Hopefully this is one time where seeing red ignites the flames of passion and not the fires of rage. Say guten tag to our European beauty and latest Toil Girl Sylvie.

Big blonde bombshell Sylvie comes from Germany, the city of Cologne to be specific. I've seen her floating around the internet for a couple years now and I grew to know her as one of the sweetest, softest, kindest women to ever wear a smile. She couldn't make an enemy with anyone if she tried. To thank the Les Man for her portrait, she spent her dear little deutschmarks to place a call to me. Like butter on hotcakes I melted upon hearing her tender, soft lilting voice. Now don't get me wrong, I didn't think every German spoke with a hard rigid gutteral tone, but I never realized how seductive their accent could be. They say French is the language of love but Sylvie's warm melodic words almost left me tongue tied. No surprise she uses that velvet voice to advertise movies and voice-overs for American imported TV shows.

OK, enough about Sylvie's voice, let's talk about the rest of her. Much like us all, she describes herself as often being a product of one extreme to another: cocky and shy, self-confident and weak, proud and yielding, happy and melancholy, difficult and accommodating, reasonable and inpulsive. Thankfully she's not too shy about showing the world that beauty doesn't have to come in a size two package. Her confidence is evident in the stunning photographs she's had taken of herself. No doubt she's leaving a strong and positive impression on the world as well as on her two young sweet daughters that have been a tremendous inspiration in her own life.

Sylvie may be soft in her voice and heart, but this gorgeous zaftig has a taste for the eerie when it comes to literature. She loves writers of the macabre like Stephen King, Dean Koontz and Clive Barker, but she lives for the master of goosebumps Edgar Allan Poe. I share her enthusiasm. When I first picked up a collection of his poems and short stories, I fell deep into his brilliant use of antiquated words and phrases from an antiquated time. There's really nothing at all modern about Poe's work and I think that obviously helps lend an air of solitude and dread to his tales of horror. As you can see from her portrait above, it was Poe that brought her to the couch.

Danke Miss Sylvie for being such a goddess of size in this weight-conscious world of ours. You truly make the words uber and babe go hand-in-hand.
