Rule 5 Sunday: Mapy Cortes

Later, she would […]

Rule 5 Monday: Annabella Sciorra

– compiled by Wombat-socho It seems somewhat appropriate to turn our spotlight on Annabella Sciorra, since she was one of the major witnesses against show biz rapist Harvey Weinstein.

Rule 5 Sunday: Emma Watson

Rule 5 Monday: Stacey Dash

– compiled by Wombat-socho This week’s appetizer is Stacey Dash, actress and occasional conservative pundit, because it’s her birthday and I lacked inspiration. It’s also Buzz Aldrin’s birthday, but I think you’ll agree he’s well past his beefcake days, even if he can still punch out the occasional obnoxious idiot. Ninety Miles From Tyranny leads […]

Rule Five Sunday: Texans Cheerleaders

Rule 5 Sunday: New Year Double Scoop Delight!
