What is “ice-hot”? Is that like when you go to Pettirosso and they forgot to brew the iced tea and they give you hot tea in a glass full of ice—i.e., ice soup? January Jones is the ice soup of blondes?

  1. I haven’t seen that X-Men movie, but maybe it has to do with her mutant powers?

    She has an androgynous face in that picture.

  2. What – throw it out and ruin his fantasies of January spanking his skinny ass while he sits on the shitter and spanks his little monkey? I don’t think he wants to do that.

  3. Ice hot is so cold it burns.

    The idea (meh.) is that her character is so icy cold and distant that you can’t avoid being swept up by her – and burned.

    Again, meh.

  4. If you put it under ridiculous amounts of pressure, you can get solid water at temperatures that would melt rocks.

    @10: Shut up, you newfag.

  5. Thank you, @12. I started to write a comment about that and backed off.

    She became a success because of the costumes in Mad Men and her blankness worked for a repressed homemaker. It never ever was good acting though.

  6. go to mt. rainier on a sunny day, climb up into the snow, find a long, steep slope with a nice safe run out, and slide down on your ass wearing shorts. use your hiking poles to steer. when you get to the bottom, you will feel as if your ass is on fire, but it will be, in fact, ice hot.

    @20: Birgit Nielsen.

  7. @20 thank you! Something was bugging me about that photo, and you’ve put your finger on it. Brigitte Nielsen, more recently of Celebrity Rehab with Dr. (“Not in the Butt, Plz”) Drew.

  8. Grace Jones brow on Bridget Nielson’s body. Lame eighties photography techniques, why would you keep it around your house? Why does it take Seattlites so long to take obvious actions?

  9. @26: And she’d be so privileged to have your dick in her. I’ll bet she’d crawl ten miles on broken glass just to have a chance to be fucked by you.

    Hah…that stuck in my mind as well!

    She totally knows how to do the lingerie.

    Sad to see her “transformed” by the fashion industry in this way…

  12. january jones is awful. I saw her on the daily show and it was easily the most tedious interview I’ve ever seen on there. she had nothing even remotely interesting to say.

  13. She’s stunningly beautiful, especially with those Mad Men costumes and lighting. But unless she’s playing a repressed housewife, she’s just an empty canvas.

    They thought they had Grace Kelly, instead they got Tippi Hedren.
