Blog Posts about Rena Riffel

Things are looking up on DVD and Blu-ray, as this year's Anatomy Award Winner for Best TV Series, Game of Boners- oh, sorry, Game of Thrones- hits DVD and Blu-ray. But that's not the only example of outstanding skinema on Blu-ray this week: Striptease (1996) and 9 1/2 Weeks (1986) are both getting the HD treatment, as is the director's cut of Reindeer Games (2000), featuring a nude Charlize Theron.

Plus, Nudity Hall-of-Famer Elena Anaya deftly straddles the line between creepy and sexy (among other things) in the arthouse horror flick The Skin I Live In (2011), nude on DVD and Blu-ray.

Buzz buzz buzz... as the weather heats up, the creepy crawlies come out. And as stars like Ellen Burstyn, Misty Mundae, and Maribel Verdu prove that tiny little legs and antennae on naked female flesh can make you go positively buggy with desire. Check out Mr. Skin's top 10 nude scenes with insects, and pop your "fly"!

Mr. Skin Has a Few Casting Ideas

According to the Hollywood rumor mill, German writer/director Marc Vorlander is at work on the follow-up to the 1995 skinstant classic Showgirls, called Showgirls: Story of Hope.

The details are sketchy at best, but blogs are reporting that the plot will have Rena Riffel's character Penny traveling to Frankfurt, Germany, to seek revenge on the people responsible for giving her brother a deadly dose of cocaine.

There is also a trippy-looking teaser video for the movie that you can watch here.

Since all the casting is still up in the air, we at MrSkin.com have decided to take a stab at casting this flick, under the assumption that all the main characters will be returning.

With no other information to go on, we’ll do what we do in Vegas. We gamble.

For Nomi Malone, the hooker-turned-stripper-turned-showgirl played by a nude Elizabeth Berkley in the original, we have three suggestions:

AnnaLynne McCord of 90210 and Nip/Tuck fame for her trashy, bisexual, frizzy-haired sex appeal; Gossip Girl’s Blake Lively, whose ice cream photoshoot put all sorts of ideas into her fans’ heads; and recent newsmaker Taylor Swift, who would be a perfect naïve ingénue.

We also have three suggestions for Crystal Connors, Nomi’s arch rival and would-be lesbian lover. In the original, the role was played by Gina Gershon.

Our choices are: Marisa Tomei, who was one of our favorite strippers of all time in The Wrestler; Megan Fox, whose refusal to get nude would immediately disqualify her with extreme prejudice; and Rosario Dawson, who’s a little young for the part, but more than sexy enough.

Roll the dice and read the rest of our suggested cast list after the jump.
