Boot Luv

According
to the website “This site is dedicated to the many celebrity women
around the world, wearing boots.” In essence, the site collects images
of female celebrities who have worn boots either in their day to day
life or in scenes from their TV shows of movies. Do I smell a leather
freak? (shades of the Avengers’ Mrs. Gale/Peel). The image collection is
arranged alphabetically by celebrity name. The images are displayed in
thumbnail format, but you only need to click on a thumbnail image to get
a larger view and closer look at the boots worn by the various
celebrities in the website

Female Celebrity Smoking List - Keeps track of scenes in
movies and TV when an actress smokes cigarettes, cigars, etc. The
website author apparently enjoys watching people smoke as in this sample
review from a 1985 "TWILIGHT ZONE episode "Button, Button" with Mare
Winningham where he observes "She chain-smokes throughout, primarily to
define her 'bitch' character. Her smoking is good, with many shots of
her dangling, lighting-up and puffing (though few of her exhaling), but
her character is so unattractive that it's difficult to fully enjoy it."
So, if you're into Tobacco or you just need some examples of when and
where smoking occurs on the big and little screen (TV) then this site
can be useful. The site also features a section called "Smoking from all
Sides" that offers links to sites that cover both the "pro" and the
"con" issues of smoking.
