I haven’t done a Cher site review for eons. But my friend Jeffrey sent me this fabulous photo of Cher’s bling-bling nails circa the 1960s. The photo came from an absolutely even more fabulous Russian site called Cher Love: http://www.cherlove.net/
Home page photo of Cher doing a 360 is a tad creepy and the colors are gray and gloomy with an odd spray of pink. It’s almost like a subliminal political statement about a modern cold war.
Sections include:
- Film – a flat list with release dates; some personal commentary would be nice to add
- Multimedia – a good video collection from 2005-2008 including Cher’s Keep a Child Alive commercial and a C-span appearance.
- Biography – nothing for non-fans and nothing for 80s Geffen-era or Believe fans.
- Forum – the forum is in Russian so I didn’t bother to join. I will have my Russian-speaking friend dig in to it.
- Music – Flat list with release dates. My only quibble with the list is that the line item "1973 The Two of Us" should be in compilations since it was basically a re-release of two S&C early 60s albums.
- Links – Small list that’s a good to start doing your Cher surfing. I noticed yesterday that EverythingCher.com is back offline again. Sad face. So I took it off my favorites list. Another sad face.
- News – only began two months ago but is up to date. I like that it posts movie alerts when Cher movies appear on cable. Legitimate news that is always overlooked on other sites.
- Awards – Way cool awards list. So kewl I printed it out.
- However, the best section is the gallery which is absolutely a delicacy: http://www.cherlove.net/gallery/ It’s organized very efficiently – how Russian of them.
Gallery is organized by:
- Public events
Various public events, and other appearances. - Television
Captures, press photos, interview, and other images from television series and specials. - Candids
Various paparazzi photos. - Professional
Photoshoots, and modeling. - Films
Captures, press photos, and posters. - Magazines
Covers, and scans. - Live Tours
Live tours, and concerts. - Other Photo
Books, parfume, posters, art works, and other.
My favorite photo on the site so far is this one to the right above. I love that picture – so grunge-glam.
Plus an added benefit: you learn the Russian translations for all your favorite Cher words, like Mask is Маска. Cher Love: Worth it’s weight in rubles! Bravo.
MACKA is pronounced “MASKA” as the letter C in the Russian alphabet is the same sound as our S.
Glad that you have discovered Cher Love and YES the gallery is amazing!
