Do you know who this woman is? (PHOTO)

She is so sexy and seductive -- but beware! You may not know the whole story! One author used the photo and some other information to create a whole persona for her!

Can you guess?

but hey I guessed.

The far-right media machine perceives Mann Coulter as aging, so has been bringing this new bimbetter along.

Right-wing nut.

Do you have a radio show? Are you a right wing nut?

I guess I'm a liberal, but not a wing nut of any kind! I'll PM you the details. Thanks for inquiring.

Burl Hughes...she ain't a Karen...he's Burl.

"a man called Stan" transitioning into "a gal called Sabrina (BREE)." Best female performance of the year, in my humble opinion.

But this is off topic.

It isn't Karen Hughes.

but she looks like a young Victoria Principal to me. I have no idea who else it might be. Perhaps it's a composite shot of several different women, made to look like a real one?

but it isn't Victoria and it isn't a montage.

Sorry.

A thing where he was pretending that he was THAT woman? Or something like that?

I remember hearing something about that some weeks ago.

Doubt you would find it, 'though, without knowing her name or background.

PS. Don't feel bad. I just learned about this a few days ago myself.

nt

Sorry.

and I hate to say this so I will hurl as I do lol......is it pickles?

and it's not a fairy tale, so don't go down the literature route.

Sorry.

..."spokesmodel"...

You're probably thinking of the movie "S1M0NE"... good guess, but incorrect.

:silly:

That's not right. (Good guess, 'though...)

TOKEO ROSE!!

n/t

Sorry.

and this will drive me nuts until I know.

I'll be mindful that it's almost MIDNIGHT on the East Coast... and hope it won't cause you insomnia... you'll be fine...

:D

on edit -- back to the woman in the first pic, with the vaguely asian features I'll guess she's from Russia or one of the 'stans...?

the compliment! :blushes:

Yes, you're getting warm with your last comment... "one of the 'stans" ...

opps wrong photo.

Your "Oops" is accepted.

"Dead Poets' Society" -- sorry for being jocular.

OT: I've seen three movies in two days, and tomorrow they're cleaning the windows in my house. :wretching:

She looks as if she comes from that part of the world.

know about Uzbekistan? Or its politics? I don't know much... do you?

and how she has impacted an American writer who researched this woman on the Internet.

practice Islam, although Genghis Khan's Mongol hordes came through there, so a lot of people have an East Asian look. Their current government is extremely repressive, notorious for torturing political opponents. The U.S. has troops there, and Bush considers them an "ally."

(I'm up on my former Soviet Republics because I used to sing for a dance troupe that specialized in dance from around the world, and Central Asia was one of their featured regions.)

there's another photo of her.

Oh, wrong language.

Sorry.

Гульнара Каримова

Frankly, I can't read the article and wonder how you happen to know even this?

Gulnara Karimova
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gulnara_Karimova


couldn't find a photo that i had seen of Maria Heller, so was working from faulty memory.

dp

necessary.

Do you know something about her, or just the name? (I know that "properties" of the web site I posted did reveal that name, but I'm almost at the end of this evening, and this little cat-and-mouse game.)

maria wasn't gulnara ... and yes, you did reveal the answer in your link upthread.

sorry if i spoiled it.

:sarcasm:

Don't know the country. But, is she very high up in the running of the government?

Do I have any idea what I'm talking about?!?!

isn't a princess...

You said she impacted an American writer, and right now he's the only American writer I can think of!

He is a Portland author who became fascinated with the politics in Uzbekistan, and wrote a book with some fearsome fictional characters. One of them was patterned after this woman. Here's what he says as part of an October 2005 article:

From http://www.bookreporter.com/authors/au-rucka-greg.asp

BookReporter.C: Much of PRIVATE WARS is set in Uzbekistan, which provides an interesting backdrop for the novel. It is one of the areas of the world that gets few headlines, yet it is of utmost strategic importance for several countries, including the United States. How did you come to choose Uzbekistan as a setting for PRIVATE WARS? Have you traveled to the locations featured in the novel?

GR: PRIVATE WARS actually started with a photograph I saw of the current Uzbeki president's daughter, Gulnara Karimov. There's not a whole lot of information out there about her, but what little I managed to read got the wheels spinning, and the novel spilled forth from there. She's a fascinating character, and frankly, more than a little terrifying.

(More at link.)

Quite a character, indeed!

of Uzbekistan.

Whoever she is, her name is Gul'nara Karimova.

fashion his fictional story. A picture is worth more than a thousand words in this case.

See later links for discussion.

By the way, this book has no relationship to the film of the same name.

Not the best translation, but better than nothing.........

"To gul'naru - into the Presidents © "stringer", January 2002, "the children of the Presidents. Uzbekistan ", The photos: "faces" the matters.

Karimov, chosen on the new period during January 2000, thus far does not intend to depart Islam to the resignation. Nevertheless, following Russian saying "prepare sleighs in summer", he already attended to by the selection of successor. It is more accurate, by successor. Since the discussion deals with its daughter - Gul'nare, which not novice in the policy, with 1997- GO of year it occupies the post of adviser on political questions of the Minister of Foreign Affairs.

Ten years ago of Karimov's Gul'nara it married the owner Of mansura Of maksudi, which was known in the republic as the "king of nonalcoholic market" - it spills in Tashkent Coca-Cola

Maksudi not "local". It - an ethnic Uzbek, who emigrated in THE USA from Afghanistan. After becoming steepest zyatem in the republic, thus far no one not well-known trader obtained limitless possibilities for the advance of his business. Of maksudi it easily extruded from the Uzbek market of the basic competitors Coca-Cola - company PepsiCo. In the short time "limonadnye joe" they became some of the basic investors of Uzbekistan - since 1994 the company put in the economy of the country more than 100 million dollars.

Capital, multiplied by the position in the society, gave Maksudi not bad chance to study policy. However, not so long ago Mansur and Gul'nara bred. Thus, Maksudi no longer connect any ethical and moral standards (you will agree that the rivalry on political Olympus with its native wife, on top of that under the conditions of the east, appears, at least, ridiculously). On the whole, it is completely probable that an American Uzbek (or Uzbek American) still poboretsya for the presidential armchair. The intrigue of future selections can leave amusing: who knows, and the suddenly former husbands will reconcile? Then in family instead of one chance appear wholes two."

:smiles on a winter night:

a colorful career.

Meet and greet him at http://www.gregrucka.com

And, no, I am not his mother, nor am I involved in any other way. I wanted him to do a radio show with me on his new book and along the way of exploring the book and its themes, I had to see who the "mystery lady" was.

Goodnight and good luck!

In peace,
