XXX 30 Porn-Star Portraits

over the weekend I was at Barns and Noble, looking for a new How to draw Manga book for my collection, I came across a book that I just had to have:
XXX 30 Porn-Star Portraits
you might have heard of it, released in 2004

as I flipped through it, my first thought was:
"this could be a great drawing reference!"
it is a portrait book, not remotely pornagraphic at all
see what is cool about the book is how the portraits are set up
each individual has two portraits set up as a 2-page spread
on the left looks like they just walked in off the street:
-fully clothed
-casual / everyday clothes
-some of the females just have their hair pulled back/no makeup
-some a fairly casual pose

on the right naked people:
-usually made up/hair done/makeup
but this is what is cool
-same pose

I think it is interesting to see how the clothes
effect the look of the body
then just the emotion in the face
how it changes slightly, depending on which is more comfortible

I was surprized how many names I knew....even though I have never watched a porn video. some I know from comedians, some from bravo [jenna jameson, seen her there], finally the trey parker movie Orgazmo thats where I have seen Ron Jeremy before.

it is a good book.
