Birthday Venus: Stella Stevens

Today is a rather significant birthday for Agent Triple P and so, to celebrate, here is Stella Stevens (or Estelle Caro Eggleston as she was born) from January 1960. We have to say that it's not one of Playboy's more imaginative poses and it doesn't give poor Stella any way to present her body in the most flattering way. However, at the time she was 5'5" and 37-22-36 and Agent Triple P thinks she looks rather fetching; especially given her rather good posterior.

Stella in The Ballad of Cable Hogue

Stella has had a long career as a, largely, B movie actress but Triple P remembers her best in Sam Peckinpah's The Ballad of Cable Hogue (1970) (Triple P remembers the excitement at school the next day after her bath time frolic had been shown on prime time TV), the first Matt Helm film The Silencers (1966) and The Poseidon Adventure (1972).

Spanish Venus: Penelope Cruz

Agent Triple P has no reason to post this picture (although it has taken ages to find this particular image) whatsoever other than it is our favourite film related image of the moment: Penelope Cruz in Nine (2009) where she plays a burlesque dancer.

Hooray for Hollywood!

Snowy Venuses

It's snowy today in Agent Triple P's garden and several of our statues have been nearly buried! We think they look rather good!

Slovenian Venus: Alenka Bikar

Alenka from the front

A long time ago Agent Triple P was not a bad sprinter. OK at 100 metres and 200 meters but Southern Counties standard at 400m. As a result, even though we have largely become disillusioned with athletics due to the inability of the governing body to really root out illegal substances, we do still enjoy watching the sprints at the major Games. We are even contemplating attending the 2012 Olympic sprints in London.

Now we're talking

Attractive (to Agent Triple P anyway) women athletes are rare and are more likely to be found in events like pole vault, high jump and long jump (for some reason). However, a well toned body can (pace Agent DVD) make up for a slightly lower than average scoring face. If that body part is a posterior then we would argue that it can more than make up for it.

On your marks...

No-one demonstrates this more than Slovenian sprinter Alenka Bikar. She is pretty short for a sprinter at just 5'4". Now 34, she was born in Ljubljana, a city Triple P has visited several times and one where he can vouch for the attractiveness of the women. Not quite World class (unlike, say, Agent Triple P's favourite Merlene Ottey) nevertheless between 1997 and 2005 she got some pretty good results: Silver for the 200m at the European Indoor Championship in 2000, 6th in the Indoor and Outdoor World Championships the following year and, her only international title, gold in the 200 at the 2005 Mediterranean Games.

But it is Alenka's posterior rather than her sporting achievements whch we celebrate today. Quite simply she has one of the best rears we have ever seen in track and field.

Alenka Wiggles

This did not go unnoticed by bored stadium cameramen; as the above clip delightfully demonstrates.

So we wish Alenka a happy birthday for this Thursday and may she wiggle for many years.

Centrefold Venus of the Month 7: Tamara Santerra, December 1969

Well, we have just managed to sneak in our December centrefold before the end of the month. Agent Triple P considered a number of possibilities for this slot but given the amount of time we have left ourselves we didn't really have time to do the one we wanted (Cheryl Rixon).

However, Cheryl's story was more involved than we had time to do it justice so instead we have simply jumped back forty years to Tamara Santerra.

This pictorial appeared in UK Penthouse Volume 4 number 11 which was the December 1969 issue.  She appeared as the US Pet of the Month in the February 1970 issue.

 

Although Triple P is not really a bust man he does think that Tamara has the most perfect pair of chocolate dipped nipples!

Photographer Bill Crespinell was not a Penthouse regular but we think that he must have fallen in love with Tamara's bottom as well!

Crespinel was an American photographer who had also shot the centrefold for Playboy's Playmate of the Month for July 1961. Sheralee Conners.  He also shot for magazines like Pageant, Swank and Escapade in the early sixties.





According to the text accompanying her pictorial, she was 5'7" tall and a rather awe-inspiring 37-22-36.

She was just nineteen at the time the pictures were taken.

This final picture of Tamara is very much Triple P's favourite. Really big hips! A perfect ending for 2009!

If there are two things Agent Triple P likes it is dark Latin women and girls with nice bottoms. Tamara, who was actually Argentinean, combines the two perfectly.

Christmas Venus

A Merry Christmas to all our readers!
