no really WTF is she? :P I can't tell from that photo and the slab label is too blurry to read. The autograph just reads like "Clean Sue" so unless she really likes baths ;) that's no help either

no really WTF is she?

 

"Clean Sue" is actually "Charisma," but I think I like "Clean Sue" better. Actually, "Dirty Sue" would be okay as well.

 

Here's the biographical info about Charisma Carpenter :

 

Charisma Lee Carpenter (born July 23, 1970) is an American actress. She is best known for playing the character Cordelia Chase in the television series Buffy the Vampire Slayer and its spin-off Angel, for which she was nominated for four Saturn Awards. Her most recent role was playing opposite Sylvester Stallone and Jason Statham in The Expendables (2010).

 

Early life

 

Carpenter was born in Las Vegas, Nevada,[1][3][4] the daughter of Chris, a bird sanctuary worker, and Don Carpenter, a salesman.[5] She is of French and German descent on her father's side and Cherokee and Spanish descent on her mother's side.[6] Her parents named her after an Avon perfume.[7] Carpenter attended Bishop Gorman High School in Las Vegas; she was also a part of a song-and-dance troupe which performed in the Las Vegas area beginning when she was nine.[4] When she was 15, her family moved to Rosarito city, Mexico[3] and then to San Diego where she attended Bonita Vista High School and Chula Vista School of the Creative and Performing Arts.[3] After graduation, Carpenter traveled throughout Europe.[8] Once she returned to San Diego again, she worked as a video store clerk,[3] an aerobics instructor, and in property management.[4] In 1991, she worked as a San Diego Charger cheerleader.[9] In 1992, she moved to Los Angeles.[8]

 

Career

 

Carpenter was discovered by a commercial agent while waiting tables in Los Angeles[3] to save money for her college education. This led to her role on theatrical productions and more than twenty commercials.[10] She made her first television role in 1994 by appearing in an episode of Baywatch.[10] Shortly after that, she landed a starring role on Aaron Spelling's short-lived soap opera Malibu Shores.[9]

 

In 1996, Carpenter auditioned for the title role in the television series Buffy the Vampire Slayer but instead was cast as Cordelia Chase,[11] a snobby and popular high school student. After three seasons on Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Carpenter was offered an even larger role as the same character on the spin-off series Angel along with David Boreanaz. She played Cordelia Chase for four seasons on Angel. Although her character leaves the series during Angel's fourth season, Carpenter returned for the 100th episode in the fifth and final season because she felt that Cordelia's fans deserved closure after the controversy of her unexplained removal from the show.

 

In 2004, Carpenter had a three episode guest appearance on the TV show Charmed as a psychic demon[12] called The Seer and played a recurring role on NBC's Miss Match, appearing in four episodes. She also had a recurring role as Kendall Casablancas in the TV series Veronica Mars[12] for the 2005–2006 season, appearing in 11 episodes. Carpenter guest-starred in the first season finale of ABC Family's television show Greek and reprised her role in two episodes of Season 2. According to TV Guide in September 2007, she was set to join the cast of The Apprentice: Celebrity Edition,[13] but instead chose to do a guest appearance on the show Back to You as well as a recurring role on the short-lived series Big Shots.[14] Carpenter also had a guest appearance in an April 2009 episode of CSI: Crime Scene Investigation.

 

On March 20, 2008, Paley Fest hosted a Buffy the Vampire Slayer reunion. Carpenter attended the event alongside Buffy creator Joss Whedon, producers Marti Noxon and David Greenwalt, and other Buffy alumni including Sarah Michelle Gellar, Nicholas Brendon, James Marsters, Emma Caulfield, Amber Benson, Seth Green, and Michelle Trachtenberg.[15]

 

Carpenter has starred in an assortment of made-for-TV and direct-to-video movies including the sex comedy What Boys Like, the horror film Voodoo Moon, and the romantic comedies See Jane Date and Relative Chaos on ABC Family (the latter of which co-starred fellow Buffy alum Nicholas Brendon). She also appeared in the mysteries Flirting with Danger and Cheaters' Club on Lifetime Television and the Syfy movie House of Bones broadcast in 2010,[16] around the same time as her guest spot in Legend of the Seeker.

 

Also in 2009, Carpenter starred in production company Red Sparrow's first film, Psychosis, which was released in early 2011. In August 2010, she had a supporting role in Sylvester Stallone's The Expendables.[17] After the success of The Expendables, Carpenter was cast in Human Factor [18] and in the indie thriller Crash Site.[19]

 

Public image

 

Carpenter was named #31 on Askmen.com's Top 99 Most Desirable Women 2002[20] and #44 on their 2005 list.[21] Despite this, Carpenter has stated she does not view herself as a sex symbol.[22]

 

In the June 2004 issue of Playboy magazine, Carpenter appeared on the cover and in a ten-page nude layout.[11] When asked by People magazine in 2005 about her nude pictorial and whether or not she would ever pose for Playboy again, she replied, "I don't know. I did Playboy for a very specific reason. Not only was it a good financial move, but it was about the place I was at in my life. I had just had my son and I'd gained 50 lbs. during pregnancy. I wanted to get back to my old self. I wanted to feel desirable and sexy. So I thought, 'What if I went full throttle?'"[23]

I'm new to the forum and I can't seem to copy and paste photos to this message. What is the trick to pasting photos here? Thanks in advance for any assistance!

 

The image needs to exist online already. Try a free site such as Photobucket. You post your image on Photobucket, then you grab the URL link to the code that displays the photo, and you copy that link to the message you're writing here (using the little image icon at the top of the message field). It's easier than it sounds. A lot of people around here use it.

Okay, well nearly one month after writing "I've almost given up on it," I tracked down a copy of After Hours #4. Now I have all four issues of this rare Warren publication, and they're all in decent grade. So I have that empty feeling of finishing and needing to figure out my next magazine to hunt. Gotta say, these After Hours mags were a real challenge, requiring a lot of patience. The #4 issue is very cool because almost half of it is devoted to monster movies and science-fiction pulps, including an article about the collection of Forrest J. Ackerman. You can really see that Jim Warren was on his way to giving up on the whole pinup-magazine enterprise and ready to embark on Famous Monsters of Filmland #1. After Hours #4 also has a nice spread about Anita Eckberg and a few pages of classic Bettie Page jungle-girl photos.

 

Here's the group shot:

A rare 1975 one shot issue published by magazine management company(Marvel). Anyone ever seen a copy of this magazine for sale?

Never seen it and never knew anything about it. Marvel was really branching out, weren't they? Incidentally, there's a spot you (or somebody else) forgot to censor.....not a complaint.
