then her body rocks and the pics are pretty damn good! Still, at the end of the day, "Kathy Griffin" and "sexy, lingerie photo shoot" go together about as well as "scrape my eyes with a fork" and "lemon juice."

  1. Please tell me Bettie never posed on a nasty red vinyl pouffe-thing! Surely she was way more classy than that.
    And as for the hair...I'm guessing your is real(!), whereas KG's is nasty red monofibre?
    Me-I love red, it's one of my favourite colours!! (Honest)

  5. Me too! I knew that was Kathy G.....But- certainly did not think that she was doing the pin up era justice...yes - the hair- and I thought she SLIGHTLY looked like Julie Newmar in her Cat woman Daze! (lol)
    There must be a better wig company!

  6. I have no idea who this woman is so I looked her up! I have to say she REALLY looked like a drag queen a rarely womanly shaped on but still a drag queen, I would not have released these pics if I were her!!
