First there was Claudia. Then there was Monica.
From November 18, 2009:
Topless Claudia Schiffer in Catwoman mask by Mario Testino for German Vogue (June, 2008).
Winner winner, chicken dinner! I said goddamn, Claudia Schiffer. Haters to the left.
Internet, I am going to let you knock off early and go home for the rest of the day, because you have truly outdone yourself. Great hustle.
Several days later:
Wow, guys. Monica Bellucci and my fave photographer, Ellen Von Unwerth, are seriously giving the topless Claudia Schiffer Catwoman by Mario Testino of several days’ ago a real run for its money for the internet’s Best [Batman] Picture Ever contest.
Monica Bellucci, photographed in Catwoman mask and leather bodysuit by the stellar and magnificent Ellen Von Unwerth for “Bella Bellucci,” a feature in Vogue España, June 2006.
While Monica’s cleavage is always impressive and, of course, her face is basically the most beautiful on Earth, I’m still giving the advantage to the Mario-Claudia collaboration for toplessness. Better luck next time, Team Monica-EVU!
TODAY:
I’ve brought them both back for this very special Flashback Friday because it’s a tiime for a bat couture Showdown!: Model Citizens as Catwoman edition.
Top: Monica Bellucci photographed by Ellen von Unwerth ; Bottom: Claudia Schiffer photographed by Mario Testino.
And ladies, please remember that in my mind, you are both winners. Pick your feline femme fatale poison below!

How can I be the only person who voted for Monica? Your readers disgust me.

Time will tell.

I knew all along they’d never go for the expressionless porcelain Schiffer. Your readers delight me.

Ummm cause did you look at the pics?
July 9, 2010 at 4:54 pm |
on second thought I think the pic of Claudia is a more modern expression of beauty. its a modern high-def photo and i think in this age of perfect pictures on television and in print we (people in general) are drawn to a more modern photo!

watching the poll…my theory has been destroyed!!!!!!!!

I’m more amazed by the other showdown results. Dead heat. I thought Ms. Connors would “pwn” that one. Shows what I know. I have a feeling it is more of a boob man/ass man situation.
