JUNE JUANICO DESCRIBING HOW IT FELT TO BE KISSED BY ELVIS IN 1955/1956

They talked in the car for a while, and then he wanted to go for a walk. He took her hand, and there was just enough moonlight that she could watch for the cracks in the pier’s old boards so her high heels wouldn’t get stuck. Suddenly, he stopped. He turned her around so he was behind her and slipped his hands around her waist and kissed her neck. She felt a shock of electricity, and squirmed, but he promised he wouldn’t hurt her. He kissed her tenderly, first her forehead, and each eye, then her nose, and finally her lips. She kissed him back in a way that had a future in it. "Where did you learn to kiss?" he asked, surprised at her passion. "I was just getting ready to ask you the same thing!" she said, and she still remembers what it was like: "Soft, full lips. Nothing too sloppy. Oh! It was just marvelous, a little pecking here and there, a nibble, and then a serious bite. "It started small, and then got bigger, and then went little again before ending up with a lot of eye contact."

[Video Description/transcript: Over a blurred background is a cutout image of Joe Thornton holding a sign reading "Describe Jumbo." The image disappears and the background unblurs to reveal the Chelsea Piers East Rink as members of the Sharks organization walk past and others practice on the ice. As they walk past, people look down then speak to the videographer, implying there's a sign with a prompt.

Nico Sturm: He's got a nice beard. Fabian Zetterlund: Goat. Beard. Legend. Jeff Ulmer: Beard. Ty Dellandrea, following after Ulmer: Sniper. Loud. Macklin Celebrini: Life of the Party. Mikael Granlund: Really good hockey player. Jack Thompson, following Granlund: Exciting. Fun. Thomas Speer, with someone saying "Say beauty" in the background: Beauty. Henry Thrun: Funny. Ryan Warsofsky: Comedian. Vitek Vanecek, getting close up to the camera: Best guy. Mario Ferraro: Makes a high pitched "aaah" sound as he walks by Alex Wennberg, smiling: Oh, beauty. That's a great one. Jan Rutta: Very nice and funny human being. Tyler Toffoli: Animal. Jake Walman: Awesome guy. Barclay Goodrow: Bearded legend. Timothy Liljegren: Jumbo's the most positive guy I've ever met. Never have a bad day. Mackenzie Blackwood (next to Kunin with the camera focused on Luke Kunin then moving to him): Big beard. He's a fun guy. Luke Kunin (at first copying Blackwood then adding on): He's a fun guy, oh! Legend. Mario Ferraro, again: Repeats the same high pitched sound as previous. Cody Ceci: Unbelievable career. Great player. Givani Smith: Oh, just a great person. Brian Wiseman: Huge personality, infectious energy, and a legend. William Eklund: The. Goat. That's two words. Klim Kostin: Real gangster. Will Smith: Um. Fun and energetic. Dan Rusanowsky: Joe Thornton is one of the greatest people I've ever met in the game of hockey. A kind man, a real team player, and one of the greatest championship type personalities I've ever known. Carl Grundstrom: Great.

The starting image of Joe Thornton reappears, this time filling the entire screen, and the video ends.]

Ganadora del Oscar a mejor banda sonora y premiada con un Goya a mejor película europea, The Full Monty se ha ganado un puesto en las películas clásicas de comedia.

Recuerdo haberla visto de pequeña y las carcajadas de mi madre, esa risa que tiene tan contagiosa que hizo que disfrutara de la película aunque ciertas cosas no las acababa de entender.

La semana pasada la volví a ver, desde el siglo pasado que no la he vuelto a ver y la verdad es que su sencillez hace que pases un buen rato en el sofá. Tiene sus puntos cómicos en una época en que la crisis laboral y económica era el día a día.

Cada personaje tiene su pequeña historia y son tan distintos entre ellos, que juntos hacen un equipo excepcional. Muy divertida, entretenida, amena, sencilla y muy noble. Totalmente recomendada, ya que es de los géneros (o el que más) más difíciles de producir porque hacer reír a la gente no es nada fácil.

Dadle una oportunidad.

I believe to my core Mr. William Speer's portraits of Elvis Presley are THE BEST ONES ever. I highly appreciate all of Elvis' photographers, each one with their singular Elvis moments frozen in time, but those Speer portraits are GLORIOUS!

Mr. William Speer's eyes on Elvis look like God's vision to me. I imagine God molding a new creature from the scratch, out of clay and everything. At the end of the day, when admiring his masterpiece, that is what God must have seen once he was done creating Elvis Presley. I'll cherish those portraits forever.

July, 1955 - Elvis at the Speer Studio in Memphis, Tennessee. Mr. Speer ran his Memphis studio, which was located across the street from Crump Stadium, at 1330 Linden Ave, for circa 30 years. That's where the Elvis pictures were taken. This photo shoot was arranged by Elvis' then manager, Bob Neal, so they could have more promotional pictures of him. Elvis himself choose the particular pictures he liked best - and no, he didn't like those shirtless ones. Haha. What a shy guy! In total, 11 wonderful pictures were taken at this photo session. 11 wonderful pictures was all it took. Mr. Speer was a master in his craft. Many other Hollywood stars slipped quietly into Memphis over the years to have their pictures taken by Mr. Speer.

Photographer William Speer was eventually inducted into the Tennessee Photographers Hall of Fame in 1990 and the International Photographers Hall of Fame in 2003. Those interviews with him speaking on Elvis' photo shoot and his long successful career are just priceless: ♥

"The reason I got into this photography business wasn't the money, believe it or not. It was because I believed in giving people something that would be living with them forever... well, as long as they were living. And I've ran into people that I photographed, 50 years later, who said "I still have those pictures of yours up on the wall!" and that's the greatest compliment I can get. The money they gave me is gone, it's spent, and nobody knows where it went. But those pictures I still remember, and they do too." — William Speer, renowned Memphis, Tennessee, Photographer.

Mr. Speer recalled Elvis as "the most electric person" he'd ever photographed." ⚡
