This Week’s Best Comment Belonged To…

James! Not the witch-burning English king whose reign saw the flowering of Elizabethan literature. And not the first century Bishop of Palestine and step-brother of Jesus Christ. No, it’s the guy whose response to part 3 of Mr Skin’s Top 100 nude scenes of all time contained this appreciative remark about naked Amy Smart’s bare behind.”

I loved it more when Amy Smart finally showed that beautiful backside in Mirrors. It seems that actresses are showing their rears instead of their fronts, that's even better for us. The more butts the merrier. As long as they're female.

Mr Skin couldn’t have said it butter himself, James. You just won yourself a free 3-day pass to MrSkin.com, where you can ogle all the bare butts of Amy Adams, Farrah Fawcett, Tera Patrick, Anna Paquin, Jessica Biel, and even Leighton Meester in a thong!

In fact, you might want to check out this Top Ten list of butt-only scenes we compiled at the beginning of this year.

Don’t spank it all in one place!

A Tribute to a True Icon of Skin

Nominated for five Golden Globes and the proud owner of two of the finest golden globes ever to grace Jiggle TV, pin-up queen and celebrated actress Farrah Fawcett finally succumbed to cancer today and Mr Skin is in mourning.

In the 1970s, Farrah started popping eyes with her popping nipples, which seemed about to burst out of whatever slinky top she was wearing during her reign on the original Charlie's Angels TV series.

Then those same ever-stiff nips turned her iconic picture into one of the best-selling pinup posters in history.

A Tender Moment

“A new star graces that firmament we can’t quite reach,” porn star Georgina Spelvin wrote in response to the news of her friend, 56-year-old porn legend Marilyn Chambers, nude in dozens of movies, who died Easter Sunday.

It takes a special kind of lady to make a box of soap dirty. And that lady was the one and only Golden Age porn star Marilyn Chambers, formerly the face of Ivory Soap and later the star of the X-rated classic Behind the Green Door and David Cronenberg’s fright flick Rabid.

When the wholesome, spokesmodel-esque Marilyn walked into the audition for the 1972 flesh-flick Behind the Green Door, she had already acted in the Barbara Streisand comedy The Owl and the Pussycat and the skin-filled 1971 hippie movie Together, directed by Friday the 13th’s Sean S. Cunningham.

Originally, she was to have a non-sex role in Green Door, but the Mitchell Brothers, who directed the movie and were later the subject of the biopic Rated X, talked her into doing her first hardcore scenes, leading to a career of sizzling, taboo-busting, on-screen sex acts.

And she never looked back (unless it was to reach for more lube).

Last Trip Behind the Green Door

In shocking news, Golden Age porn queen Marilyn Chambers was found dead yesterday in her mobile home in Santa Clarita, California.

Once the model pictured on the Ivory Snow box, Chambers rose to fame as the star of the X-rated classic Behind the Green Door in 1972 and went on to be one of porn’s great trailblazers.

Long before the Belladonnas, Sasha Greys, and Dana DeArmonds of the world, Marilyn was shaving her pubes, piercing her genitals, and shoving large objects deep into her rectum.

As late as 2007, she was exploiting her MILF appeal in a series of instructional videos that included Marilyn Chambers Guide to Masturbation and Marilyn Chambers Guide to Anal Sex.

Marilyn, you still had so much to teach us.

Past and Present Pin-Ups Meet Up!

China white skin, black hair topped off with a cap of shiny bangs, a boom-boom bod that makes one weak in the knees. We could be describing dearly departed pinup legend Bettie Page . . . or present-day burlesque queen Dita Von Teese.

Surprisingly, the two were able to meet sometime before Page passed away last week.

According to IMDb:

Von Teese remembers her encounter with the star fondly.

Of their meeting, Von Teese recalls, "She looked me up and down and said, 'You're an attractive girl, but a poor Bettie Page mimic'.

"I said, 'I know' and she laughed."

Forget meeting of the minds, this was a meeting of the bump-and-grinds! And don't miss Dita Von Teese naked in German Playboy!

Iconic Pinup Model Dies at 85

Today, more than 50 years after her career as a pinup model ended, the name and image of Bettie Page are still as well known as ever they were to rockabilly rebels, light bondage enthusiasts, and the women who make up roughly 102% of the fan-base of “burlesque” entertainment.

Yesterday, Bettie made headlines again when she died after her family took her off the life support she had been on since her heart attack earlier this month.

In the 1950s, Bettie had a career as a pinup model, appearing in men’s magazines like Playboy and posing for the nudie pics of “camera club” photographers.

Greetings my friends, and welcome back to Castle Rackula. This week, my flamboyant cousin Count Ballsackula dragged me to go see Twilight. I was impressed by what I saw of Kristen Stewart (can’t wait to see her play lesbian dominatrix Joan Jett), but I think he was more interested in Robert Pattinson.

In the past, Count Ballsackula has dragged me to see Interview with the Vampire, Gayracula, and to Truman Capote’s table at Studio 54.

But I digress. The subject at hand is holiday horror movies, which I will be exploring throughout the month of December.

We will begin with the most notorious of the genre, Silent Night, Deadly Night.

Mr. Skin is deeply saddened by the passing this weekend of one of Chicago’s favorite sons, comedian and TV star Bernie Mac, as well legendary composer, musician, and actor Isaac Hayes.

Mac is best known for his roles in House Party 3, the Spike Lee- produced documentary The Original Kings of Comedy, Ocean’s Eleven, and his hit sitcom, The Bernie Mac Show.

Fans will remember Hayes’s work as the voice of Chef in South Park as well as for his musical accomplishments, most notably the instantly recognizable soundtrack for the blaxploitation classic Shaft. Read more after the jump.
