LISA LONG should be raved about especially since her appearances on television over the years are satisfyingly fascinating. I have the utmost respect for LISA as she joins the likes of Emmy Rossum and Shanola Hampton in un-glamorizing themselves for the mundane, simplistic nature of their characters. LISA guest-stars as Scotty, a lesbian who together with William H. Macy’s Frank Gallagher try to work through their same sex tendencies via copulation. The search for stimulation and awkward sexual tension between the two is brilliantly played out with LISA’s believability as a conflicted lesbian onscreen never in doubt. Her boldness to dive into a topless scene on that very episode ‘Civil Wrongs’ from Season 3 of “Shameless” has to be applauded and more so than ever we’re seeing riveting depictions of real women such as how LISA has evinced.
Don’t underestimate her attractiveness one bit for she does have soulful eyes certain to engage and captivate. Lisa was also recently on “Community” as Lorraine, the decision maker who approves a grant to cure ‘ChangNesia’ whom Chang (Ken Jeong) cooked up as faked amnesia. A visit to the LISA LONG OFFICIAL SITE details her stint as a voiceover artist on gaming sites as well as being the mom of Sandy (Stella Maeve) in “The Runaways”, the Joan Jett story. Can’t wait to see what her next role will be but going by Lisa’s track record it will intrigue.

Some actresses are stunning as both a blonde or a brunette and MICHELLE PASCARELLA is intensely attractive with both shades of hair colors. The peek-a-boo photo (above left) is a clear tell-tale of how captivating she can be and there’s every indication she’s a dazzler onscreen too. In the trailer of “Business Or Pleasure”, she plays Rebekah a college student who inevitably finds love in the most unlikeliest of places…a lingerie store! Potently sweet is how she can be described as MICHELLE does have the necessary charms to have people queuing in line to fall for her. Those magnetic eyes of hers do mesmerize and building an affinity with her comes easily. When she’s a blonde, MICHELLE seems to possess the gripping cuteness much like A.J. Cook of “Criminal Minds” fame.
I did sense she’s a genuine looker after spotting her in the series “The Forgotten”. So what do you guys and girls think? Is she more beautiful with blonde or raven hair? After browsing her IMDB Page, I also realized she once acted alongside Candice Accola from “The Vampire Diaries” and sooner or later, MICHELLE could ascend the very same heights that Candice has achieved on television. At 5′ 2″, she’s a petite beauty who has the necessary charisma to win us over.
Rising Starlet: Teri Reeves

It’s the pinnacle of anticipation when so many enchanting faces such as TERI REEVES are about to heat up our weekdays. She’s one of the stars of “Chicago Fire”, the brand new series that’s set to stoke the flame in many a heart. TERI plays Dr. Hallie Casey, a stunning resident in the ER who provides the romantic angle as can been seen in her relationship with firefighter Matthew (Jesse Spencer of “House” fame). Warner Bros. may have Rachael Taylor as a foxy manager on “666 Park Avenue” but in the steamy locale of Chicago, TERI is the hottie with the scrubs who we will warm up to in a hurry! Her most heavenly eyes can give Rachael’s a run for her money anytime! Boo to NBCUniversaldirect.com for misspelling her name wrongly in the interview video (above) for she should be getting all the right plaudits for depicting such a strong woman on “Chicago Fire”. TERI’s character is as much a savior as the fireman and EMT crew in what will amount to gripping drama for viewers.
So look out for the premiere on 10th October on NBC when TERI starts a cycle of infatuation and certainly gives us the incentive to visit the TERI REEVES OFFICIAL SITE. I did correspond with her on Facebook and it’s always nice to hear how anxious she is to see if people enjoy her performance with every episode. That shows how much she cares about her fans both old and new. The burning desire to watch TERI REEVES in the months ahead starts now!

Continuing the Shriekfest Hottie Fever is the lovely Liesel Kopp who this Saturday, Oct the 6th will win us over with her leading lady role in the indie ghost story “Revenant”. Plugging the work of one as sweet-looking as Liesel is essential and she shines in the tense frightener as Stella, the girlfriend of a writer who is desperate to experience a haunting as the inspiration for his new novel. Apparently this is no ordinary haunted house tale as the film introduces several elements not seen before in such features. Guess you’ll have to attend Shriekfest for the screening to find out! Blue eyes are indeed addictive and Liesel has a glittering pair that are as ravishing on print as they are onscreen. It makes you want to visit the LIESEL KOPP OFFICIAL SITE to take tour of her filmography and she does have a collection of videos for captive viewing.
In one of her interviews, she has this to say: ‘I’m always happy when I get cast in anything. And then on top of that, when it’s horror, it’s just a little extra icing on top.’ On that proclamation alone, Liesel may just be making waves as one of the promising talents on the indie horror front. You may have spotted her in the chilling festival favorite “Entrance” and the serial killer/zombie mash-up Die-ner (Get It?). While Liesel is a versatile actress, her partiality to all things dark and terrifying is going to get her recognized as a darling of the genre.
P.S. Thank you to the vivacious Liesel for sending me her more (in her eloquent words) glamour-y and/or horror-y photos specially for this feature. Don’t you think blood looks mighty fine on her…:)
Hot Comedienne: June Diane Raphael

We can’t take our eyes off the women of comedy and with JUNE DIANE RAPHAEL being so impeccably exquisite, many will be steadfastly revering her in double quick time. She was a beguiling delight in the saucy red dress on “The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson” recently, affirming her drop-dead gorgeous features and compelling beauty. No wonder Craig was on maximum creepiness! It’s apparent her striking eyes constitutes a huge part of JUNE’s sex appeal which is always captivating and never once boring. The hilarious series “NTSF:SD:SUV::” on Adult Swim which constantly pokes fun at investigative procedural dramas has her mesmerizing viewers as the trigger happy Piper Ferguson. In one of the episodes, JUNE left our tongues wagging as she stretches out her perfect body and smokin’ hot ass ala Catherine Zeta Jones from “Entrapment”.
JUNE may have admitted she’s not a natural-born comic but notice how her evolution into one has led to her being the toast of town. Looking forward to the teaming up of JUNE and Casey Wilson from “Happy Endings” in a new comedy “The Housewives” which will be set in 1954. It’s easy to see JUNE taking her witticism into the Swinging 50′s which could see her drawing comparisons with comic talents of yesteryear such as Judy Holliday and Lucille Ball. As she’s also a screenwriter, we have to love the way traditional limitations of the genre are being explored and who better to keep us entertained than the ravishing JUNE DIANE RAPHAEL.

At the San Diego Film Festival 2012, everyone will be talking about GRACE FOLSOM who enchants with a memorable performance in “Things I Don’t Understand”. She stars as Sara, the terminally ill girl being interviewed by grad student Violet Kubelick (a believer in the afterlife) for her thesis on spirituality. Her dedicated research on the debilitating condition of her character is evident as GRACE is spot-on when depicting the state of a cancer-ravaged young woman dealing with her mortality. Conveying the face of positivity, she instills a touching yet spirited semblance of the travails affecting someone dealing with impending death. Twitch, one of the best entertainment sites did an article on her which prevalently signifies her blossoming status as a coveted newcomer.
Judging from the complimentary reviews on the GRACE FOLSOM OFFICIAL SITE, she could very well be arousing an avid preoccupation in the coming months. Grace does have the big ‘anime-like’ eyes which are perfectly gorgeous giving her a desirably striking look. As you know, men are drawn to lips more than any other facial feature and hers is full enhancing the attractiveness she has even further. Despite her busy schedule on the festival circuit, it’s great to hear back from her that she would be honored to be lauded on the Actress Obsession Blog. She just moved to LA about a month ago so expectations are that there will definitely be plenty more written about this lissome talent.
Sizzling Cutie: Nichelle Aiden

War dramas seem to bring to our attention some enthralling beauties and NICHELLE AIDEN conjures an instant connection with viewers. Think Kate Beckinsale from “Pearl Harbor”, the hotties from “Bomb Girls” or recently the busty Hayley Atwell as Peggy Carter from “Captain America” and you’ll recognize how enchanting the portrayals of Women Of War can be. Enter NICHELLE, leading lady in the San Diego Film Fest 2012 entry “Saints and Soldiers: Airborne Creed” who herself perpetuates the hypnotic appeal we’ve become accustomed too. Not only is she beautiful in character as Charlotte, the girlfriend of a solder from the 517th Parachute Regimental Combat Team during WW2, NICHELLE injects a soothing tenderness amidst the sea of testosterone. From the NICHELLE AIDEN OFFICIAL SITE one can see her passion as a performer knows no bounds, the tagline “I love to act. It’s that simple” corroborating her desire to tell a story truthfully.
Her soulful eyes spurs us on to further our attraction for NICHELLE who is an actress, model and writer currently residing in UTAH. I love that she’s pursuing roles requiring a tangible essence and she has bags of potential to be approvingly looked upon as a source of captivation. Her upcoming sci-fi feature is called “Archangel Alpha”, a tale of warring factions fighting over scarce resources during an impending Ice Age and should more than kick up some excitement. Let us all fall for this fresh face sweetheart and evidently likable NICHELLE.
Indie Princess: Tommee May

She’s been a part of festival favorites such as “Yellow” which premiered at TIFF 2012 as well as Sundance Feature “Goats” starring David Duchovny and Vera Fermiga. TOMMEE was one of the producers on “GOATS” and can also be seen as Fiona who comes across the offbeat drama’s protagonist Ellis (played by Graham Phillips) at a liquor store. If you’ve seen the hit 80s sitcom “Family Ties”, you would be familiar with Justine Bateman and from what I’ve seen, Miss Tommee May channels a similar effusive foxiness. Her wide smile and wondrous eyes has a unique flavor that would win over any moviegoer. Active in independent films and off broadway plays, she also created a very funny web series called THE ONE ‘N DONE about two friends who can’t catch a break when it comes to finding their perfect match. Watch her as Jamie, the unlucky in love gal who has a habit of misunderstanding the intentions of her dates, often resulting in humorous situations.
TOMMEE is in the throes of producing the movie “Illusion” and with a premise which will challenge one’s perception of truth, it could very well be a sleeper hit when released. In the mean time, drop by the TOMMEE MAY OFFICIAL SITE to see her latest reel containing her scene from “Goats”. She’s also one of the friendliest actresses around which would endear herself to viewers who’ve have come to admire indie darlings.
