Marie Iitoyo: Her utterly perfect "NO GAZPACHO" photobook scans.....
Think this is Marie's 77th post, up until her 75th one zero had hit the top ten for most views in a thirty day stretch. But the 75th did for about two days and would expect this to be her second post to have that honor and this should be her most popular post ever. But can't recall too well what the most popular posts were for two years ago, perhaps she did hit the top ten on a few occasions but not too confident on that.
As I mentioned in yesterday's post will be taking a brief timeout on the 24th when Blogger introduces their new version. For you viewers everything should look the same though creating posts will be more of a chore. Did say in that post the mini break will be begin on the 20th, on that date will have the second preliminary post for this year's faves. Marie was #1 on the first list and though she's never topped any list would say she's been my number one since this PB was released. However I'm 80% certain that the gal who has the next post will be taking over that top spot but the final list won't be taking place until December. This photobook came out on January 5, 2018 which was Marie's 20th birthday. That was 31 months ago and since then she's been my #1 off and on for about 23 of those months and have a feeling she'll be a bridesmaid once again for my yearly list. Last year she was fourth and second in 2018 plus no fave has had more posts than her in those 31 months.
Marie is only so-so popular here but bet at least five viewers have requested this book which should get her many more fans. The photo shoot took place in the Andalusia area in Spain and it's been the only time she's ever done gravure pics. She did say she doesn't have the body of a gravure model but to me she looks simply tremendous in these pics. Can't remember the sales figures as it was so long ago but the PB sold very well and would love to see another PB in the future. Let's get to the pics as this is a rather large book at 116 pics, running out of superlatives for Marie.....
