04/27/2007: "Weekend Eye Candy - Who Cares Who She Is Edition"

Looking for the right girl for the Weekend Eye Candy postings is a lot like marlin fishing. Sure, I have my favorite spots - places where I've found success before - but every once in a while I get a blind strike. This week is one of those.

I was cruising the internet and stumbled across this picture. Needless to say, I was stopped in my tracks. But when I saw the name, I realized I had no idea who this person was. Apparently, she's famous for something, or she wouldn't be getting attention. Thank God for Wikipedia ...

Abigail Clancy, also known as Abi Clancy or Abbey Clancy, is an English Lingerie and glamour model who made headlines during the 2006 FIFA World Cup as the girlfriend of England Football star Peter Crouch. In 2006 she appeared as a contestant on Living TV's Britain's Next Top Model but only came second, despite being favoured to win. Since appearing on the show Abigail has modelled for Maxim magazine (December 2006), Nuts magazine (November 2006), OK! magazine, GQ magazine (August 2006), The Sun newspaper, the Daily Star newspaper, Sugar magazine and is the new face and body of Pussy Glamore’s winter lingerie collection alongside Elizabeth Jagger in photos shot by Bryan Adams.

Clancy has recently filmed a fly on the wall series for Living TV in Los Angeles which follows her attempts to crack the LA modelling scene, guided by Janice Dickinson who acts as her mentor.

OK, let's see if I have it. She's a British reality TV star who gained fame by being the booty call for a football star, and now she's coming to LA looking for her big break.

Great ... just what we need - another waitress ...

Well, she may or may not find success in Hollywood, but for one shining moment, she's the star as our Weekend Eye Candy!

well it is a darn' sight better than having a picture of Peter Crouch up there.

Lanky or gawky are words that shuffle to mind (and he makes Dennis Rodman look good by comparison)

That water looks as though it could be cold !

At least this one doesn't look like last week's "ELVIRA" lookalike!

Good weekend Roger/Stan!

There's this one on "NCIS".....the brunette. Not the wacky forensic one....the one that carries the gun....."Cote de Pablo"?

My moniker would change to "Ho Boy!"

Alo......bye!

At least she has a semblance of a tan, which is saying a whole lot for a Brit.

I agree, the water does look cold, but that was on my third review of the photo.

Looks good.

Hey ! I like the wacky forensic one (Abi) !

Though come to think of it, it's not the appearance - it is the character & confidence that I like - so she'd never count as "eye candy"...even if you like pig-tails

On Monday, April 30th, "eye candy" is the topic said:

"Character"....."Confidence".....

BORING..........
