I have a lot of free time and I love editing pictures, so why not take requests? Besides I haven't done something like this in a long time and I really enjoy doing it. Leave a comment below with the celebrity you want.
P.S. If you want a blend, you have to tell me which programs (that are FREE) that I can download to make them. And I cannot gaurantee that they will come out decent so it will probably take a while. And if there's something you don't like about the edit, let me know and I'll fix it. And if it's for your twitter account or something and you want your username on it, let me know. Otherwise I will not put it on.

Church of St Peter Parmentergate, situated on King Street. Redundant since 1981 and now in the care of The Norwich Historic Churches Trust.
Monument to Richard †1615 and Elizabeth (née Hobart)† 1622 Berney. South wall of chancel, next to altar. Plaster. Commissioned by Elizabeth’s brother, Edward, 1623, at her request. Possibly by a member of Edward Stanyon’s workshop.
The monument was restored by Dr David Carrington of Skillingtons in 2008. Their website includes an account of the work and a portfolio of photos: www.skillingtons.co.uk/portfolio/norwich-st-peters/
A large and impressive monument, unusual in being of plaster. In scale it fits into the tradition of monuments to lords of the local manor, and the Latin inscription notes that the deceased were Richard Berney †1615 of Langley and Elizabeth, the daughter of Sir Jacob Hobart of Hales Hall. It continues that she died in 1622, and that the monument was commissioned by her brother, Edward Hobart in 1623. Blomefield notes that by 1626 the Berneys are recorded as owning Berneys-Inn near the churchyard. It was recorded in King Street from 1267 to the 15th century and the site has been identified by Plunkett as nos 86 to 90, on the same side as the church just before King Street joins Mountergate.
Richard and Elizabeth Berney lie in their dark robes on their backs, their hands clasped prayer, presumably to the haloed heads of Christ and the Virgin Mary on the elaborate decorative scroll framing the Latin inscription. Elizabeth rests her feet on a heraldic bull (the Hobart family emblem) and Richard on a bear (a punning reference to Berney). The base is decorated with simulated marble with two cherubs to remind us of death. One sleeps on a skull, holding an extinguished torch and his companion on an hour-glass, holding a grave-digger’s spade. The colour is taken up in the figures of the three cardinal virtues flanking the splendid achievement: Hope with anchor and chain, Faith, bible in hand and Charity giving suck, with another infant at her feet. The canopy, with its black Doric columns, is decorated with angel heads and in the centre an improbable plumed American Indian – a reminder of the renewed call for recruits to and investment in the London based Virginia Company.
Their coats of arms are supported by two bears, with Father Time holding his scythe above as a further reminder of death. Given the difficulty of producing plaster figures it is not surprising that the patterning of the surround behind them (based on a Renaissance model popularised by Sansovino in Venice), the strapwork of the cartouche and decoration of their ruffs, for instance, is of higher quality than the effigies. This, though, raises the question of the choice of plaster for a funeral monument. One obvious reason is cost. In 1608 Sir William Paston paid £200 for a comparable monument in St Edmund, Paston, which had combined alabaster and marble. Plaster must have been considerably cheaper and Edward Hobart may have been encouraged by the presence of one of London’s leading plasterers, Edward Stanyon, in Norfolk. Especially since he would have known Stanyon’s ceilings for Sir Henry Hobart at Blickling in 1620, as well as those at Felbrigg for Thomas Windham from 1621-23. Stanyon remained in Norfolk to produce a now lost overmantel at Hunstanton Hall from 1624-1626, which would have included modelling in higher relief than his ceilings. Both branches of the Hobarts (Blickling and Hales Hall) were descended from Sir James Hobart (d. 1517), attorney-general to Henry VII, who had moved into his major residence at Hales Hall, Loddon by 1482. Stanyon had trained a number of apprentices, some of whom would have worked with him in Norfolk, and later Apethorpe Hall in Northampton. Dr. Claire Gapper, the leading specialist of British Renaissance plasterwork, has suggested that it is therefore probable that the monument was produced by Stanyon’s team, but added that that it is difficult to be certain in the absence of any surviving comparative plasterwork.

West German postcard. Photo: Real / Allianz Film. Laya Raki in Die Dritte von rechts / The Third from the Right (Géza von Cziffra, 1950).
Exotic dancer and film actress Laya Raki (1927-2018) was a popular sex symbol in Germany during the 1950s. She appeared in revealing outfits in film and photographs, capturing men's attention like no German showgirl. Later, she also became an international star with her roles in British films and TV productions.
Laya Raki was born Brunhilde Marie Alma Herta Jörns in Calvörde near Brunswick, Germany, in 1927. Her parents were acrobat Maria Althoff and her partner, acrobat and clown Wilhelm Jörns. Her mother left when Brunhilde was five, and life was tough in the immediate aftermath of the war in occupied Germany. As Brunhilde was an admirer of the legendary dancer La Jana and liked to drink raki, she assumed her stage name Laya Raki. The seventeen-year-old Laya made ends meet by cashing in on the fad for erotic cabaret by performing a striptease, initially at the Monte Carlo Club in Berlin. With a solid background in ballet and having followed in her father's footsteps as an acrobat, she found herself perfectly suited to performing all manner of exotic and alluring dances. She attracted attention for the first time in 1947-1950 as a glamour dancer (in German: Schönheitstänzerin) in Frankfurt and other German cities. When she performed again in Berlin, her star began to rise: her 38-23-36 figure and erotic radiance became the talk of the town. With her newfound fame as Germany's most popular nightclub performer came engagements in Scandinavia, Switzerland, and Italy. Film company DEFA engaged her for a small role as a rumba dancer in Der Rat der Götter/The Council of the Gods (Kurt Maetzig, 1950), which won two awards. The Berliner Morgenpost reported that she was a great dancer with an expressive face, rich in nuances. That same year, the press department of Realfilm presented her as their discovery in Die Dritte von rechts/The Third from the Right (Géza von Cziffra, 1950), starring Vera Molnar. It was a rather boring revue film, but the highlight was the scene in which the scantily clad Raki (with only two white stars on her nipples) exposed herself to the lustful gazes of the cinema audiences. In 1953, she danced in Ehe für eine Nacht/Marriage for One Night (Viktor Tourjansky, 1953), starring Gustav Fröhlich, Hannelore Bollmann, and Adrian Hoven. In Die Rose von Stambul/The Rose of Stamboul (Karl Anton, 1953), Austrian actor Paul Hörbiger wanted to marry her upon seeing her dancing.
In 1954, Laya Raki was lured to London by a swindler with empty promises of film roles in the United Kingdom and Hollywood. This was a bigamist and serial fraudster, Arthur Howard Rowson, posing as a big-time producer and director, 'Major Michael Howard'. Her unemployed situation made headlines in the British newspapers, which in turn opened opportunities quickly. Howard is sentenced at London’s Old Bailey to seven years of preventive detention. The J. Arthur Rank Film Company, which needed a slightly exotic type for a film in New Zealand, received her with open arms. They gave Raki the role of the seductive wife of a Maori chieftain in The Seekers (Ken Annakin, 1954) opposite Jack Hawkins and Glynis Johns. She created a worldwide stir by baring her breasts. Next, she played in the comedy Up to His Neck (John Paddy Carstairs, 1954) and the adventure film Quentin Durward (Richard Thorpe, 1955) starring Robert Taylor. She also appeared in the revue 'Cockles and Champagne', presented and produced by Cecil Landau. In Germany, she acted in film productions like Am Anfang war es Sünde/The Beginning Was Sin (Frantisek Cáp, 1954) with Viktor Staal, and Die Frau des Botschafters/The Ambassador's Wife (Hans Deppe, 1955) with Ingrid Andree. In the Heimatfilm Roter Mohn/Red Poppy (Franz Antel, 1956), she played the gipsy girl Ilonka and conducted refreshing dialogues with famous Viennese comic Hans Moser. After some acting lessons in Hollywood, she appeared in several British TV productions, including 39 episodes of the series Crane (1962-1965). She played Moroccan dancer and bartender Halima, the partner of smuggler Richard Crane (Patrick Allen). In the meantime, she modelled for postcards, pin-up photos and magazines all over the world. In 1962, she recorded the songs 'Faire l'amour' and the Twist song 'Oh Johnny hier nicht parken' (Oh, Johnny don´t park here). The latter was banned by a Nuremberg court, which thought her ecstatic moaning was imitating coitus. She continued to play in German films, including the Krimis Die Nylonschlinge/Nylon Noose (Rudolf Zehetgruber, 1963) with Dietmar Schönherr, and Das Haus auf dem Hügel/The House on the Hill (Werner Klingler, 1964) starring Australian-born actor Ron Randell. She also appeared with him in her last film, Savage Pampas (Hugo Fregonese, 1966), starring Robert Taylor. In 1957, Laya Raki married Ron Randell in London. They appeared together on the Sydney stage in 'Come Live with Me'. “He is the best and most beautiful man in the world”, she told the press, and she remained at his side until he died in 2005. Her second husband was Duane O. Wood, a former vice president of Lockheed International. They married in 2009 and lived in Los Angeles. There, her husband died earlier in 2018, and Laya passed away on 21 December 2018.
