The Purr-Fect Rene Russo Photoshoot (season 2, episode 1) - Sexy Photoshoot in Mansion, part 1

Pierce, Rene and Jake: the stars of the first part of the photoshoot. 

We’re back people! The second season of The Purr-Fect Rene Russo Photoshoot is full of new stuff. Same team, new international destinations and new guests models for Rene to work with. Who’s excited?


Back to work. Rene and our team did our check-out from San Ysidro Ranch, and we went to our next destination: a beautiful mansion in Venice Beach. Tony Duran prepared a surprise in the way: Ms Russo would appear on both Maxim and Esquire magazines, with 4 male models. Two of them, Pierce Brosnan and Jake Gyllenhaal, will appear on this first part. The other two, Jesse Lee Soffer and Taylor Kinney, both from Chicago franchise, will appear on the second part of the post. 

The team came out to the mansion, and as always, I chose the clothing according to the male model’s profile and personality; Kéla and Shane worked in the makeup, and Tony explained the photoshoot concept. 

While she was dressing, Pierce was the first to come in. He came in with a bunch of flowers, and gave it to her. After that, Rene hugged him, and some minutes later, Pierce took off his shirt, getting ready for the Photoshoot. He lied on the floor, and Rene hides behind the corridor. 

Look 01 

As I said to Rene to come in, she came out in her wildest way, with a bodysuit, a pair of jeans and some jewelry. With her acting, she lied beneath Pierce and turned around. She stretched her legs while unbuttoning her jeans and him hugging Rene. And again, she turned back to Pierce, who took off her jeans, and touched her body. 

Look 02 

While Jake was on his way on the photoshoot, Rene was ready for her second look with Pierce: A leopard print bikini, some beautiful black pants and a peach blazer. And Pierce put on again his shirt, but open.

Ms Russo reincarnated Catherine Banning with this look. Some of her poses express her seductiveness, and in some of the pics, Rene was taking off Pierce’s shirt, and Pierce took off Rene’s blazer, in a sexy moment. They end up their photo time with a kiss. 

We paused a bit and I cooked some meat and pasta for the team, and after that we all took time to revise the pics. They were great. Just then, Jake came in, he rang the doorbell, and I attended him, ready for makeup and styling. 

At the same time, Rene took a glass of water, she changed the next outfit, and retouched the makeup. And we changed the setting into the staircase. 

Look 03. 

Rene came out to Jake and hugged each other. She was with a Gianfranco Ferré white shirt, some stockings and heels, and a leopard print lingerie. I chose this lingerie for Ms Russo because she looooves leopard print, and she looks gorgeous. And Jake was with a open shirt and some jeans (with his Calvin Klein underpants appearing). 

Both sat themselves under the stairs. They looked at each other. In some pics, they were serious, other they were happy, and other were seductive. 

In the last shoots, Rene unbuttoned her shirt and looked to Jake in a powerful way. 

Look 04 

And last but not least, we came into the bedroom. At the moment Rene changed her clothes, Jake took of his shirt. Tony captured the seductive moment of both. In one moment Rene took off her halter top and messed up her hair, showing her sensuality.

To be continued... 

Hope u like it.

My Impressions about Velvet Buzzsaw: the Relationship between Art World and Supernatural

Rene Russo, Jake Gyllenhaal and Zawe Ashton: the main characters of Velvet Buzzsaw.
(photo - Archive)

After a great debut in Nightcrawler, in 2014, Dan Gilroy did a similar version of that movie, now retitled as Velvet Buzzsaw. If Nightcrawler retreated the television world, Velvet Buzzsaw retreats the art world. The movie was great in special effects, screams and obviously, the main cast.

Rene Russo's Rhodora Haze is a mix of two characters made by her: Nina Romina, of Nightcrawler, and Catherine Banning, of Thomas Crown Affair. Rhodora is ambitious, smart, sexy and elegant. Ex-punk rocker, now a gallery owner, along with Josephina (Zawe Ashton), an ambitious gallery worker, Morf (Jake Gyllenhaal), an art critic, and Gretchen (Toni Collette), a consultant, are involved into a painter called Vetril Dease. 

In my opinion, the supernatural part of the movie was inspired on the music video Somewhere I Belong, by California band Linkin Park, in 2003.

Billy Magnussen (Bryson) and Daveed Diggs (Damrish), who were revealed on Law and Order franchise, along with Natalia Dyer (Coco), revealed on the Netflix series Stranger Things, Tom Sturridge (Jon Dondon) and John Malkovich (Piers) are also great, even on small roles. 

Rene Russo in Velvet Buzzsaw: extremely elegant as always.

Dan Gilroy is an L.A. version of also director Martin Scorsese, because he shows a darker version of Los Angeles, and Martin Scorsese shows a darker version of New York City (as shown in Taxi Driver, with Robert De Niro). The only thing missing in Gilroy's movies is a director cameo (like Scorsese and Quentin Tarantino, from Pulp Fiction). 

I hope the next Dan Gilroy movie will be about the fashion world, inspired in the music video Beautiful Girl, by INXS, and starring Jake Gyllenhaal, Rene Russo and one of the past romantic pairs of Rene Russo (more likely Robert De Niro or Pierce Brosnan).

Hope u like it.

Rene Russo's Fashion Lookbook: À La Parisienne !!!

Chanel 19, starring Rene Russo !! Long dresses and pearl necklaces are very inspired in Paris.
(photo - Archive)

Who loves Coco Chanel? Or going to Paris, land of the Eiffel Tower? That's what this post is all about, Paris-inspired looks. And also, last week, there was Paris Fashion Week, with lots of stunning looks. 

Gabrielle "Coco" Chanel had a difficult beginning (just like Rene had). But this beginning and her sewing techniques helped Chanel to inspire the transformation of menswear to amazing womenswear. 

In Thomas Crown Affair, one of Rene Russo's looks was a Paris-inspired look. Similar
to the ad of Channel 19. (photo - MGM Pictures)

Rene Russo loves being chic and she is like a jet-setter lady (since her modeling career!). The two first pics on this post, one for the ad of Chanel n.19 in the 70s and later, on Thomas Crown Affair. In both images, Ms. Russo wears a beautiful long dress and some pearls, and also a beautiful red short hair (made by talented hairstylist Enzo Angileri). Very Coco Chanel-inspired. 

And Rene looks wonderful in lingerie... She wears a babydoll along with a cardigan..
the photo was taken in 1995. (photo - Archive)

Even on Paris, girls love lingerie. It makes then very sexy, and it shows the discret hint of sensuality.  Push-up bras or padded pieces won't be found. Instead, Parisians focus on finding bras and underwear in flattering silhouettes that look good underneath their clothes or even as part of the outfit. A blazer or button-down shirt might be intentionally unbuttoned to show a small glimpse of a lace bra underneath.  

A body or a babydoll, just like Rene is wearing, is just perfect for her. It makes her feel very hot and impressive (specially for men!). 

And even swimsuits are very inspired in Paris... Even though it's vintage,
Rene looks very sexy. (photo - Francesco Scavullo/Vogue)

A swimsuit/bikini is perfect for summer days. The swimsuit Rene Russo is wearing in a Scavullo photoshoot in Peru shows her sensuality, even though it's basic. Parisian girls always avoid swimsuit styles.

And in her recent movie, Velvet Buzzsaw... for Rene Russo, a leopard print
is perfect for her! (photo - Netflix) 

And even on her recent movie, Velvet Buzzsaw (2019), the talented actress loves a beautiful leopard printed blouse. For Rene Russo, this print is just perfect for her, it makes her look very sexy and doesn't look that she's 65, but yes 20 or 25 years younger.

Hope u like it. 

Loveuguys.

The years pass by, and Rene Russo still is a chic and beautiful actress!! From the upcoming film Velvet Buzzsaw, directed by Dan Gilroy, it's a Nightcrawler reunion in the first image. And it was just announced in the lineup at the 2019 Sundance Festival and we're just.... excited !!!!

It is described as a thriller set in the contemporary art world scene of Los Angeles, “where big money artists and mega-collectors pay a high price when art collides with commerce.” The film was produced by Netflix and will debut on the streaming service at some point next year. 

We can't wait to watch this movie!!!

Rene Russo Fashion Special: Rene Russo With Same Outfits in Different Occasions... But without losing the Elegance!

Rene Russo in a photoshoot: she's the lady whom everyone wants to go out with.
(photo credits - Mark Liddell / Getty Images)

Many people ask themselves... "Is it OK to wear the same outfits over and over again?" . For many, it isn't, but for Rene Russo, yes!!! This lovely woman doesn't care if she wears the same outfit, but without losing her elegance. Or style. Anyway, this style inspires lots of women (and girls too!)

Rene Russo, with same leather trousers, in two occasions, in 2003, and in 2014. Chic and beautiful ! (Photo credits: Steve Granitz and Maarten de Boer / Getty Images)

"I'm into leather trousers"

In fashion world, leather trousers advanced in the late 90's and also is fashion-forward until today. In Rene's case, it's one of her favorite pieces, and she used this type of trousers for the first time on her best movie (and on our favorite too), Thomas Crown Affair (1999). It makes her look sexy and young. Ms. Russo loves combining these leather trousers with a blouse (preference black or white), leaving the look more balanced.

"Everything White"

Beyond black and some sort of colors, Rene also love white when we talk about clothes. And as I said before in some posts, this look is one of my favorites, because it mixes simplicity, sensuality and balance (and in fashion, white means simplicity, and this look is more than that).

"One Dress, Two Companies"
Why this title? This photo explains everything, because Rene is accompanied by Jake Gyllenhaal (his fellow worker in the movie Nightcrawler) in one moment, and in another, accompanied by her daughter, Rose Gilroy (who is sooo beautiful like Ms. Russo). The dress this lovely lady is wearing is adequate even on a movie premiere or a chic dinner !!! And it fits her very well, fits her like a glove!!!

Hope u like it !

RENE RUSSO FANPAGE'S VALENTINE'S DAY SPECIAL!!!

Rene's family moments in the Academy Awards: along with her husband, Dan Gilroy (left),
and along with Dan and her daughter Rose Gilroy (right). (photo: Getty Images).

While in United States Valentine's Day is celebrated on February 14, in Brazil, this day is celebrated on June 12 (tomorrow).

As I said on the end of part 2 of her bio, since 1992, Rene is happily married to Dan Gilroy, and both have a beautiful daughter, Rose Gilroy, who pursues modeling since 2016. 

And what about in movies? I selected five romantic opposites with whom Rene she played: Mel Gibson, Pierce Brosnan, Robert De Niro, Dustin Hoffman & last but not least, Jake Gyllenhaal. 

Mel Gibson, Pierce Brosnan, Robert De Niro, Dustin Hoffman and Jake Gyllenhaal:
the 5 lucky men of the Valentine's Day Special. (collage: M.E.Serrano)

1- Mel Gibson (Lethal Weapon 3, Lethal Weapon 4 & Ransom)

Mel Gibson is well known for doing Mad Max & Lethal Weapon franchises, Conspiracy Theory, and many others. And what's Rene Russo got to do with this story? Well, here it goes. Most of the movies Rene starred were next to Mel Gibson (3 times in total). In Lethal Weapon 3 (1992), while Lorna (Russo) and Riggs (Gibson) were comparing scars, they share a kiss together, and in Lethal Weapon 4 (1998), they work again together, now their characters are wife and husband.

But between Lethal Weapon movies, they worked together again in Ransom (1996), Mel and Rene were Tom and Kate Mullen, respectively. Both have to face their son's kidnapping, done by Jimmy Shaker (Gary Sinise, great in Apollo 13 and CSI NY)
2- Pierce Brosnan (Thomas Crown Affair)

Pierce Brosnan is best known as roles as Mrs. Doubtfire, some 007 movies and... Thomas Crown Affair, along with Rene Russo. In a People magazine article, according to Pierce, "Rene is the only woman of the summer in my book. She does it in such a gorgeous, sensuous, sexy way.”  

And in Rene's recent interviews on TV, many of the interviewers ask of... Thomas Crown Affair. According to Rene: "Many women ask of him... what was he like? Is he cute? Is he dreamy? Yes he is. He's a good kisser. (...) For the love scenes, are always really hard! (laughs)" 

3- Robert De Niro (The Adventures of Rocky & Bullwinkle, Showtime & The Intern).

HOW CUTE! (photo credits: Time & Life Pictures)

Another actor who worked most times with Rene was Robert de Niro, great in many movies, such as Taxi Driver, Goodfellas, Cape Fear remake, Casino and many others. But with Rene... he worked three times, two as a romantic opposite: Showtime and recently, The Intern (The Adventures of Rocky and Bullwinkle doesn't count... even De Niro worked together with her, Rene's romantic opposite was Jason Alexander, great in series as Seinfeld, and in movies such as Pretty Woman, The Paper and Shallow Hal).

In Showtime, De Niro plays Mitch, while Russo plays Chase, a TV producer (in the end there are hints of romance between both of them), and in The Intern, Robert plays Ben (a widow), and Rene plays Fiona (the massagist). In my opinion, the best part is when Fiona appears massaging Ben's back... so relaxing...

In the end of The Intern, Ben and Fiona ended together. 

4- Dustin Hoffman (Outbreak)

Dustin Hoffman is best known on Tootsie, Rain Man (he won an Academy Award), Kramer vs. Kramer, The Graduate and many others. Now, in Outbreak, Hoffman portrays Sam Daniels, Robby's ex-husband (Robby is portrayed by Russo). Sam and Robby reconcile when he and Salt (Cuba Gooding Jr.) saved her from Ebola disease. 

5-Jake Gyllenhaal (Nightcrawler & Velvet Buzzsaw)

Jake and Rene: perfect chemistry in scene. (photo credits: StarTraks Photo)

And finally, last but not least: Jake Gyllenhaal. Jake is one of the actors with most popular audience, specially youngsters (and girls too). He is great in Donnie Darko, Brokeback Mountain, Jarhead, Southpaw... and Nightcrawler. 

Like I said on the Nightcrawler post weeks ago, Rene Russo and Jake Gyllenhaal have such chemistry in Dan Gilroy's debut (Jake was Lou, Rene was Nina). Both were great... and the public (specially Rene and Jake fans) questioned themselves... Why Jake and Rene were forgotten on the Golden Globes & the Academy Awards? (...) Jake should have received something, he should have received a nomination! 

And this year, Rene and Jake are working again together, in Velvet Buzzsaw, by Dan Gilroy. Jake plays Morf Vandewalt, and Rene, Rhodora Haze! We're excited for both working together! 

Other Rene's romantic pairings...

Along with these five, Rene also worked with Kevin Costner (Tin Cup, 1996),  Clint Eastwood (In the Line of Fire, 1993), John Travolta (Get Shorty, 1995), Emilio Estevez (Freejack, 1992), Tom Berenger (Major League, 1989), Jim Belushi (Mr. Destiny, 1990), Dennis Quaid (Yours Mine and Ours, 2005), and many others!

Wish u everybody a Happy Valentine's day!

Hope u like it!

Running Time: 117 min.

Plot summary: Los Angeles, California. The thief Louis Bloom (Jake Gyllenhaal, great in Donnie Darko, Brokeback Mountain), known as Lou, has been caught stealing from a L.A. construction site by a security guard. To get rid of the crime, Lou attacks the guard, steals the watch and runs away with the material. After selling this material, Lou asks for a job, but the construction supervisor tells him he doesn't hire thieves.
While driving home, Lou sees a car crash on the middle of the road... and the freelance photojournalists arrive and record two police officers pulling a wounded woman from the crash. One of these photojournalists, Joe Loder (Bill Paxton, of Twister), tells Lou that they sell their footage to local news stations.

Inspired, Lou steals a bike and trades it for a recording camera and a police radio scanner. After two failed attempts, he records a fatal carjacking and sells it to KWLA (channel 6). The morning news director, Nina Romina (Rene Russo), tells him the station is interested in footage of graphic/violent incidents (such as accidents involving cars, buses, trains, planes, etc.) in influent areas. And for the job to be more efficient and with more impact, Lou hires an assistant, Rick (Riz Ahmed), a young man desperate for money, and begins tampering crime scenes. In one of them, he moves a body. As Lou's work gains attention, he buys better equipment and a faster car.

Then, Lou and Nina go to a Mexican restaurant, talking about his sucess as a reporter. But things go wrong when he threatens her to end her business unless she has sex with him. And her job depend on his footage. Nina agrees hesitantly.
 The following day, Lou turns down an offer from Loder, who beats him in a plane crash story in Foothill, and Nina scolded her job partner (Lou), explaining him to get better footage! To give Loder the payback, Lou sabotaged his van, leaving him injured. 
Later, Lou and Rick arrive before the police at a home invasion in Granada Hills, and Lou records the shooters leaving with their SUV. Result: Nina is so anxious with this story.... in return, Lou requests more public credit and money.
And the climax begins when detective Frontieri (Michael Hyatt) doubts Lou about the home invasion footage, and he gives his edited version, cutting out the shooters' footage parts. Posterior to that, he and Rick follow the shooters to a more crowded area, and then, Lou's assistant claims half of the money of the initial request, menacing to tell the police about Lou's crimes, and he admits.
The shooters enter at the restaurant, and Lou phones the police. They shoot each other, and one of the suspects is killed while the other escapes with the SUV. And soon after the shooter's SUV crashes, Lou persuades Rick to film him, saying he's dead, but in reality it was contrary: the shooter was alive; and shoots Rick through the glass and tries to flee. But Lou's assistant is dead by the police. So Lou said to Rick he couldn't work with someone who has more advantage than him. 

Rene as Nina Romina. Chic as always!

The ending of Nightcrawler is when Nina was amazed with Lou's final footage involving Rick, and she expresses her devotion by him. But the news team found out that the home invasion didn't work out; and Nina refused to report the information to maximize the impact. Result: The police tries to confiscate the evidence, but Nina defend the right to reserve it.
And Lou hires a team of freelancers and interns, and buys new vans to grow his business.

Fun facts about the movie:
- Nina Romina was specially written for Rene Russo, his wife in real life. For Gilroy, Nina was described as "hard-nosed corporate malicious woman". And Russo brought a sense of vulnerability to the character.
- Jake Gyllenhaal and Rene Russo had a very great chemistry in scene; and they would work again in Velvet Buzzsaw (also directed by Dan Gilroy) this year, premiering October 26, on Netflix.
- Jake had his own idea of losing 20 pounds for this movie. He visualized Lou as a hungry coyote.
- Like Donnie Darko (2001) and Prisoners (2013), Jake Gyllenhaal blinked rarely in Nightcrawler. And Donnie Darko is one of my favorite movies of Jake. 
- And it was also Dan Gilroy's directorial debut after years producing movies. Some of them were starred by Rene Russo, such as Freejack (1992) and Two for the Money (2005).

Critical reception: 

• IMDB: 7,9/10 
• Rotten Tomatoes: 95% (excellent; 244 reviews).
• Metascore: 76/100
• Cinemascore: B - (A+ to F).

Awards:

Rene won two awards for this movie: 

• San Diego Films Critics Society - Best Supporting Actress; and
• Saturn Awards - Best Supporting Actress.

Next week, I'll bring out some details about Rene's character in Nightcrawler, Nina Romina... it's one of my favorite characters of her entire career!

hope u enjoy it.

love u guys.
