Monica Bellucci...Real Italian Beauty

In today's world of Snookies and Jersey Shore/Italian Wannabes I felt the need to highlight a true Italian Beauty...Monica Bellucci. You probably know her from the Matrix or Passion of the Christ, (I recommend checking out her other films, you won't be disappointed). She has been compared to the Italian greats Loren and Lollobrigida, and she has earned that. I love the way she carries herself not only as a famous figure, but as a women. In following her career and reading her interviews it is refreshing to hear her honest feelings, she doesn't appear to say what the world wants to hear.

Not only does Monica have that undeniable sex appeal but she equally exudes self-confidence. I admire the confidence she has regarding her body imagine. Whether she is filming a movie, on the red carpet, in a photoshoot or even walking on the beach with her family she carries that same self confidence and it shows. That to me makes her beautiful.

"I feel fine and comfortable with myself, but not because I'm beautiful. I know many beautiful people and their lives are just so terrible. They feel so uncomfortable with themselves. Being comfortable is not about what you look like, but how you feel. I'm a lucky person because I've been loved a lot. I have a great family."

Here are a few of my favorite pictures of her.
