OK, maybe not the face, but the bod is trim.
Fotini Peluso in first two episodes of The Great Chimera
Six-part Greek/Italian mini-series. The first two parts aired yesterday.
1928. Eager to flee her scarring family past in Trieste, the beautiful Marina falls in love with Greek sea captain Yannis. She follows him to the sun-blazed island of Syros to begin a new married life in the home of her distrustful mother-in-law. As Marina aspires to find freedom and a sensory heaven worthy of her obsession with classical Greek culture, Yannis strives to build a shipping empire with her financial support. Marina enjoys her new life, but she is soon charmed by his younger brother Minas, a brilliant Athens-based law student. But when disaster upends Yannis’ business and forces him back on the seas, the gods and monsters of Greece show their wrath. Isolated and with a child, Marina succumbs to her desire, her world sliding into a vortex of love, passion, and death. As she still struggles to define herself, this tumultuous love triangle will lead to dire consequences worthy of her most beloved ancient Greek tragedies.
It appears that the source novel is considered a modern masterpiece.
There’s lots of passion in the story, but the nudity is just so-so.
By the way, although Fotini looks good in this, Valentina Cervi looks incredible. She’s in her 50s, so I don’t know whether she’ll do any nudity in future episodes, or even whether she would look good naked at her age, but that is one beautiful woman! Talk about a MILF!
Episode 1
Episode 2
Fotini is primarily considered an Italian actress, but speaks both Italian and Greek. (Her father is Italian, her mother Greek.) She was previously naked in:

Whoa! Full-frontal nudity from Jamie Slater in episode 6 of The House of Ashur
And nameless others topless.
There was also this scene with Tenika Davis. I can’t tell what she is wearing, if anything, over her breasts.
Llúcia Garcia totally naked in Romería (2025)
Semi-autobiographical story from Spain, about a young woman embarking on a quest to learn more about the parents who died when she was young, and their relationship as young lovers before she was born. It is a lightly fictionalized account of writer/director Carla Simón’s own experiences.
In 2004, an orphaned young woman, Marina, travels to Vigo to seek information about her biological father, who died from AIDS. She meets her uncle and the rest of her family on her father’s side, who are reluctant to bring up the past due to shame because of Marina’s biological parents’ struggles with substance abuse
Translation into plain English: Both parents died of “SIDA” (AIDS-related illness).
Tomato Meter: 88%
Metacritic: 74/100
IMDb: 7.1/10
Great nudity – and in a film debut. This really starts 2026 off on the right foot.
The Jeffrey Epstein Memorial Ballroom
“Where every day is a wonderful secret”
Mighty Ohio State has fallen
THE Ohio State University was defending a national championship and spent most of this year looking invulnerable at #1, a place they held from week two through week fifteen.
Many people felt that Miami shouldn’t have been in the tournament at all. They didn’t even qualify to play in the championship game in their own conference, and came into this game as 9.5 point underdogs.
None of that matters now.
Miami has made the final four by knocking off an SEC team and a Big Ten team. They have made it to that point with little offense. They scored only ten against A&M in round one, with 278 yards from scrimmage. Their offense scored only 17 against Ohio State in round two, and they again failed to reach 300 yards from scrimmage.
But, oh, that defense!
They gave a Heisman finalist QB the worst day of his sporting career. They sacked him five times and picked him off twice, including a pick-six. The Hurricanes caused the worst performance by an elite quarterback since 1998, when the Farrelly Brothers cast Brett Favre in There’s Something About Mary.
Weird trivia:
The top four seeds are 1-7 in the new format.
Last year, the top four seeds, coming off their first-round byes, all lost in the New Year’s Eve/Day round. Then the two best remaining teams, seeds 5 and 6, lost in the next round. Then the next best remaining team, seed 7, lost in the championship, leaving the eighth seed as the national champion.
This year, the 2, 3 and 4 seeds all lost. Only Indiana prevailed.
Next up: Indiana vs Oregon; Mississippi vs Miami
The nude scene in House on Eden (2025)
This is a micro-budget horror film produced by the performers, who used their real names and pretended to be making a documentary within the script, thus giving the project a “cinema verite” or “found footage” feel. Kris Collins starred, wrote, directed and co-produced.
The IMDb score of 3.8 demonstrates that they were not especially successful.
Paranormal investigators Kris, Celina, and their videographer Jay expect the usual scares when they set out on their latest case. But after being mysteriously rerouted to an abandoned house deep in the woods, they find themselves facing a force unlike anything they have encountered before. As the night spirals into chaos, missing crew members and eerie phenomena hint at an ancient, malevolent presence watching their every move.
Dilara Melami – brief areola exposure in episode 3 of Jasmine
Jasmine is a Turkish drama series on HBO Max about a young woman with a fatal heart condition who works as an escort to bribe her way onto a heart transplant list for herself and her stepbrother, leading to dark, morally complex choices and conflict with Turkish authorities over its “immoral” content. The show explores desperation, survival, and corruption within the medical world.
There’s really nothing to see here. As I see it, its content is not nearly immoral enough. Reminder to self: either abandon that dream to run for office in Turkey; or acquire stoning-proof clothing.
