Laetitia Casta Gallery (Photos & Video)

2009-11-28T16:49:00.004Z

Laetitia Casta is a French model and actress. And, yes, she sure is beautiful! Apparantly she was discovered by a photographer when she was only 15, on a family holiday. All we can say at Beauty Geeks is, 'Thank you Mr. Photogrpaher!'.

After the jump you'll find over 30 laeticia casta pics and videos...enjoy! (Warning: Some nude shots lie within...)

Eva Green Gallery

2009-10-15T18:29:00.002+01:00

Eva Green is the stunning French actress, probably best known for her role as Vesper in Casino Royale. However, although she is gorgeous in that film (you can see some pics of her from that after the jump, actually), fans of Beaty Geeks would probably enjoy watching her in The Dreamers.

Check out our beautiful Eva Green pics after the jump!

Stunning, huh? If you enjoyed these Eva Green pictures, you'll probably enjoy our Beautiful Actresses and Beautiful Models sections too.

Katie Downes Gallery

2009-10-05T08:27:00.007+01:00

Katie Downes is a model from the UK, and totally deserving of a place on Beauty Geeks. A pint-sized Liverpudlian (she's only 4ft11, bless her), what she doesn't have in height she more than makes up for in beauty: a gorgeous face, and one hell of a body!

Check out our Katie Downes pics after the jump!

Beautiful Music: Xuefei Yang

2009-09-30T07:46:00.000+01:00

Xuefei Yang is an amazing classical guitarist from China - and I'm going to see her in concert on Friday! Really can't wait - just listen to her play 'Sevilla' above, it's just beautiful. I'll include some more of her performances after the jump.

Beautiful TV: Ed

2009-09-28T08:06:00.007+01:00

Ed was an amazing, heart-warming comedy-drama that aired between 2000 - 2004. Starring Tom Cavanagh and Julie Bowen, it told the story of Ed Stevens, a New York lawyer who loses his job, and finds out his wife is cheating on him, all on the same day.

So, he does what any man would do in this situation - goes back to his home town of Stuckeyville, buys a bowling alley, and falls in love (all over again) with his high-school crush.

Ed was (and is) a truly beautiful series, featuring riduculously grand romantic gestures (including the time when Ed wears a full-blown suit of armour!), life-affirming stories, beautiful friendships, laugh-out-loud hilarity, and, even though I've said it before in this same sentence, pure romance.

It was such a shame when they decided to finish this fantastic series, and an even bigger shame that they still haven't released any DVDs (and I'm not sure they ever will).

I've included the promo for the first series of Ed below, and, if you're interested, you can browse Stuckeyville.com for lots more Ed-related goodness.

Beautiful Songs: Decode by Paramore (Acoustic)

2009-09-19T14:53:00.001+01:00

This is a gorgeous song in its own right, but the above live acoustic version is just incredible. Hayley Williams' vocals are amazing! How on earth does someone so slight have such a powerful voice? Sit back and enjoy this piece of audio beauty!

Taylor Swift Gallery

2009-09-16T07:54:00.002+01:00

I'm not even going to go into the whole Taylor/Kanye debacle, other than to say that it's going to have a much better effect on the beautiful Taylor Swift's career rather than on that ugly Kanye's one.

Many examples of Taylor Swift's gorgeousness is below...

I didn't even know who she was before this whole furore - and I'm now very glad I do! That's why this is going to actually be fantastic for Swift's career. I even like her music:

Beautiful Songs: Glycerine by Bush

2009-09-14T08:12:00.004+01:00

'Glycerine' is from Bush's debut album, Sixteen Stone, and is a truly beautiful song. That palm-muted guitar, so simple, yet so effective; a haunting melody, and, of course, Gavin Rossdale's awesome voice.

A British band virtually shunned in their homeland, yet adored in America, Bush are one of my all-time favourite bands.

Must be your skin that I'm sinkin in
Must be for real cause now I can feel
and I didn't mind
it's not my kind
not my time to wonder why
everything's gone white
and everything's grey
now your here now you away
I don't want this
remember that
I'll never forget where your at
don't let the days go by
glycerine

I'm never alone
I'm alone all the time
are you at one
or do you lie
we live in a wheel
where everyone steals
but when we rise it's like strawberry fields

If I treated you bad
you bruise my face
couldn't love you more
you got a beautiful taste
don't let the days go by
could have been easier on you
I coudn't change though I wanted to
could have been easier by three
our old friend fear and you and me
glycerine (repeat)
don't let the days go by
glycerine

I needed you more
when we wanted us less
I could not kiss just regress
it might just be
clear simple and plain
that's just fine
that's just one of my names
don't let the days go by
could've been easier on you
glycerine

Beautiful Books: Holes by Louis Sachar

2009-09-08T20:39:00.006+01:00

Holes, by Louis Sachar, made me cry. Yes, I am a grown man. And, no, I don't cry easily. But this beautiful novel made me shed more than a single tear, I can tell you. If you haven't read it, then I won't spoil it by saying the tears came from sadness or joy - but know that you should stop reading this, and go find Holes to read right away to find our for yourself!

It is an absolutely beautiful book, a coming-of-age novel that celebrates friendship, courage, kindness and life itself. Full of diverse and unique characters, it tells the story of a juvenile correction centre, where the young delinquents are forced to dig a hold every day in the the boiling desert sun. What they find there - and what they find out about themselves - is a thing of beauty.

Holes was also made into a film, hence the poster above, but I haven't seen it so can't vouch for its beauty!

Beautiful Songs: Falling In Love by NOFX

2009-09-07T08:50:00.004+01:00

Yes, they are a punk band - a classic punk band, at that - which most people don't associate with 'beauty', but I think there's lots of beauty in NOFX's songs, and in particular this track.

Firstly, the music. I love the drum intro - that's pretty beautiful in itself. And then those awesome octave guitar chords after the first verse - gorgeous. The melody is beautiful, too.

And then we have the lyrics, which I'll paste below. Short, sweet - beautiful. Pretty lovely for a punk band, huh?

Blast oxygen masks, smoke filled cabin
Depressurize, don't be afraid, hold onto me
We're goin down, but not our love

Death don't seem so bad, when I'm with you
My only love, so close your eyes
Kiss me one last time,
We're gonna die, but not our love, not our love

This awesome song is the final track on NOFX's album, 'So Long and Thanks For All The Shoes'.

Princess Madeleine Gallery

2009-09-04T08:50:00.008+01:00

With the world reeling from the news that Princess Madeleine of Sweden is no longer single, (well, actually, I'd never heard of her - had you?), I thought it was my duty to seek out more info, and see if she was worthy of a post on Beauty Geeks.

And, guess what? She sure is!

Beautiful Architecture: Castles

2009-09-02T08:50:00.006+01:00

I fell in love with castles from an early age, when my parents took me to see some of the amazing North Wales castles. So I've managed to see some of these 'in the flesh' - but I wish I could say I've seen them all! Oh well, just another thing to aim for in life I suppose...

Katy Perry Gallery

2009-08-29T08:50:00.010+01:00

OK, she may not be the world's greatest singer (see our section on beautiful voices for some fantastic vocalists), but she is definitely beautiful! Ever since she burst on to the music scene with her 'I kissed a girl' smash hit, she's been getting more and more exposure. And that's not a bad thing!

By the way, according to Wikipedia, her real name is Katheryn Elizabeth Hudson - interesting, eh?

She has a classicaly beautiful face, and a gorgeous curvy figure - check out these stunning photos:

And, even though I did say her voice isn't the best in the universe, I thought I'd drop in a little extra - a live video. You can turn the sound off if you wish...

Beautiful TV: Sony BRAVIA Advert

2009-08-27T08:50:00.003+01:00

This is a beautiful piece of television, and an advert that we all probably remember. It's such a simple concept too, with thousands of multi-coloured balls bouncing naturally down our man-made streets. The imagery, combined with Jose Gonzalez's gorgeous cover of the song 'Heartbeats' by The Knife, makes for a truly beautiful advert. I couldn't remember what the ad was actually selling - but that's not the point, is it...?

By the way, this is best viewed in high-definition, so make sure to click 'HD' when you watch it above.

Beautiful Songs: Home

2009-08-25T08:50:00.004+01:00

'Home', by Zero 7, is a gorgeous track - a haunting melody, beautifully sung by Tina Dico. Really, the vocals are amazing. I've put two different performances of the song on here, and they've both spectacular. The one above is a full band performance, and below you'll find an acoustic solo. Check them both out, they're just beautiful.

Rachel Weisz Gallery

2009-08-24T08:50:00.009+01:00

Rachel Weisz, who is approaching her 40th birthday in 2010 (unbelievably!), is a beautiful british actress, probably most famous for her roles in The Mummy films. I remember seeing her in the 1997 film Stealing Beauty, starring alongside the also-beautiful Liv Tyler (who will definitely be getting her own feature on the site sometime soon!). Thanks to Gary at fretpoint for suggesting this gorgeous actress.

Weisz has a real elegance about her, and definitely deserves her space on Beauty Geeks - don't you think?

Beautiful Songs: The Bends

2009-08-21T08:50:00.005+01:00

Although I could just as easily be talking about Radiohead's entire album, I am actually referring to the title track itself - 'The Bends' is an awesome, beautiful, soaring song. That descending guitar riff, which comes in at 2:03 on the above video, is truly beautiful - simple, yes, but just awesome! The solo at 2:58 is a thing of beauty also.

But it's more than just the guitar work that makes this track stand out - it's a culmination of amazing song-writing, Thom Yorke's beautiful vocals, and, as this video proves, a sense of power that emanates from the entire band.

What do you think? Do you agree? Think it's awful? Leave a comment below and let me know!

Beautiful Music: The E.T. Theme

2009-08-19T08:50:00.003+01:00

Not only does this tune take me back to my childhood, but it is so full of hope and wonder that it never fails to make me feel uplifted. Written by the amazing John Williams, the main theme to the 1982 film 'E.T.' (wow, was it really that long ago?) is a masterclass in composition - I challenge you to listen and not find it beautiful!

Beautiful Art: MS Paint Drawings

2009-08-18T08:50:00.004+01:00

Matti Nikki from Muzzy.net has created these beautiful images, using only his mouse and MS Paint! Now, I don't know about you, but I can't even draw a circle using my mouse! It's amazing that these drawings can be done free-hand; a truly remarkable talent. I love them so much that I've used one as my 'geek' image - thanks, Matti!

Aren't these drawings beautiful! You can see more at Matti's website.
